British Comedy Awards

I can't see a thread for this but its on right now on ITV1

What did you all think of Jonathan's opening monologue?

Johnny Rotten and Paul O'Grady very funny just then. Loved Johnny dragging it out for ages, and Paul's acceptance speech.

Paul O'Grady was very funny and was rather honest about the whole thing, also expecting those two little shíts to get the award.

Though I had to agree with Simon Cowell about The X Factor winning, which was just strange.

The Simpsons winning was a classic there, what a perfect speech, had me falling over in laughter.

I missed that bit, what happened?

Simon questioned how the X Factor won as it's not a comedy show.

The X Factor thing let me down. It got awarded as a "Comedy Entertainment" show, and says that it is going to be followed by two more series.

You have to admit, The X factor is just getting boring now.

However, Dan Castenalla's (i know that's incorrect) speech was hilarious:

"We have Madonna, now you have Madonna"
"You have the Beatles, we have the Rolling Stones"

I disagree that the X Factor is getting boring, but I agree it is not a comedy programme.

X-Factor winning isn't that strange as one year Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? also won a comedy award.

Who Wants to be a Millionaire - now that is a show that's become boring. Stale isn't the word.

It was sixteen minutes and thirty-two seconds too long.

A major part of the comedy for me is the look of terror on Jonathan Ross' face trying to get to the news for 10:30.
