Doctor Who, which has been showing on BBC One on Saturday nights, won the trophy for best programme of 2008.
There was also recognition for The Apprentice, as terrestrial show of the year, and comedy Gavin and Stacey, in the non-terrestrial category.
The winners were chosen by a panel of TV industry executives and journalists.
Main prize
It was the first time since 2002 that one broadcaster had swept the board, collecting all of the top prizes. And it was the second year in a row that both BBC One and Doctor Who won their respective categories.

Fantastic news!

Damn straight!

It's not the best BBC series, it's the programme of the year, on any channel.

 

[Cutter John]

Wait. There are OTHER shows on the BBC?

Huh.

Good to see the win two years running. Bodes well for the future, at least as far as keeping it running.

This BBC News article has a brief interview with Steven Moffat from the festival. He says that he would have no objection to a Doctor Who movie if it didn't interfere with the series, and reiterates RTD's statement that the casting of an older Doctor is unlikely for practical reasons.

Another blow for the "Moffat'll change/fix everything RTD did" people.

Good thing such people don't exist.

This comment is the mark of someone who has spent little or no time at Outpost Gallifrey.

...Lucky you.

Actually, I have spent some time there. I was just referring to this forum.

Ah. I wasn't familiar with the TrekBBS-centric view of the universe in which "don't exist" means "can't be found here."

It is nice how the worst sorts of fans don't seem to show up here, though- no hardline bashers, no companion warriors, no adolescent squee machines, no canon debate nuts: if you never went anywhere else, you could almost think fandom was relatively sane.

Well, it's not a TrekBBS-centric view (I'm fully aware how crazy many Whovians are), rather the brash comment being made here was meant for those here. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into things again. *shrug*
