  2. Hey I’m from the UK so I wanted to clear a few things up regarding a couple of comments.

    @RoD Waterloo Road is indeed a drama set in a school and, although it may seem like a soap and be shown in such a timeslot in Australia, it is shown at 8pm on bbc one over here, is not regarded as a soap due to it being weekly and is gaining quite a following especially last year.

    @Dave It may seem odd and it did surprise many over here but all but 1 of the NTAs were voted by the British public. I have actually got the impression over here that although popular, Doctor Who did dominate the past few NTAs and the public may have wanted a bit of a shake up to the norm. As for why Sherlock was ignored, noone knows. It’s shocked a lot of people over here as Sherlock got one of the highest ratings of the year when it was shown.

  3. Emmerdale was robbed!!! My better half convinced me to watch it one day and was hooked straight away which suprised me as I normally can’t stand soapies.

    Danny Miller deserved the win as well, his performance as the confused and angry Aaron coming out of the closet was brilliant and from such a young actor as well made it even more amazing.

    Just wish UK TV would start airing more episodes per week so we can catch up with the UK

  6. @Dave – too right!

    What is ‘Waterloo Road’? Has it had an Australian release? I’m keen to see what could pip either Doctor Who’s best season ever or the superb Sherlock!

  7. First year Doctor Who had some serious competition from a programme that the same group of people liked. Putting Doctor Who up against Sherlock, and Matt Smith up against Benedict Cumberbatch immediately meant that neither were going to get it.

    But who cares? Doctor Who and Sherlock were both brilliant – don’t need the NTA to tell us that.

  8. So the first year that Doctor Who actually deserved the award is the first year they don’t give it? That’s very odd, and very like an award ceremony…

  11. Bruce Forsyth. “Nice to see you – to see you nice” – Used to watch him in the eighties on the generation game on some channel in Adelaide that had bought it as a summer filler from the UK – Very amusing Host
