In Danny Boyle’s role-swapping production, Benedict Cumberbatch andJohnny Lee Miller played Frankenstein one night and the creature the next, but the judges gave Cumberbatch the edge for an “astonishing and expectation-shattering” performance which involved him bursting stark naked out of a six-foot pod of skin.

Cumberbatch was away filming Star Trek in Canada, but sent a speech in which he said that he never read critics until after he’d finished a role, when it was a “bittersweet treat”.
