Big Brother Shortlisted In TV Awards

It's October. It's that time of year again... time for Judie Finnigan to get her jugs out!

Of course, we're referring to the National Television Awards where in 2000, the buxom chat show host's halter-neck dress famously slipped-down as she accepted an Award for Richard and Judy.

Still, hoping that someone will embarrass themselves isn't the only reason to watch, as the Awards offer you the viewers the chance to vote for your favourite TV shows. And that includes Big Brother.

Big Brother is one of the shortlisted nominees this year, however for some reason, it is in the category of Most Popular Factual Programme. Hmm... isn't Big Brother merely an Entertainment programme through and through?

To be honest, it should be in the category of Most Popular Entertainment Programme and go head-to-head with the likes of Pop Idol. However, according to the NTA organisers, Channel 4 were given the choice of which section to put BB in.

To us, this rather smacks of Channel 4 placing Big Brother in a category which contains the least competition. However, when challenged on this point, they neglected to comment.

So, for that reason, as much as we love Big Brother and remember how we were addicted for 9 weeks during the summer, we won't be voting for it. It's simply not fair competition.

We will, however, be voting for our Most Popular Entertainment Presenter (see, Entertainment, bit of hint there C4?), the one and only Davina McCall.

The National Television Awards take place at the Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday 15th October and are transmitted on both ITV1 and ITV2.
