National Television Awards

I think nearly every year since this has started there always seems to be some confusion over how a certain soap keeps winning the award even when it was at its lowest and other were at their best. As it is voted for by the public I think it previously showed that the average viewer couldnt determine a good patch from a bad patch and instinctively kept voting for a certain soap over another soap. I suppose its the type of audience soaps generally attract.

I voted and nearly on all accounts I think the correct programme/person won.

It's what we've come to expect.

We all know that Corrie is the most popular. I had a feeling Eastenders would win it so im not that surprised. Lets hope 2007 will be Corrie's year for awards.

And I cannot believe he has gone and posted the full list of awards after I asked people to put spoiler tags earlier as well

Sorry i have now put Tags on them,Sorry but if Corrie Went home with 2 awards and EastEnders nothing people would call it a Crisis even if they we're top Ratings

Ratings are just a "guess" to me as are the awards,Its time everyone had a barb box

No they wouldnt, they only call it a crisis when viewing figures drop to an all time low like they did for EE this year I believe

Ratings are more important than awards.

Yes, let's get the ball rolling with the BAFTAs. I'm hoping Corrie can regain that award. It's absolutely brilliant at the moment, and if it can keep this quality up throughout the rest of the year (I've seen spoilers and they look good) then next year it should have no problem in succeeding.

They are a very, very accurate estimate.

Who's voting? I can only think some EE executive is sitting at home with some kind of switchboard and jilting the votes. How irritating.

As for the rest, I'll give my final verdict tomorrow night but why did Noel Edmonds not turn up? I can only think he's still not that popular in the "celebrity" circuit and quite a vile little man behind the scenes. Mind you he did turn up last year (with his daughters) didn't he? or was that the Baftas?

EastEnders fans? I suppose unlike Granada, the BBC don't pump out fake hype about their soap. Corrie fans just expect it to win, usually on the back of how great ITV say it is.

ITV might say its great, it doesn't mean it is. The ITV50 fix so they could just boast its the best show ever from ITV has no doubt been believed by the Corrie massive. For most people however, I expect that that show being 'voted' the best ever just shows the rest can't have been that good.

I say it is, so it must be.

Ahem.
