The awards were shown live onITV in December from 1990 to 2006, after which the broadcast of theBritish Comedy Awards 2007 was suspended by ITV due to allegations of irregularities and deception in the awarding of the2005 People's Choice Award and then ongoing related investigations about the2007 British premium-rate phone-in scandal resulting inOfcom's subsequently fining ITV a record£5.675 million for its misuse of premium-rate telephone lines.[1][2]

AfterMichael Parkinson presented the inaugural ceremony at theLondon Palladium in December 1990, the majority of subsequent shows were presented byJonathan Ross, staged atLondon Studios, and produced byMichael Hurll Television (MHTV), whose parent company is Unique Communications Group.[1][3][4][5] Ross did not present the 2008 awards, in light ofThe Russell Brand Show prank calls[6] and was replaced for that year byAngus Deayton.[7]

The 2007 show occurred on 6 December 2007, but was not televised due to the 2005 controversy and subsequent investigations.[citation needed] The following years ceremony was shown live on 6 December 2008.[3] Compliance for the show was the responsibility of the ITV Compliance Unit of ITV Network Limited (consisting of members fromITV plc,STV Group,UTV Media, andChannel Television Ltd).[8][9][10]

In June 2010, it was announced that awards were to be broadcast onChannel 4 for three years, which was later extended for one more year. Shortly afterwards, the 2010 ceremony was postponed until it finally aired in January 2011. In June 2015 Channel 4 announced they would be dropping the ceremony.[11]

National Comedy Awards (2022–)

edit

In August 2020,Channel 4 announced the launch of the National Comedy Awards, a new annual awards ceremony event with multiple categories all decided by a public vote. Produced in collaboration withHungry Bear Media, the awards ceremony is linked to Channel 4'sStand Up to Cancer charity drive, with comedy fans being encouraged to donate in order to help accelerate life-saving research.[21] Phil Harris, Channel 4's head of entertainment, said: "This is an award show for our times. Fans will be able to vote on the people, some established and others less so, who really make them laugh. We will be celebrating some incredible comedy talent while supporting the incredible Stand Up to Cancer. It promises to be a very special night of TV."[22]

Aiming to celebrate "the UK's most brilliant comedy content and creators", the first ceremony was due to be held in the spring of 2021 but was postponed due to theCOVID-19 pandemic,[23] with the new date of on 15 December 2021 being set by Hungry Bear Media and Channel 4. The first ceremony was due to be held at theRoundhouse in London, with Channel 4 due to broadcast the event two days later as part of their Friday night comedy line-up. Due to the ongoing pandemic and concerns over theOmicron variant, the show was cancelled by the organisers a week before it was due to be staged[24] and Channel 4 said that it would be rescheduled for another time.[24][25]

The ceremony was finally held on 2 March 2022[26] and broadcast on Channel 4 three days later.[27] The ceremony was hosted by comedianTom Allen, with presenters includingMatt Lucas,Jessica Hynes,Al Murray andMeera Syal. It included a tribute toSean Lock.[28]

Controversies

Investigation of alleged irregularities and deception

edit

At the 2005 ceremony, the wrong show received the People's Choice Award.[29] The award was "mistakenly given" toAnt & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway even thoughThe Catherine Tate Show received the most tabulated votes and should have been declared the winner, andAnt & Dec were asked to return their 2005 award.[14]

Charged by the awards show with investigating the allegations of irregularities, the independent law firmOlswang summarized its findings as follows: "Robbie Williams was invited to present an award. It was understood that he would be happy [to do so] if the recipients wereAnt McPartlin andDeclan Donnelly. In order to ensure his attendance, this assurance was given. But it could not bedefinitively established that Williams' involvement led to the wrong winner being announced" [italics added].[14]

Saturday Night Takeaway did, however, receive the People's Choice Award at theBritish Comedy Awards 2006.[15]

Phone-in scandal

edit

Beginning on 26 July 2007, Britishtabloid newspapers reported the alleged involvement of the British Comedy Awards in the2007 British television phone-in scandal. ITV announced that they postponed theBritish Comedy Awards 2007 due to the voting irregularities. In a statement, the company said: "Pending conclusion of the investigation, broadcast of theBritish Comedy Awards 2007 will be postponed. ... ITV will not make any further comment regarding this matter until the conclusion of the investigation."[30][31]

It was announced on 21 September 2007 that theBritish Comedy Awards 2007 would not be screened by ITV1; however, it was not confirmed then that the Awards would still take place in December, and it was not ruled out that they could be screened by another channel.[31] The 2007 awards did take place on 5 December 2007, but that show was not televised. In early May 2008Ofcom announced its fining and sanctioningITV plc in a press release.[2]

On 15 August 2008, it was announced that a similar scandal could have been committed in the award ceremony at the2004 Awards.[32]

Following theRussell Brand Show prank calls row and his 12-week unpaid suspension from all of hisBBC shows,Jonathan Ross resigned from presenting the 2008 awards, in agreement withITV, as he did not want to "take away from the awards themselves or the many talented winners of the awards."Angus Deayton replacedJonathan Ross as the host of the British Comedy Awards.[6] Ross returned to presenting the awards in 2009.
