Last week was the award show for our 'unsung heroes' - if only. In theory this is brilliant: a night dedicated to thanking the amazing people who keep this country going. Unfortunately this seems to be fairly irrelevant to the actual event.
I feel slightly hypocritical not actually having watched the damn thing, but I don't believe it deserves the ratings personally. For a start the thought of Carol Vorderman forcing movement from that botoxed 'face' and speaking is frankly nauseating. I mean, who decided she would make a good presenter? The woman is infuriatingly irritating. And she's about as real as Anne Robinsons forehead.
What really makes me mad about the ceremony though, was nicely summed up by the way it was reported on Radio 1. They began by listing all the celebrities present (a fairly extensive and unimpressive list, but then I'm not a big A-Z list fan), went on to briefly mention one winner and closed on an interview with... Russell Bloody Brand. The guy that got famous for being a sex addict, that could be considered brilliant at acting if you dont mind him playing himself all the time, an obvious choice to talk to after a Pride of Britain award ceremony =/
I understand celebrity endorsement encourages viewers and makes the night a lot more glamorous, but does it really need to be so fake? The tiniest bit of media focus on some real people might make the thing worthwhile, but frankly I can't see that happening.
