Will it be the star, the dame, the girl next door or the ingénue? Only one of them can win. We join the jury in their deliberations for the Television Awards, at the headquarters of the Royal Academy of Motion Picture Arts.

Inside No 9 series 4 episode 5 review
And The Winner Is ... is simply a good joke, simply told. Yes, there are darker episodes. Yes, there are ones that are more obviously fiendishly clever. But this may well be the one you keep returning to, re-watching for the sheer hell of it. 'Can't wait to see what you do next,' says Woolgar's reviewer at one point.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 31st January 2018A panel of judges meet to decide an acting award. Whom will they choose? This latest instalment of the anthology series is a gloriously acerbic take on showbiz folk, notably during the discussion over whether a handjob given "in the car park of the Dirty Duck in 1976" could really cloud the critical faculties.
Jonathan Wright, The Guardian, 30th January 2018Inside No 9 review: a sly skewering of the TV industry
Screen stories about juries often thrive on tension and suspense. But Inside No 9's latest episode shuns nail-biting matters of life and death in favour of a more shallow enterprise.
Mark Butler, i Newspaper, 30th January 2018Inside No 9 review: rare weak point in fantastic series
As mentioned, Inside No 9 is an anthology series which means that we should expect the odd miss to go with every hit. And the Winner Is... was more of a misjudgement than a series-ending catastrophe.
Benji Wilson, The Telegraph, 30th January 2018Inside No. 9: Series 4, Episode 5 - And the Winner Is...
While it was well acted, it lacked something that makes the episode truly stand out. It is a good episode in its own right, but among the rest of the brilliant Series 4 it felt a bit down.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 30th January 2018Inside No. 9 series 4 episode 5 review
Inside No. 9 does well-observed industry satire in its latest episode.
