Great decision, well done to Friend Of The Bar Gary Monaghan and the rest of the crew.
Wild Things is one of my fave shows of the year and features my favourite endgame of the year, which managed to be both very silly and incredibly tense. Here is our show discussion page on the first series, the show returns to Sky One in the new year.
Last year Pointless won, a show we got on board with quickly. This year Wild Things wins, a show we got on board with quickly. If I owned and didn’t rent I’d be remortgaging to put a bet on Tipping Point next year *taps nose*.
Also congratulations to The 3rd Degree (Pozzitive for Radio 4) which won best radio gameshow, but also one that I don’t know much about.
Not wishing to rain on its parade, but it should be noted that the whole concept of the Rose d’Or has been substantially degraded in the past few years. Once the event was a week-long festival with talks, seminars, presentations, media showings and a glamorous awards ceremony. After a disastrous decision to move its place in the calendar one year, it has never recovered and is now nothing more than a one-evening drinks party.
That all said, I think the right people won.
