Winners and Losers at the BAFTAS

[Adam Colclough]

Well its BAFTA time again and all the glitterati of the media world trooped down to London yesterday (Monday) in black ties and ball gowns for their annual bean feast.

It was good to see Life on Mars win the audience award, meaning the award voted for by the audience not one for pulling in the largest, though it must have been in with a shout of getting that one too.

As it happened the judges seemed to take pleasure in ignoring the most original programme on the box for some strange reason, it couldn’t be jealousy could it?

It was also good to see Jim Broadbent pick up the Best Actor award for his performance in ITV’s one off drama Longford about the relationship between the saintly, or silly depending on your point of view, Peer and the notorious Moors Murderers. It’s just a shame most of the other programmes made by the channel are too dire for words.
