January 28th, 2011 - 1:47pmThw 2010 series, it is fair to say, did’nt appeal to appeal to a wider audiance than previous, although equally judging by the results of many of the other catorgories,chav TV is popular moreseo than ever.Waterloo Road (and not insulting anyone who watches it by the way) is the least interesting witty and clever of the four programmes that where nominated and it was a night(overall, Brucie, Top Gear and one or two other’s aside), for the ‘mediocre’ to be celebrated.

January 28th, 2011 - 6:49amI expected Dr Who to win but sadly Waterloo Road won. How on earth could they win against Dr Who?

January 27th, 2011 - 6:28pmSorry, but Waterloo Road is terrible. How they portray the teens… Too many episodes… Yuck.
Oh, and the opening was so awesome. Er, when’s Corination Street on, since I now have to watch it because it’s suddenly become part of the Whoniverse…

January 27th, 2011 - 5:46pmI loved the beggining, and I think Dermot O’Leary should become a full time companion!
I am very surprised that Sherlock & Doctor Who didn’t win anything. But I do have to say that I’m glad Waterloo Road won something, (I’m a viewer of the show)As they never win anything.

January 27th, 2011 - 3:08pmI love the new Doctor and I’m sorry he didn’t win anything. Don’t be down matt we still love you! Sherlock was amazing too though, i hope they make another series soon. I do agree that they need to give Rory the boot, he doesn’t do anything except stand around like a lemon and prevent the spark from happening between the doctor and the companion. The new series looks good that. Matt smith as a coyboy. mmmm!

January 27th, 2011 - 12:43pmNo disrespect o anyone, but you really can’t just put it down to a split vote – the last series was very popular with hardcore Who and SF fans but it alienated a lot of regular viewers. Hence last night’s result, hence why awful Amy Pond finished low in the RT’s companion poll and hence the fallen ratings. And yes, yes, “overnights no longer count”, though it’s funny how no-one mentioned that when quite a lot of people tuned in to watch Sherlock a few weeks later.
The 8th Doctor
January 27th, 2011 - 11:57amThis was really difficult having both shows in the same category up against each other as i like them both equally but i expected one or the other to win
Shame for Moffat
January 27th, 2011 - 11:53amThere were some weaker eps such as the silurian two parter but these were more than made up for by stronger stories at the start and end of the season. Different people have different tastes and I adore Amy. Rory hasnt really had chance to be anything but a plot device yet.
If it was about quality then the fact that the media adored Sherlock should have meant that it, not Dr Who, would have won if Dr Who had truly been that poor. The fact is that the fans of Dr Who and the fans of Sherlock are likely the same so sadly two good shows shared those votes and that meant an unlikely show that would have appealed to a totally different viewership got to win. Lets not shoehorn personal gripes into being proven reasons it didnt win. Its all about the stats

January 27th, 2011 - 11:33amTo Andrew Hall, I completely agree with you. I’m glad that Dr Who hasn’t won anything. It doesn’t deserve to win. The whole series so far has been awful to say the least and although Matt Smith is good as you say Amy and Rory are really annoying. I think if they just got rid of those two there would be a vast improvement! Sorry to all the fans of this series, just my opinion.
Shame for Moffat
January 27th, 2011 - 10:16amIt was simply a case that you had the same pool of voters split between 2 Moffat shows. Either on their own would have won but together it divided the total votes and caused a non hoper like Waterloo Road to win. It had nothing to do with the season and I find the knocks on it tiresome and groundlessly elitist

January 27th, 2011 - 1:19amWaterloo Road? WTF? have vaguely heard of it… As for Dr Who lets hope this years stories are a little better than 2010?
Andrew Hall
January 26th, 2011 - 11:36pmCant come as a surprise. The latest series was not the best. Although that seems im in a minority of fans that think that. Although Matt is good, im afraid Amy and Rory are really annoying. I just dont get them! Maybe thats what turned the voting public off or the fact that Moffett screwed too much up in 1 season – new horrible theme tune, new TARDIS, new screamy shouty companion, new poor daleks and terrible season finale. The public are not daft and neither are some of us fans.

January 26th, 2011 - 9:54pmSeems the most likely explanation i really thought it would be Sherlock or Doctor Who
Ian
January 26th, 2011 - 9:46pmSadly the vote got split on both between Dr Who and Sherlock which kinda cancelled them both out and let a third option sneak in and take them. Shame for Moffatt and the BBC
