And The Winner Is...
We picked up two awards at the big bash in London tonight. Give Me A Voice won silver in the 'Community' category and Edi Stark emerged with a bronze the the five-way tussle for best 'Speech Broadcaster'.
The judges had great things to say about both entries and you can read those together with a list of all the other winners.
So a good night, lots of famous names and voices around in the Great Room of the Grosvenor House hotel. There was a moment when I became convinced we were being stalked by Jason Donovan. Have a look at the figure lurking in the background of these two photograps of our Inverness trio.
My favourite moment was when Tony Benn appeared on stage with a few questions for broadcasters. What, he wondered aloud, is the difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter? What is an insurgency? Who exactly is the 'international community'?
Least favourite moment was when Chris Moyles ruined a perfectly sweet situation. He'd won the breakfast show award and the organisers had secretly arranged for his parents to appear on stage and give him his gong. His Mum read out a lovely tribute and explained how much she loved her son. Awww.
But then Chris launched into a foul-mouthed rant about the event itself and some of the other nominees in his category. All this in front of his parents!
You're never too old for a spanking, was my thought.
