I didn't actually watch the ceremony, but seen a clip on the lunch time news, why do people , usually comedians have to be " in character " when accepting an award? Yes we know what your tag line is I don't need to see it every time you appear on anything. Does it sound stupid to you too?

I don't usually watch award ceremonies but I caught the bit with Ruth Jones. She is an excellent actress and deserves her success.

I've only just watched Ruth's speech.

Cracking!!

Ruth Jones can do no wrong in my eyes. I love Gavin and Stacey but Stella is better.

I’d watch just for Ruth Jo es and whatever she had to say. “Being Nessa” for a moment or two was entirely appropriate. 😊

I don't watch these pathetic award shows sorry.

No need to apologise or comment, just avoid the thread!

I have never thought anyone would be interested if I didn’t watch a tv programme

Galaxy Tue 13-May-25 20:29:34

I have never watched strictly or the antiques roadshow if anyone us interestedgrin.
I love the character of Nessa, I think the show itself was such a breath of fresh air - portraying 'ordinary people' which doesn't happen much anymore.

Love Ruth Jones and Gavin and Stacey
I remember resting that Caroline Aherne took years to convince the BBC to put a working class family in a sitcom on TV

Galaxy Tue 13-May-25 20:41:30

Yes I didn't use the word working class but that is what I meant! And no 'issues' that weren't natural to the characters, no preaching, it was just a joy.

JaneJudge Tue 13-May-25 20:45:17

You aren’t ordinary though galaxy, you are not as ordinary as ordinary people 😉

Galaxy Tue 13-May-25 20:49:29

I don't know if that's a compliment or an insultgrin

JaneJudge Tue 13-May-25 20:54:43

It is neither 😂

If you don’t watch them, how do you know they’re pathetic? It makes me so cross when people bother to point out that they don’t watch some thing but still think they are entitled to be rude about them.

Loved it.

It was very very appropriate. She is a brilliant actor and writer.

I think so too.

Gosh! She was in character for a minute’ and seeing she got the award for Ness, it was appropriate

Agree completely! I have just watched the clip and found it very moving……..what an absolutely lovely lady…….and a cracking actor!

Instead of watching these pathetic award shows, I expect Mojack26 makes herself an omelette. Or maybe orders a takeaway - chicken bhuna, lamb bhuna......gringrin
