Shame to see LoM not taking more awards. The audience award is the one that matters most, surely?

As usual the only joy was seeing random shots of celebrities looking bored, or the faces of some of the other nominees when they hadn't won.
John Simm looked like he wished he hadn't bothered wasting his evening by turning up.
Highlight of the evening was BAFTA's always tasteful 'Parade of the Dead'Bazinga !

BAFTA Winners 2008:
Comedy hits Gavin and Stacey and Harry Hill's TV Burp have taken the glory at the Bafta Television Awards in London. BBC Three's Gavin and Stacey beat the likes of Strictly Come Dancing and Britain's Got Talent to the audience award, voted for by the public. Its co-writer and actor James Corden also won best comedy performance.
ITV's Harry Hill won best entertainment performance and programme, while Dame Eileen Atkins beat Cranford co-star Dame Judi Dench to win best actress. Cranford had led the nominations with four, but Dame Eileen won the costume drama's only prize of the night. Dame Eileen, who played Miss Deborah Jenkyns, in the adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's work, was last nominated for a Bafta TV Award in 1969 and had never previously won. Andrew Garfield was named best actor for his role in Boy A, Channel 4's drama about a juvenile child-killer.
Holby City won a Bafta TV Award for the first time, triumphing over EastEnders, Emmerdale and The Bill in the continuing drama category. Coronation Street was not even nominated. Jimmy McGovern's The Street was named best drama series for the second year in a row, beating Life On Mars, Rome and Skins. Channel 4's Britz, a thriller about two young British Muslims, won the best drama serial prize. Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares was named best feature, Heroes picked up the international prize and Iraq story The Mark of Cain won best single drama.
The best comedy programme prize went to Fonejacker, while Peep Show was crowned best situation comedy. Gavin and Stacey was not even nominated in the sitcom category - the unsuccessful nominees were Benidorm, The IT Crowd and The Thick Of It. Meanwhile, Bruce Forsyth received Bafta's highest accolade, the Academy Fellowship, in recognition of his "outstanding body of work".Best actor

What a joke. How can you not even nominate the most popular two shows on British TV ("Doctor Who" and "Coronation Street")?

The clip they used to illustrate Holby City was so deadly dull, I still can't believe it won. And Eastenders got nominated for having 12 months of the same Max/Stacey plotline.....

No, Doctor Who kept winning, so they didn't nominate it this time to give others a chance to win.
