The Bill has come out top in the battle of the soaps at the Royal Television Society Awards. The ITV1 show beat off competition from Coronation Street and Holby City in the soap and continuing drama category.
BBC Three's The Mighty Boosh won best sitcom, with BBC Two quiz show QI, presented by Stephen Fry, winning the entertainment award.
Speaking after the awards, Noel Fielding, who plays Vince Noir in The Mighty Boosh, told BBC News: "It's taken about 10 years for people to get their heads around it, which we knew would happen, so it's a slow build. Its like building a watch, an elaborate sort of intricate watch, but we've done it now and they can tell the time."
Other comedy winners were duo David Mitchell and Robert Webb, who picked up the comedy performance award for Channel 4's Peep Show. Harry Hill picked up best entertainment performance for TV Burp, in which he pokes fun at the week's most bizarre TV clips. The judges described Hill as someone who had moved his ITV1 show "from the edge to the heart of the schedule".
BBC Two car show Top Gear won the features and lifestyle series award, with presenters James May and Richard Hammond picking up the award without frontman Jeremy Clarkson. "Actually Hammond and I were only here because we were told to be," said May.
Wildlife presenter Sir David Attenborough, meanwhile, picked up the lifetime achievement award.
Accepting his award in a pre-recorded video clip, Sir David said: "When I joined the BBC 56 years ago, there was only one professional television organisation in this country, I imagine in the world, and that of course was this one.
Can’t Hurry Love
It takes 22 dates, 3 one-night stands, and 3 relationships to find your perfect partner.
Couple revealed how long it had taken to find The One for entertainment website BT PodShow. Some were more choosey, needing a whopping 50 dates with potential partners. And 9% reckon it takes at least 10 one-night stands.
A lucky five Brits only need to go on 5 dates before they find their perfect partner.
Talking regularly and an active sex life were what people were looking for. Poor personal hygiene, no sense of humour and being rubbish in bed are the biggest turn-offs, the poll found.
The good news for those still searching are that this weekend is the best chance of the year to banish those single days. Tomorrow is the first day of Spring, there’s a full moon, and the Easter break will combine for a sexy opportunity for the country’s 3.2 million.
