Event prevew: The British Comedy Awards
It's that time again. Jonathan Ross, clad all in look-at-me threads and self-satisfaction, will take to the stage for some expensively scripted celebrity "banter", a little chummy backslapping with the usual suspects and the handing over of the British Comedy Awards.
