Pile of shite, bunch of self congratulatory self obsessed luvvies all falling over themselves to say how great they all are - all bollocks. Missus was watching it and I suffered in silence reading Public Enemies, the book that inspired the film - a rather good read.
Disappointing. It used to be much more fun to watch and have a few rock and roll moments here and there.

Peter Kay seemed a bit uncomfortable, did he come across alright on the box?

Peter Kay's linking gags were quality. I laughed out loud with his quip about Lady Gaga winning every Brit possible AND coming close to a 4th award in 'Best International Male' - she was barely off the stage when he said it!
I saw a bit of the Robbie Williams performance which seemingly summed up exactly why he should NOT have been given any kind of outstanding contribution to music award.
I didn't watch it, the thought of watching the completely outdated and not funny in the first place Peter Kay present the thing was enough to put me off.

Whenever I watch Robbie I think your songs are good but your voice is pretty ordinary. He's not a patch on proper vocalists like Rod Stewart, George Michael or Tom Jones.

I was in the Darts fan club. In fact, I probably still am, since it was supposed to be life membership!
My first gig was aged 10 or 11 - Darts at Eastbourne, supported by Screen Idols (fronted by Michelle from 'ackney, who I think is/was thingy from Eastenders). I was with my mum and dad, who bought the programme - and in your biog you bigged up the Albion. I'm not going to forget that, am I?
BTW here we all are, hiding behind screen names, and you're using the stage name you had 35 years ago ...

It was alright, Peter Kay was the best thing about it though. On tele the consent muting of the sound was very irritating why not just show it after 9. Jay-Z and Alicia Keys best performance, Robbie Williams did what he does and entertained, Cheryl Cole needs to learn how to mime and the people who give out the international awards need to listen to some other music.

Wow a genuine fan how brilliant. There are a few old time NSCErs who know who I am (was?) but I'm impressed that you rumbled me. It might interest you to know that we still play gigs from time to time (all original band members) and we're playing the 100 club in June if you're interested

It's probably fair to say that my musical taste has changed in the past 32 years, but nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia.
100 Club is a a good venue - have seen a couple of bands there (not the Pistols in '76, though about 10,000 people claim to have been there, of course).
There's nothing on the 100 Club website yet about it, btw.
What is it you do now in the biz? If you'd rather not post this on open forum, then PM (or decline to reply, of course).

thought the whole show was dire tbh.
Quickly became apparent that everyone who sang (mimed?) on stage was being paid in kind with a little figurine thinggy and at that early juncture what little interest there was in speculating who might win went out of the window
only bright spots were PeterK, JayZ & Alicia Keys

The same Peter Kay voted the number one comedian in Britain? Despite only ever performing two tours? Outdated? Despite making hilarious jokes about every MODERN act that appeared on stage?

Clearly voted for by idiots who think stand up comedy begins and ends with comedians who appear on either Jonathan Ross chat shows or the Chris Moyles radio show.
Nothing Kay said was particularly funny, most of it was his standard comedy fare of ohhh look lets compare something to a dated 80s reference, Su Pollard, Bucks Fizz, Shakin fuckin Stevens, f*** off. Kay yet again proved that he's a one trick pony who reverts back to that trick when his crutch of stealing gags off of non televised comedians is removed. f*** you Kay you unfunny nothern twat.

Northern twat? I don't even know why I begin arguing in favor of northerners as the hidden agenda is always the above statement. Kay isn't exactly a televised comedian either is he? he appears on J. Ross every two years and does the occasional project every few years like Phoenix nights, Max and Paddy and that X factor spoof.
Televised would be Jimmy Carr who is hideously UN-funny.

I'm a northerner born in Rochdale so try again with that one sunshine.
He is a televised comedian, Phoenix Nights, That Peter Kay Thing, his hideously unfunny X Factor "parody" numerous adverts and chat show apperances when he's got his latest rehased DVD to peddle mean he's clocked up a lot of tv and idiots think he's funny. The reason he never tours is because the public would realise he's a one trick pony and now he's too famous to sit at the back of badly lit comedy clubs with his note book stealing other comedians material, he's lost his route to new "material".
He's not funny, he got lucky with his first DVD proving popular and Phoenix Nights being a hit and he's milking that for all he can. Don't bother going to his "tour" just stick on one of his old DVDs and you'll save yourself the ticket money cause it won't be any different.

Kay really is the idiot's comedian of choice. I have never seen someone so shamelessly exploit his fans (with regard to his DVD releases).

Kay is touring again now....
he has had two stand up DVD's - the poor thing is the fact that the second of those has been re-released in various different packages, while Kay was taking a break due to having kids and writing his book.
i dont like his tv progs much but his stand up is good and i look forward to his new tour. If that makes me an idiot then fine!
as for last nights show, well it lacked any decent rock music, but was good otherwise, Williams and Gaga are proper performers even if you dont like the tunes.
