I was fully expecting a corporate cringe-fest advertisement, but I actually found myself enjoying the jokes, despite being an American who didn't catch most of the British references. It's still just basically still a commercial, but at least it's a funny one (I suspect it's only because Moffat himself seemed to have written it).

Given this minisode’s remit is purely to introduce the 2011 National Television Awards, it’s astonishing how many great gags Moffat slips in, and how magnificent Matt Smith’s performance is. It’s actually a bit of a gem, lucky old Dermot O’Leary. It almost certainly benefits from the viewer having an understanding of early-2010s UK television. Check that off as the third Eastenders crossover, third interaction with Graham Norton, and Ant + Dec finally bowing to Doctor Who’s brilliance after years of being trounced I’m the ratings by him. Another peice of ephemera brought to my attention by tardis.guide! 15thDoctor View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating96 members 2.81 / 5 Trakt.tv AVG.
