Too much gravy: Evans wins prizes

No wonder this morning's Today sounded a bit ragged: they'd have been out celebrating their Best Breakfast Show prize at last night's Sonys. If anyone can explain to me how you can effectively weigh up John Humphrys interviewing Tony Blair over decisions to invade Iraq against Chris Moyles "pretending" to be a "big black man", we'd love to know.

Chris Evans won a prize - the entertainment award - just like it was 1999, and as if he was entertaining. The now-defunct Mark Radcliffe show picked up best music programme; even John Peel managed to get a gong - although that was a venerable, Broadcaster's broadcaster type prize. Having said which, we doubt if Peel would have nominated himself for such a prize.

Colin Murray was garlanded as Music Broadcaster of the Year; Christian O'Connell (who is Colin Murray with adverts) won for best competition.
