of an audience that (to this telly viewer anyway) appeared to have undergone a mass sense of humour bypass before being allowed in. I have been with a couple of people who were there, this evening. They felt the presenters were patronising and more concerned about themselves. The regulars had suffered Frank Skinner's "beard jokes" before when he had last presented an award. Recycling cliches is not really funny whoever does it. What was Tamsin Greig on? Joanna Trollope managed to mention her book. Simon Mayo has it right in his blog.
