Once again, Doctor Who has been named as the top show of 2008. The highest profile industry event on the British calendar is of course the Edinburgh International Television Festival.
It was at that event that the series won Best Programme of 2008, for the second year running.
And of course, the award adds to the ridiculous tally of trophies that Doctor Who has received since 2005.
I
doubt whether anyone outside of BBC Wales is keeping a tally, but on an
average of 12 a year (which includes the rather vulgar ceremonies of
rags like TV Quick) we reckon Doctor Who has chocked up between 45 and
50 awards for acting, writing and various aspects of production as well
as being the nation's most loved show.
That's a pretty good comeback, but also testament to how the show is part of the British cultural fabric.
