National Television Awards

You were correct, they did fill it with promos. I used to like what they did with I'm a Celeb and Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Take Away. They used to start the ITV2 show on time (or even early) and have a different camera feed of the main show, so a camera at the side of the stage on AADSNTA or a long shot on IACGMOOH.

Very pleased Corrie won.

You can tell Dermot gets such an adrenaline rush from presenting unlike awkward Sir Trev. Enjoyed the revamp even if it did have a Cowell theme to it

Like someone said a few pages back, did anyone see the big plug for EastEnders? Celebrating 25 years old. No, of course not. We don't want them to win fairly.

We're on ITV, we're going to 'fix' the votes by showing a Corrie trailer, and going on about it, because it is 50 years old. ... And they won the Serial Drama award. Surprise, surprise!!

Thanks Simon Cowell for making the NTA, what was a respectable, tasteful show to watch, into a big reality TV 'X Factor's Got Talent' show.

I am over the moon that Corrie won - totally unexpected as usually they don't get a look at the NTA - so thats makes it all the more exciting!

Eastenders was robbed, last year was a poor year for Corrie - I think Bill's 50 year speech had something to do with it, as the trailer with the upcoming storylines did look good.

As for the show, it was very different and I enjoyed it much more. I actually liked Dermot much more too! Have to say I was a bit sad Arlene never gave us her 'performance'

Half way through watching the ceremony, and I feel sick watching it. Ever since Sir Trev was replaced, it's been terrible thanks to the horribly bland Dermot and near enough everything related to the X Factor revolving around it.

I think Joe had the wrong song given to him tonight, it was painful to watch.



Wait.....Isn't this the National Television Awards?

haha

I don't think the 'liveness' of them is something that occurs to the vast majority of the audience let alone discourage them from watching.

No show gets the 'audiences they used to', TV is fragmented. Also people are more cynical about award ceremonies and at this time of year especially we get overloaded by them

Sor-Sorry... but... Dermot... Dannii... Cheryl... Jedward... Joe... how the hell can...

I now consider the NTAs dead. R.I.P...

No, the broadcasters are running scared of the press. Nothing's really changed regulation wise since the ITC.
You need to blame the likes of Mr Dacre


How many programmes are broadcast on a delay? I think you'll find there's very few.

It's always been terrible.

I caught a bit of it and couldn't watch any more due to the screaming screeching audience
