I know, I know......gold is worth much, much more than silver. Joe has already established that. However, the gold winners, albeit delightful and deserving, were the token novelty win of the night and who can r e a l l y tell the difference between silver and platinum anyway?

Here is the presentation speech, anyhoo.

I hope my shoutout didn't jinx the whole affair. 

I must say RadioToday Live did a grand job of webstreamig from the evening, even though my broadband dropped out half way through so I didn't get much more of the show. Thanks must go to Claire Slevin (Producer of the ludicrously overlooked Shaun W Keaveny show erstwhile producer of Adam and Joe's shoe + Buckles bicycle safety officer) who tweeted with the news as I was out socialising. Deal with it.

It's James Gooding's suggestion of Axel F by Harrolf Faltermeyer today.

This is the start of Joe's insecurity about the singing form of intro as he nervously fiddles with the tip of his torpedo. Adam holds his hand and gently reasons with him.

Adam and Joe have been nominated for a couple of Sony's again. The winners are announced tonight from Grosvenor House. You can listen to the commentary here.

There's a sort of calendar here.

Happily, our closely guarded secret still seems to be intact but we'll probably need to be a little more vigilant over the next few months, what with BUG TV airing and Ant-man probably going into production.

Ann's contestant was clueless, Woggles' watchers were witless and last week, Bradley's bunch were boobies. They're ours for a while longer. The tea-time telly watchers many not have them.

In The Chase (still available till the end of the month) neither the contestants nor the erm, 'Chaser' could identify Joe as the BBC 6Music DJ who directed Attack the Block. Hurrah! Idiotholes Rule!

This time last year, the podcast began with Lynne Patience & Steve Jefferies' haunting rendition of The Doctor Who Theme. This still sends a chill through me.

(wonky credit also to Ron Grainer and Delia Derbyshire at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop)

Of course, Adam and Joe have done the Doctor Who theme before. Which is best. You decide.

Sadly, Bob and Karen from Sheffield have yet to produce their own show.

It certainly is Adam's turn to be busy again, not that he ever seems to rest.

As we eagerly await scheduling news for BUG TV, Adam has penned the jingle for this ad - on air from tomorrow.

"Friends - alala poopoo lala"

......and we wouldn't want them any other way.

This time last year, our favourite idiotholes 'sang' the theme to Dallas but the link is consumed by Joe's concern about that small portion (one person) of the fun-loving community getting the impression that there is some underlying juevenille element to these intros.

What begins with a lovely, reciprocal collaboration descends into a little bit of gleeful intro-sparring -  from a suggestion by Matt in Camden.

There's a fond mention of Prue in here too and yes, Fruity, Roobarb and Custard featured in October 2009.

Tonight's the night that Sam and Simon celebrate two years of Picturehouses Podcasting at The RItzy.

It's true to say this is a somewhat hasty mention but Radcliffe & Maconie gave them a tiny shoutout today.

You can send your own good wishes via twitter Sam & Simon or go down to The Ritzy .

 

EDITED TO ADD:

Not apposite to the general blog enough to make a new post but these young men put on an amazing evening for us, cruelly curtailed by inappropriate fire alarm usage.  Though poorly filmed (intended only as a tiny aide memoire for me, in fact) you can see some small level of the fun that was had and that was before the film.

The evening ended thusly:

.......it actually ended with me finally departing, crest fallen and feelind desperately sad for Sam and Simon.....then getting home to a welcoming botttle o'sutin.

 

Make the most of these because they'll soon run out.

This time last year, the podcast began with the News At Ten theme.

Louis Theroux was promoting his latest telly project on The One Show last night.

Chris Evans' team managed to cleverly hang this clip on the preceding article about Beryl and Betty who are nominated for a Sony Radio Academy Award in one of the same categories as Adam and Joe's show.

The rest of that Deee-Liteful clip is on Adam's channel here.

You can watch LOUIS THEROUX's - EXTREME LOVE - Autism on Thursday, 19th April 2012 at 9pm on BBC2.

The Radio Academy Awards will be announced at Grosvenor House on 14th May 2012.

For some reason, that episode of The One Show is not available on the iPlayer at the moment.
