Great to see Rev pick up Best Sitcom. Not outright hilarious, but created a low-key universe of its own. I’ll tip Friday Night Dinner for this time next year.
What I wouldn’t give to have a local version of Have I Got News for You. Watching that in 1995 when I arrived in London was my way of getting up to speed with what the news stories I heard meant, and who was who in a cultural context.
Still the king of news-quiz-comedies.
Great win for Sherlock – what a brilliant series! And The Cube was brilliant! Am really hoping that makes a return to Aussie screens.
Gillian Anderson should have won on Any Human Heart, she’s brilliant as Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor.
Yay Misfits
The public gave it to that reality crap? Guess there are morons in every country.
Sad for Miranda Hart, but hurray for Jo Brand, as she is brilliant on Getting On.
Shame about Miranda.
With that being said, I haven’t really watched the other shows.
