Congratulations - You deserve it! Well Done.
hey! That's good news. Well Done!
WOOHOO!!!!!!
Well done, Andrew! :-)
Hurrah and huzzah! Well done to you and Lee.
Is that Richard and Judy I can hear begging you to come back onto their show??
Nice work AC. 'Not Going Out' made me laugh out loud.
Bloody well done! Not long now until you have a spacial 'velvet rope' VIP Area for this blog.
Get you! Well done. You'll be the Dame Helen Mirren of south-west London.
Well done Andrew, and to Lee too.
Now with any luck they'll green light the second series forthwith.
Top banana.
Congratulations and good luck.
Well done Andrew. You and Lee (and cast) deserve it.
That's the best news I've heard today, well apart from hearing that Tim Vine is going to be on celebrity Fame Academy!! All together now, "I used to have a box..."

P.S. Wish Kirsty and I luck as we endeavour to win some cash on a TV game show this week.
Good luck, Paul and Kirsty, on whichever game show it is. (Not Richard & Judy, we may assume!) Oh, and I'm apparently allowed to say that Not Going Out has been commissioned for a second series. Seven episodes this time. Should air around the same time, October/November.
Congratulations, not bad for a £1.50 disaster eh. There's a neat conspiracy theory waiting re ITV's Mark Austin if you don't win so you can't really lose. Good luck.
I'm missing the "1.50 disaster" reference. I'm sure I'm being stupid, but you'll have to elucidate, Simon!

What's the Mark Austin Conspiracy Theory?
Listening to Gideon's show and the 6 Music news team have just announced that a 6 Music presenter has been nominated for a Royal Television Society Award.....Stephen Merchant!
No mention of your good self at all. I'd have a word if I were you. Merchant's only been at the station a couple of weeks - surely you can pull rank.
Thanks for the tip-off, Steve.
Nicole Jackson is the tv reviewer of the Observer and she wrote this:
"you cannot have a terrible script and terrible acting and no story. Well you can, but then you end with something like Not Going Out, a disastrous new six-part series that's calling itself a comedy but has forgotten the jokes."
It also "looks horrifically cheap" and has had "one pound fifty" spent per episode.
Simon's £1.50 comment was a reference to the above review, which is why I reproduced her comments.
Congratulations to Andrew and Lee, and I hope critical reviewers will now eat humble pie.
Thanks, Mike. Funnily enough, I had blanked her comments from my mind!
That was it. I should've said 9 pound disaster though (which could make a good episode title in the next series). The Austin conspiracy Gwen is no more than he being of ITV like one of the nominees (so Andrew can lose if the other non-ITV nominee wins although they're all winners). I also remember Andrew complaining about his patronising presenting style a while back but I'd better not mention that.
Thanks Simon
The politics and machinations of the TV world at their best I think.
Blast that Merchant.
