On a night of surprises, the biggest surprise of Sunday's Bafta TV awards was surely that Gavin & Stacey won the Sky+ Audience prize, the only gong voted for by members of the public, beating Britain's Got Talent, Strictly Come Dancing, Cranford, The Apprentice, and Andrew Marr's History of Modern Britain. So how did a show with the smallest audience of any of the nominees end up winning the most votes? Something to do with the dedication of its fanbase and a sign of just how much viewers love the show? Possibly. Or was it somehow influenced by a Facebook Gavin & Stacey fan page that urged its 50,000 members to vote for the show, posting them a link to the award website just in case they were too lazy to find it themselves? "YES GET IN!!!!!" writes "AdminAdamB" in the latest post on the site. "Gavin & Stacey did it! Thanks to all your fans out there!" and so on. Judge for yourself here - if you're signed up to Facebook, of course.
