David Tennant has been nominated for Best Actor at this year's Royal Television Awards for Doctor Who and Recovery. He is up against Andrew Garfield (Boy A) and Matthew MacFadyen (Secret Life). Garfield is best known to Doctor Who fans as Frank in Daleks In Manhattan/Evolution Of The Daleks.
Doctor Who has also been nominated against Skins and The Street as Best Drama Series, and The Sarah Jane Adventures is up against Desperadoes and My Life As A Popat in the Children's Drama category.
The awards will be presented on 19 March 2008.
Good luck David, Doctor Who and SJA!!

Oooh. I think David and SJA have both got a very good chance but I don't fancy our chances of beating The Street on Best Drama. Can't we split the award three ways with that and Skins? They all deserve it. We're living in a Golden Age of British Telly, I tells ya!

Ceribri I don't know any of the competition There're both strange beasts. Skins looked like it was an attempt to scandalise by doing a SHOCKING teensploitation (that should so be a word) hybrid of Hollyoaks and Shameless, but it took everyone by suprise by turning out to be a really sophisicated show that went beyond being either 'teen drama' or 'adult drama' and somehow ended up just being ' good drama'. The Street was the BBC's experiment in seeing what a British Soap Opera would look like if they hired all the most respected actors in the country and one of the most respected writers and then told self-contained stories. It's clearly genius, but I find it a bit heavy going myself. Best episode I've seen involved the various suicide attempts of a character played by Jim Broadbent. He's played the Doctor twice you know. smile
Once in Curse of Fatal Death and once in this Victoria Wood spoof...

Well, I say spoof, but as someone recently remarked on another board, it's so close to how 80s Who was at the time that you could have dropped the sketch into the middle of Trial of a Timelord and nobody would have noticed! xd If Season Three of Welsh Who was all as good as its first third and its last third then it'd be in with a chance, but I think that horrible Daleks in Manhattan to 42 mid-season slump is going to cost us the laurels here. Still, nice as prizes are, lets us take a minute to revel in the ratings and Appreciation figures... Doctor Who's the most popular drama on BBC1. Torchwood's the most popular drama on BBC2 and on BBC3. Sarah-Jane's the most popular drama in the history of CBBC. Team Who own telly. biggrin

The Awards are being dished out tonight...and another thing I've noticed is that Penelope Winton is up for Best Actress. For her role in Five Days though, rather than as Harriet Jones.
Another thought I've had is that even if (the excellent) Skins wins, Davies could almost count it as a win for him since it's so heavily influenced by the shows he was making back in the 'Red Productions' era! smile

Bad news, folks.
SJA lost out to My Life As A Popat, DW lost out to The Street, and David lost out to Matthew MacFadyen.

Meh. sad
The Street's such a safe choice. It's the telly equivalent of all those 'Oscar Bait' flicks. Welsh Who is already festooned with Industry prizes, I suppose, so I wish they'd been a little braver and given the award to Skins. It's another show that's done exactly what Doctor Who's done - escaped its niche and the expectations placed upon it, and in doing so produced drama that works for anyone with a soul and some eyeballs.
Didn't see Secret Life, since I fancy Matthew MacFadyen something rotten and wasn't up for the uncomfortable feelings that would be engendered by spending an evening watching him play a predatory ******. I'm such a wuss sometimes.

Richard_Swift Didn't see Secret Life, since I fancy Matthew MacFadyen something rotten and wasn't up for the uncomfortable feelings that would be engendered by spending an evening watching him play a predatory ******. I'm such a wuss sometimes. I did, and you didn't miss out on much, as far as I'm concerned. And as to watching someone you fancy playing a predatory ******, how d'ya think I felt when I was watching David Tennant in Secret Smile?! biggrin

David's accent gets on my nerves whenever he ends a word with "a", like "Eva". He's trying to sound more English than English people. Apart from that, he's ok (minus the repetitivity, if that is a real word.).

knightofthe21stcentury David's accent gets on my nerves whenever he ends a word with "a", like "Eva". I'm not sure what you mean here. I can only recall him ever ending such words with a schwa, which is the usual pronunciation. The post-vocalic 'r' would only be sounded in rhotic accents like Bristolian, Cornish or..um..Pirate. (Specificly the accent that David's doing for the Doctor is Estuary, and he's doing it near perfectly. smile )
