Ahhh. Finally the plaudits start flooding in.

This from none other than Mrs Gail Rogers

Hey Levers,

Love the photos, and the blog especially. I shall read regularly - keep
it up!

Gail

I feel so honoured. It's almost like getting a National Television
Award. Many a night I've spent on the toilet, rehearsing my acceptance
speech with ITN Anchorman, Sir Trevor McDonald. Although, I feel at this
point I should make it clear that this is merely taking place in my
head. Sir Trevor has not and it seems likely never will be sharing a
toilet with myself. That pleasure will surely be reserved for him ans
his wife, and maybe the odd ITN newsreaders such as Katie Durham, or
Nicholas Owen. And long may it continue to do so.

The NTA's, or the ITV NTA's to give it, it's full title, were notable
for 50 thousand audience members booing prospective Tory candidates
David Cameron and David Davis (strangly omitted from the weeks edition of Have I Got News For You, despite lengthy Cameron/Davis baiting), who were to announce the winner of the
Award for Best Drama Made For The BBC in Wales by BBC Wales Called Dr
Who. It being the ITV NTA's, the prize went to Bad Girls. Or so most ITV
execs would have thought!. What they failed to realise is that on the
rare occassion the great British Institution known as Dr Who becomes
shortlised for an award voted by the public, every Dr Who fan worth his
salt, turns into a rabid dog, and bomards the swichboard/website
continually until voting closes. Proof why Chris Eccleston won Best
Gurner, and Billie Piper won Best One Time Pop Star Who Was Marrried To
Washed Up DJ And TV Host Chris Evans. I kept my votes down to
respectable six.

On the other hand, was this programme and it's leads any less deserving
of the awards than the usual shite such as the Bill, Zoe Flamin' Lucker,
or Jack Duckworth?

I think not. Quality drama, quality cast, and it kicked the crap out of
ITV's low-grade Celebrity Wrestling.

Bring on the Xmas Special!

But what must've really erked the ITV execs, was the BBC's Eastenders running off with the Best Soap Award. Despite, the fact it's been shite for the past year! (well, up until the return of the Mitchell's last week)
