It think it coudl do very well on Ch4, but if there were not on ITV, I think there would be unhappy because there couldn't slag of ITV

I found Jonathan Ross' advert for Highlands Spring hilarious. What was even funnier though is that he got in perhaps even a bigger plug for OneTel without them having to pay a single penny

I don't get why this is on ITV.

Are they not watching it and feeling rather embarrassed at their lack of comedy, Harry Hill excepted (and his is a clip show).

Sure they've made up awards to get Ant n Dec to win something for ITV ("comedy entertainment") but in all the real categories, the nominations were clean sweeps for the BBC and Channel 4.

Even five managed a genuine comedy nomination.

And then as well as broadcasting this advert for other channels, they have a presenter who's tied to the BBC and happily slates ITV live on air.

I can understand having the "soap awards" as fitting with ITV's viewer demographic, but frankly having the comedy awards on ITV is a joke in itself.

True. I suppose people can't complain that ITV are being biased towards themselves, in terms of who wins comedy awards-- since there aren't decent comedy shows on ITV to be nominated (HH aside)!
