And now for something completely ... identical - BBC shows Gilliam tribute twice

The BBC avoided further controversy last night by showing the Bafta Film Awards on delay and bleeping out the swearwords in Mickey Rourke's entertaining acceptance speech, even though it was well after the 9pm watershed. Changing times, fellas, changing times. The BBC did less well with its Bafta coverage later in the evening, however. While it is customary to include short clips of the less high profile winners at the end of the night, it was a poor show to run the credits over the top of them, including Nick Park, who got an award for his latest Wallace and Gromit adventure, A Matter of Loaf and Death, which aired on ... BBC1. We can only hope Park wasn't too offended. It was a rather clumsy end to the awards all round, with several clips of fellowship winner Terry Gilliam's films shown not once but twice - shome mishtake, surely - and some brutal editing of the former Python's acceptance speech. The BBC1 News, it would appear, waits for no man.
