The National Television Awards 2005

Seems to be the fashion now just to have a mic, rather than podium!

So, Anthony Cotton won "Most Popular Newcomer" - seven years after his big break. Surely Billie Piper should have been a contender. And Royal Mail counted the votes - that explains how EastEnders won then!


The categories need a bit of sort out though - there really aren't that many quiz shows or even reality shows now, and there are no categories for sport or news.

How many awards has Tony Warren got now?

I can see it now
"And the nominations are, BBC News and the Boxing Day Tsunami"
Audience: whooo!! yeaaaah!
"The July 7th attacks, an ITV News Special"
whoooooo!!

Ever since Big Brother started the factual category has been a bit unbalanced, with serious docs mixed in with reality type docs

I've been told Kate ford has a dig at EE in her interview,Are all the Corrie cast childish?

I seem to remember Kate Ford got a little hyped up about something last year or was it the Soap awards?

Oh here goes - the tart and her butler's just arrived on stage. Welcome to the chavfest.

God knows where they've dragged the audience in from, its those that couldn't get in for Gameshow Marathon! Screaming whenever Big Brother or EastEnders is mentioned!

As Peter Kay said "You can tell its half term week" "Who's this [mic] for? Janette Krankie?"

Andrew 'freddie' flintoff didn't look impressed with that award being sprung on him!

Anyone else want to take a machine gun to those screaming girls at the back?

Indeed screaming and shouting as if it was a Westlife special on CD:UK. I bet they were all mini Jessie Wallaces sat in the cheap seats

Loved the programme, except the Saturday Night Takeaway style audience. Very annoying.

Those women were dreadful. Screaming 'Nigel! Nigel!' when the nominations for most popular actor were read out. They weren't half pleased when Christopher Eccleston won, did you hear them booing? As if Nigel "Wooden" Harman was their god, he can't even act for goodness sake. They only fancy him.

Peter Kay stole the show again, loved him, especially when he went on about Chico from 'The X Factor", well said Peter, well said.
