	OFF THE TELLY: Comedy/Fist of Fun
		Award ceremonies never successfully translate onto TV without some factor conspiring wholly to refocus attention away from "the real reason we're here tonight" and onto a choice selection of supporting distractions.
		The role of the awards' anchor is a perilous one.
		The ceremony is an intriguing document of British TV comedy caught in transition - Marti Caine, Hannah Gordon, Eddie Izzard and Reeves and Mortimer all parade across the stage within minutes of each other.

	Groundhog Day (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Groundhog Day is a 1993 comedy film and box office hit starring Bill Murray as Phil Connors, an egocentric Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania TV weatherman who, dreading his hated annual assignment covering Groundhog Day (February 2) in Punxsutawney, finds himself repeating the day over and over.
		Originally noted as an uplifting romantic comedy by critics, it has since entrenched itself as one of the great American films of the late 20th Century: The film is number thirty-four on the American Film Institute's list of 100 Funniest Movies, and Roger Ebert has revisited it in his "Great Movies" series.
		British comedy quiz show Shooting Stars once contained the question "Who was the star of Groundhog Day?", to which the contestant replied "Bill Murray".

	British Comedy Awards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British Comedy Awards is an annual awards ceremony in the United Kingdom celebrating notable comedians and entertainment performances of the previous year.
		The awards began in 1990, and are usually shown live on ITV1 (a result of which being the over-run and subsequent cut-off of the 2005 and 2006 Outstanding Achievement Award winners' speeches).
		Past ceremonies have seen the host's in-podium autocue monitor ripped out by award-winner Michael Barrymore, and award-presenter Julian Clary joke that he'd "just been fisting Norman Lamont" (the joke caused great controversy and nearly ended Clary's career).

	British Book Awards
		The first British Book Awards (known throughout the book trade as "the Nibbies") were presented on the night of 18 January 1990, the start of an eventful decade for the book world, which would see the end of the restriction on discounting of books and the arrival of multimedia.
		The British Book Awards 2003 once more saw the Nibbies acknowledged as the foremost book event in the UK publishing calendar, for while other book awards are seen as elitist, the Nibbies is viewed as representing what actually happens with book sales and popularity on the streets (and on the internet!).
		The Life Achievement Award went to Sir John Mortimer, presented by his actress daughter Emily, it was always going to be “emotional” tears in the champagne on the Mortimer family table.

	Eddie Izzard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		An enormously popular British comedian known as much for his transvestitism as he is for his excoriating social observations, Eddie Izzard is one of the most gleefully unpredictable -- to say nothing of contradictory -- performers to have sabotaged the stage and screen during the late 20th century.
		Following his mother's death when he was six, Izzard found some degree of solace in comedy, particularly the works of Monty Python, Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, and the early Benny Hill.
		His stand-up work brought him British Comedy Awards in 1993 and 1996, and with popular and critical approval thus in hand, Izzard began appearing in films.

		After the antics of Julian Clary, Michael Barrymore and Ricky Gervais in previous years, the organisers of next month's British Comedy Awards are turning to Michael Moore to inject a little controversy into this year's event.
