A generally excellent list (certainly compared with some other years). I'm sure Charlie Brooker will not only be delighted at being nominated for Best Comedy Newcomer (Male), but also appreciate the irony of his competitors both being children.
Although she's a kid, I would still award little Ramona Best Comedy Newcomer (Female) - she's a natural comic actress, whatever her age.
Fingers crossed for Stewart Lee. Not only is he a better stand-up than the other two nominees, it would also be a sign of the BCAs actually acknowledging an important comedy talent.
Although I too am slightly puzzled with Dead Set being included as a comedy-drama (I'm also slightly puzzled by the other two nominees, to be honest), at least the category doesn't have any utter bollocks nominated in it this year.
