Those Comedy Awards

Monday, January 25th, 2010


The British Comedy Guide website had some reader awards and guess what? The people we like proved to be very very popular…

Comedy
Peep Show, That Mitchell & Webb Look, That Mitchell & Webb Sound, Sorry I’ve Got No Head and Bleak Expectations all ‘received’ virtual gongs. More specific info can be found at their very good site, along with episode guides and pretty things.

Those Comedy Awards nominations

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009


It’s that time again and there are some interesting Comedy Awards nominations:

Best Sketch Show
The Kevin Bishop Show
That Mitchell and Webb Look
Harry & Paul (Series 2)
This should be straightforward enough in my opinion…

Best Sitcom
Peep Show
The IT Crowd
Outnumbered: Series 2

Best Television Comedy Actor
Rob Brydon – Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special
Simon Bird – The Inbetweeners
Robert Webb – Peep Show
Damnit, I think Simon Bird is very good in The Inbetweeners but I also like Rob as Jeremy in Peeep Show but which is best?

Michael McIntyre also got nominated for a load of awards for some reason and in a slightly madder revelation the powers that be decided that Charlie Brooker is a newcomer.

Those British Comedy Awards

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007


Hurrah! Peep Show has just won Best TV Comedy award (presented by Faye Dunaway) and David won best comedy actor award (presented by Twiggy and Gok Wan. Yikes!) at the British Comedy Awards which were not on the telly as there was that whole other thing about potentially dodgy text voting last year. So yes, hurrah.

BAFTAwang revisited…

Saturday, May 26th, 2007


Mister James Bachman pointed me towards this longer clip of the BAFTAwang moment. I really love the ‘coverage of people’ sketches and almost but not quite shed a little tear over how bad Little Britain got.
