Good show - but I didn't know half of the people/programmes that were nominated!!
WHO nominates these people??
I was looking for Miranda, Alan Carr, Not Going Out, Sarah Millican etc to be involved somewhere down the line.
I have Freeview - SKY is a waste of money (IMO !!!)
Harry Enfield deserved to win though! ("Isn't show business lovely?")
And Brendan for doing Mrs Brown was worthy.
Graham Norton was well-deserved - but I think Alan Carr deserved it more!!
Just my opinions....I think the judges were probably trying to be 'hip' (being old geezers that I'm sure they were!!!)
Lee Mack??? WTF!! Such a consistently unfunny guy!!
You couldn't be more wrong. He is consistently funny on 'Would I Lie To You' (which also won an award) and received unanimous praise on the thread about that show.
Beyond shameful that our very own Rik Mayall wasn't mentioned, and also Robin Williams, whose work I didn't like but even I would respect his status as a comedy genius.
As for that fella off Mrs Brown's Boys getting an award?! They could give one to him for that appalling, pi$$ poor of an excuse of an (old fashioned and dated) comedy but couldn't find 1 minute for Rik? I expected a posthumous award in recognition of his work at the very least.
As for the awards, so thrilled Nick Helm won, he's amazing in Uncle and I'm really looking forward to the new series! Glad Rev won too, dry, witty and original. Delighted Miranda 'I fall over, isn't it funny' bloody Hart didn't win anything!
I assume detectorists wasnt eligible?
Glad Rev got something, sorry Wrong Mans didnt but the clips from both really didnt do them justice. Michael Palin proving what a lovely man he is again. Harry Enfield v funny first time anyway
Does anyone know why Alpha Papa hasn't been on for free yet? I was thinking they might be keeping it back for Christmas. But it seems not, as far as I can gather.

It's interesting watching the unknown people in the audience looking so glum and apparently antagonistic when Ross opens the event with the best bit of verbal humour you'll hear all year.
It's like they are at a funeral they didn't want to attend.
Couldn't be ars*d to watch this, but am I right in saying House of Fools won an award? Rather pleased if that's the case. And I really must try to catch Toast of London sometime. Sounds right up my street.
And you know Stewart Lee was robbed, Jefferson. You're just in denial about how much you love him.

Haha, that was pretty funny really
Only time I enjoy Ross really (Johnathon that is )
Harry Enfield was very funny

Wasn't the best British Comedy Awards I've seen and it wasn't helped by the fact that many of the winners did not turn up.

Maybe if you actually watched them, you would be in a better position to pass judgement.

Have you been living in a monastery for the past 5 years?
What programme is this to which you refer?

Can we have it broadcast live next year please!
They've hardly been all over my t.v. screen.
Nice reference to Stewart Lee holding a grudge - "one for the room there".
I saw it on Sky box office just over 12 months ago. Shouldn't it have been on free by now?
Having seen that film over 12 months ago might give you a clue as to why it wasn't nominated in British Comedy Awards 2014.
They don't always seem to confine themselves like that. And it didn't get nominated last year.
Still no one else bothered.

According to this there wasn't a 'Best Comedy Film' category last year, it seems the last time they did have that category was in 2011.
just buy the dvd
I don't want the dvd.
It's like they are at a funeral they didn't want to attend.

Well you want to watch it don't you
I do. But I don't want the dvd.
