The National Television Awards 2005

Again, fine example of Chav Britain.

There could have been someone better than Jamie Oliver to get the Special Recognition surely?

I know it's only the National Television Awards, but embargoes do exist for a reason and obviously didn't want things in the public domain until 10.30 (possibly because the awards hadn't even finished!) - breaking embargoes just isn't cricket, son.

Are those two statements to be taken together? Although there are many TV chefs I enjoy more, Jamie strikes me as the antithesis of "chav" culture on account of the fact he works.

A loxton-like overuse of the word "chav" doesn't really help clarity.

Get you ol'boy.

Naa, I meant chav britain as in the nation voting for EastEnders over Corrie and the whole What's On TV/TV Quick thing - sorry. innit.

Notice they've done away with that 5 second ident montage at the start this year.

Trevor is letting his hair down for his once a year non-serious appearance tonight!

And the 2 conservative leaders got booed when they came on, for some reason. Doesn't Tony Blair appear later?

Not the same watching it when we know the results though is it.

Does anyone else think the set looks a bit cheaper than normal?

Looks like the same set as last year?

Not really, I can't remember what the set looked like last year!

Funny to see David Cameron and David Davis presenting an award. I can't imagine the chavs who watch this would have any idea who they are.

And is it really appropriate to put Crimewatch UK as a contender for an award in the same category as Supernanny and Wife Swap?

I think it's smaller, and I'd prefer having a podium where they give the awards.

But you're watching it and you clearly know who they are
