When does it close?

View original

Good question! I never set a closing date (in case we needed to run it longer) however it'll almost certainly close soon - maybe Sunday, if not next week.

If you're reading this and haven't yet voted, time to get a move on!

Well the biggest surprise from that was CT as worst sketch show. I thought Its Adam and Shelly had it in the bag after the comments on here.

I think Id agree in general with most of those results, though no way was Tates the worst sketch show; Im not a big fan of hers but come on-there were many many worse examples of this form! I think thats more an indicator of peoples general dislike of Tate. Im not sure why people do hate her so much, she doesnt appear obnoxious or big headed; is it the old 'hate you 'cos youre succesful' thing again, a la Gervais?

Yes, I thought it would too. I think it must have been tactical voting - as was mentioned earlier in the thread some people deliberately didn't vote for digital comedies because they were unlikely to have been seen by as many people as the terrestrial comedies.

Well for me, I hadn't seen half the sketch shows listed, so whichever one I voted as "worst" (can't remember now!) was really only "worst out of about four". There probably were a lot of worse offenders in the list.

I think people got fed up with the repetition, but I too think the hatred is a little unfair. We had so many people slate A&S on here though.

Awww... Tittybangbang voted worst again. I actually like it. Probably only because I think Lucy Montgomery is strangely attractive. If I were a lesbian.....


P.S. Little Miss Jocelyn on the other hand needs a slap.

I think it's partly due to the repetition as others have said but, at times, she does come across badly. When she fails to win awards, she should smile and accept it but instead she whines which won't endear her to anyone.
 

I think it is worth look at both award ceremonies to see which shows and performers have performed the best and worst over time.

* David Mitchell - By default, he has won the most awards, due the his special award dedicated just for him in 2006. He also won the 2006 award for Best Sketch Show (That Mitchell and Webb Look), Worst Comedy Quiz Show of 2006 (Best of the Worst) and Best Returning Sitcom (Peep Show). Five awards at least (possibly seven if you count the number of times he has appeared on QI).
* QI - Won the award for Best Panel Show both in 2006 and 2007, the only programme to retain an award.
* Green Wing - Won Best Returning Sitcom and BSG Readers' Award in 2006.
* The IT Crowd - Best New Sitcom of 2006 and BSG Readers' Award (Best) in 2007.
* Tittybangbang - Worst Sketch Show of 2006 and BSG Reader's Award (Worst) in 2007 - offically the worst comedy in the awards.

Some interesting analysis there Ian, thanks. Nice to see people's opinions of QI and Tittybangbang haven't changed.
