And the BAFTAs go to...   (29.11.11)
  

  Wow. Did you hear that? - That was the sound of twelve months,
  spinning by in the blink of an eye because, would you believe it,
  ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the Children's BAFTA
  awards have been handed out already!

  Now, we could easily ramble on about the poor state of the industry
  here in the UK, and how we should probably be awarding prizes
  to any company that can get a production through the financing
  and development process and on to our screens right now.
  But instead, we'll move swiftly on to present our regular rundown

   Needless to say, the big media story has been Harley's win.
   And crikey o'riley, that's two more piggin' BAFTA prizes
   for the triumverate of Astley Baker Davies. How many
   have they got now?

   From an industry viewpoint, that double Gumball triumph raises
   the profile of Cartoon Network Europe quite considerably, doesn't
   it? Oh, and Big Congratulations with a capital "B" and "C" must
   also go to the ever-busy Brothers McLeod and - well - all the
   winners and nominees, in fact. It really is so darned tough out
   there right now... Eeek... Now we've strayed back on to that
   gloomy topic again, so we'll wrap things up. As always, you'll
   find a complete breakdown of the night's events, speeches
   and photos on the BAFTA web site...
