When Bridgerton galloped onto Netflix screens in December 2020, it redefined period drama for the streaming age. Shonda Rhimes’ lavish adaptation of Julia Quinn’s novels blended diverse casting and corseted romance with modern pop sensibilities, drawing 82 million households in its debut month. The show broke records as Netflix’s top series back then, earned Regé-Jean Page an NAACP Image Award, and claimed an Emmy for lush hairstyling and narration. While later seasons faced divided critics, the Ton’s gossip-fueled world spawned merchandise lines and global fandoms, cementing its status as a streaming landmark.

The 2025 BAFTA TV Awards spotlighted television’s most unforgettable scenes, with Bridgerton’s one specific scene stealing the spotlight.

The 2025 BAFTA TV Awards unveiled its nominees for the Memorable Moment Award, with Bridgerton leading the race. Sponsored by P&O Cruises, the fan-voted category celebrated iconic TV scenes that resonated with audiences. Bridgerton’s nomination centered on the viral carriage scene, where Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) confessed his love to Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan). The moment, blending tension and romance, became a social media sensation, solidifying the show’s cultural footprint.

Five other nominees joined Bridgerton (which became a boon for the UK) in the category. Gavin & Stacey: The Finale earned a nod for Smithy’s emotional cliffhanger, while Mr Bates vs The Post Office highlighted Jo Hamilton’s Horizon helpline call. Rivals secured a spot for its absurd tennis scene, Strictly Come Dancing celebrated Chris McCausland’s moving 'You’ll Never Walk Alone' routine, and Traitors was recognized for Paul’s shocking Ross is my son twist.
