I only caught the end of it. Am I right in thinking there was a phone in vote for greatest living Briton and the top three were Margaret Thatcher, Robbie Williams and the Queen?
Anyhow the Queen won on the phone vote, and Prince Edward had already recorded a thank you message. How did he do that if they had only just got the results or did they contact everyone in the list to record a message - I suspect not!
But how can you possibly have a Greatest Briton vote with people like The Queen, Baroness Thatcher, Robbie Williams and likewise? Its like choosing between peas, carrots, potatoes and cabbage.
Also, Banksy winning Briton's Greatest Artist... what? He's just a graffiti vandal!
The whole show seemed like it was created just to try and lure David Beckham back to the UK. Pathetic.

Not wanting to start a mass argument but Banksy is a bit different to "Tox" & the rest he does actually do some arty stuff. The only thing is that Banksy would be best to do is put his work on a canvas (which he has done in the past) rather than a wall
For what it's worth it only got 2.9m against 8.8m for New Tricks on BBC1.
Good! I hope ITV won't bring a 'Greatest Britons 2008' next year. It was an awful 'awards' show, the part I seen of it, where David Beckham stood on stage for is award, standing their for ages whilst the audience applauded... then decided to make a speach.
Yeah, a standing ovation for David Beckham really shows how this country's up its own arse! Granted, he's a brilliant footballer, but he's not Mother Teresa. Again... the whole show seemed to be based around him.
Well either that or ITV completely ballsed this show up (which I think they did) and were padding time.
They were the same with Hellen Mirren. OK, she gave an amazing performance in an otherwise quite boring film, but with the way they worshiped her you'd be forgiven for thinking she'd brought world peace. She loved it though - she's so full of her self
I hate these kind of shows including the 'Pride Of Britain Awards' - they're so patronising.
