April 29 (UPI) -- Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan are to host the BAFTA TV Awards gala at Royal Festival Hall in London on May 12.

This will mark the second year in a row the comedy duo emcees the prize presentation, which is billed as Britain's "biggest annual celebration of TV."

"We're back, baby," Ranganathan said in a new promotional video for the event, joking that the news they will return to host again will no doubt disappoint the one critic on Instagram who predicted they would never be back after last year's performance.

The ceremony will be broadcast on BBC One, iPlayer and BritBox International.
