BBC NEWS | Entertainment | TV and Radio | Gervais completes Bafta hat-trick Bafta is now gaining a reputation for red carpets that foam in the rain - the "wet carpet" gained almost as much attention as the stars at Bafta's 2002 film awards. Ricky Gervais has created one of the most original tv comedy shows ever with "the office" and it is great to see him and them winning awards for it and can't wait to see what he does next. The BAFTAs is merely the entertainment industry telling us how wonderful they all really are, revelling in their celebrity status whilst actually doing very little and televising it to save them the bother of having to dream up some real entertainment to fill this particular spot in the schedules. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/3636103.stm   (1768 words)

Soaps win Bafta TV drama awards It is the first time that the academy has ever given the award to a soap and will convince many critics that the TV industry is indeed "dumbing down".
