“I managed to slip into the National TV Awards at the O2 pretty much unnoticed, and then found that I was sitting at the end of the Merlin row, so got far too much screen time, grinning and saying hello to various other loveys. Dermot O’Leary is just fantastic isn’t he? Consummate really, or rather Consummate O’Leary ! I was surprised Merlin didn’t win, with the fantastic competition we were up against, but I do wish Colin would get nominated for his work. He is one of the best around, and I think will be seen as such when he gets the chance to spread his wings.” — Nathaniel Parker (via)
