Meanwhile, former X-FILES star Gillian Anderson lost out on the Best Actress award to BLEAK HOUSE co-star Anna Maxwell Martin, but celebrated when the BBC's CHARLES DICKENS TV adaptation was awarded Best Drama Serial.
Sharon Osbourne and Simon Cowell's talent show The X Factor swept away competition from FRIDAY NIGHT WITH Jonathan Ross to win Best Entertainment Programme.
The British version of hit TV show The Apprentice saw Sir Alan Sugar take home the Best Feature Award, while celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was honoured for his factual series JAMIE'S SCHOOL DINNERS, which saw him relentlessly campaign for nutritious children's food.
