Little Dorrit an early Emmy winner
The BBC adaptation of Charles Dickens' Little Dorrit has been among the early winners at the Emmy Awards.
The annual event recognising success in the US television industry got under way at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
In the pre-televised segment of the show Little Dorrit picked up a handful of trophies, including those for art direction, costumes and cinematography.
Meanwhile, Churchill biopic Into The Storm picked up the Emmy for music composition.
The 61st Emmy Awards opened with a glitzy song routine by host Neil Patrick Harris. The former Doogie Howser MD star wasted no time before making jokes at rapper Kanye West's expense.
The hip hop star was forced to apologise after ruining singer Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at last week's MTV video music awards.
"Here's hoping Kanye west likes 30 Rock," the host quipped in reference to the Tina Fey sitcom which is up for 22 Emmys.
