BAFTA will look back on James's outstanding contribution to television with a short film. His many TV shows include Clive James on Television, Saturday Night Clive, and the documentary series Fame in the 20th Century.
BAFTA chief executive Amanda Berry said: "Clive James is an incredible talent, and a great influence on many working in television today.
