Doctor Who wins National TV awards

Doctor Who takes three TV awards

Blimey. Didn't expect that. Doctor Who won all of the three awards it was up for in the National TV Awards. Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper won the most popular actor and actress and the show itself won most popular drama. Here's the full list of winners. My surprise is because these are populist awards, and somehow despite the ratings success I didn't assume that Doctor Who would appeal to the audience. But it did. Hooray! British TV viewing public I forgive you (well, some of you).
