He split opinion down the middle but, to our minds, Count Arthur Strong was the comedy hero of the year. So it's good to see the BBC Two sitcom and its star, Steve Delaney, up for three awards in the Comedy Awards. One of those is best new comedy programme, the winner of which is announced live in tonight's programme, ahead of next week's awards proper. Count Arthur is up against Plebs, Psychobitches and Cuckoo. Jonathan Ross is on hand for gong duties and to give a rundown of the other 14 prizes on offer. Familiar names abound, including Ant & Dec, Graham Norton, Miranda Hart and David Mitchell, plus there's welcome recognition for the genius of Getting On.

Mark Sweney, The Guardian, 13th December 2012British comedy awards: worthy winners?

Bruce Dessau, The Guardian, 13th December 2012British Comedy Awards 2012 reaction
I have a deep attachment to The British Comedy Awards (hereafter the BCAs), mainly because they're the only awards ceremony I've seen every edition of.
