00:00And the BAFTA goes to...
00:04Steve Coogan.
00:06I haven't prepared a speech because I thought,
00:08well, if I don't win, at least I haven't written a speech.
00:11But, and also I'm dying for the loose.
00:13I'll be able to go now. It's great.
00:16I really wasn't expecting this, but, you know,
00:20it was said earlier that, you know,
00:23doing comedy in times like this,
00:25you know, in these troubled times is so important.
00:28And it's a privilege to be able to make people laugh
00:31after all these years and people still appreciate it.
00:35I'm not going to be very funny because, as I say,
00:37I haven't written anything.
00:38My comedy writers haven't written anything for me funny to say.
00:42LAUGHTER
00:42But I need to thank Sam Monteith and John Petrie for his support.
00:53And Anna Stockton, who's over there, my first-while assistant.
00:56But most of all, apart from Rupert Magende and everyone at Baby Cow,
01:01who do a fantastic job,
01:04I have to thank the people who didn't get an award tonight.
01:07I was hoping it would, but no disrespect to the winners.
01:12It's Joe Fraser, who produced Partridge
01:15and keeps the train on the tracks.
01:17But most of all, Robin Neil Gibbons, who, when I met them 15 years ago,
01:22breathed new life into the character
01:23and the material's better than ever, and I'll keep doing it.
01:27And if anyone wants to know when Alan Partridge is going to die,
01:30it's probably about the same time as I'm going to die.
01:33So I'll keep doing it, and I'm grateful that people appreciate it.
01:36Thanks to BAFTA for this award.
01:38I'm truly humbled again.
01:42Thank you so much.
01:43You ready?
01:52You
