Post Children's BAFTA
Tue, Dec 1st 2009, 15:08
Another BAFTA night and sadly no golden face statue to bring home, but like a cup of steaming hot mulled wine, we're not bitter! In fact we had a splendid evening hobnobbing with colleagues, introducing ourselves to some new folks and even gathering the courage to introduce ourselves to Richard 'the hamster' Hammond and the delightful Catherine Tate.
There were a few celebrities present including a couple of Harry Potter actors... Lucius Malfoy (hello to Jason Isaacs), and Mrs Harry Potter (aka Ginny Weasley aka Bonnie Wright). But best celebrity of the evening has to go to Bernard Cribbins who was there to receive a lifetime achievement award. He was certainly a feature of our own childhoods - Greg used to listen to an audiobook of Swallows and Amazons which he read, and one of my favourite audio stories was Bertie's Escapade in the Marshall Cavendish Storyteller series. Both tapes died from being listened to too much.
Congratulations for the evening must go to Philip Hunt and Sue Goffe at studio aka for winning for Lost and Found. It's an amazing piece of work and they are deserved winners in the animation category. Congratulations!
