NTA 2011 Nominations Round 2

So the people have voted (including myself) and here are the final nominations for the 2011 National TV Awards! 

Children In Need 2010

So Children In Need is over for another year and we're going to take a look at the Best Bits from the night.

I have to say first of all congratulations on raising over £18million on the night! Amazing stuff! You can still donate by calling 03457 22 33 22! 

Let's discuss this for a moment. I previously mentioned they were crossing over. But I never dreamed it would be this good! So many fantastic things happened! Standout scenes for me were Kat and Liz in the Queen Vic and Ellien and Zainab with the Tram comment and Gail and Dawn in the cafe comparing their murderous husbands! What a crease! This was sheer genius and should be made an annual thing with all the soaps. Fantastic stuff.

The newsreaders performance is something to look forward to every year. And this year they went GaGa with a little help from Louie Spence. They are great! I really loved it this year. Well done!

Strictly took part in this years telethon pitting The Saturdays Rochelle Wiseman against McFly's Harry Judd! Both were very good with only having less than 10 hours training. 










Loose Women took to the stage to sing "The Promise" by Girls Aloud. They did a really good job! Not bad singers... most of them anyway! 







And finally. A preview for Dr Who's Christmas special.


Looks good don't it?


So those were my favourite bits from this years Children In Need. What did you make of the event? Did you donate? 

Series 6 of Dr Who will be Split in 2

It was announced today at the Edinburgh TV Festival by showrunner Steven Moffat, that the 6th series of Dr Who which stars Matt Smith and Karen Gillian will be split into two halves!

The first part of the new series will return in Spring like it usually does and it will end early with a huge cliffhanger apparently. The second part will air in the Autumn. 


A statement from the BBC said:
"The split transmission is the result of a request from Steven Moffat to write a new Doctor Who story arc which involves a big plot twist in the middle of the series. By splitting the series Moffat plans to give viewers one of the most exciting Doctor Who cliffhangers and plot twists ever, leaving them waiting, on the edge of their seats, until the autumn to find out what happens."


Dr Who will also be returning for it's usual Christmas Day episode so don't forget to watch that!
