Cunk On Britain, Detectorists, The Windsors and The Young Offenders have been nominated in the International Rose d'Or Awards.

The winners will be revealed in September in Germany.

It has also been announced today that this year's Lifetime Achievement Rose d'Or will be given to Absolutely Fabulous star Joanna Lumley. She says: "I am so thrilled and honoured to receive the Rose d'Or in September. I can't tell you what it means to me. It's an absolute thrill, something I would never have dreamed of."
