The National Television Awards are the most prominent ceremony for which the results are voted on by the general public. Because of the way the awards are decided, winners are not given the title “Best”, but rather “Most Popular”. The ceremony was traditionally held annually in October and hosted by Sir Trevor McDonald. However, after no ceremony was held in 2009, McDonald stepped down from the role, which passed to Dermot O’Leary.

Viewers can vote for the short-list of nominees from an initial long list prepared by ITV, and then later can vote by text message, the official website and phone for which of the nominees in each category should win. The awards ceremony is shown in full by ITV.

Unlike the BAFTAs and other similar awards ceremonies, the National Television Awards allow foreign programmes to be nominated, providing they have been screened on a British channel during the eligible time period. For example, American series Desperate Housewives was nominated in the 2005 Most Popular Drama category. The O2 Arena (visually typeset in branding as The O2 arena, referred to as North Greenwich Arena in context of the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics) is a multi-purpose indoor arena located in the centre of The O2, a large entertainment complex on the Greenwich peninsula in London, England.

The full list of nominees can be seen below:

With more than 140 exhibitors from the UK and Europe, the Winter Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair takes place once again in Battersea Park from 24-29 January 2012. The event offers interior designers and private buyers an inspirational opportunity to purchase antiques, 20th century design, works of art and pictures, decorative accessories and collectors’ items from the 17th century to the present day.

Award Winning Event Hire are providing cafe and kitchen equipment.

The Decorative Fair is renowned as a source of unusual and practical furniture, from fine Georgian English and quality Continental for connoisseurs, to painted pieces and country chic for relaxed living areas; fabulous lighting and mirrors; textiles and upholstered chairs, sofas and seating of all kinds; and for original vintage glass and ceramics as well as highly collectable named designer furniture of the 20th century.

Exhibiting dealers carefully select stock with stylish looks, all original, one-off designs that help create an individual look in a design scheme. Their displays provide inspiration for the visitor, and much of the furnishing stock is offered at very reasonable prices, comparable with high street designer home stores.

The Decorative Fair is a thrice-yearly specialist event for the discerning decorator looking to source unusual English and European antiques, original 20th century designs and works of art from all periods to the present day. From opulent show-stoppers to useful furniture, around 140 exhibitors offer a broad range of both fine quality and affordable pieces for inspired interiors, in the relaxed surroundings of leafy Battersea Park – just over the River Thames from Sloane Square and Knightsbridge. The Fair is fun, fashionable and particularly well-known as an excellent source of painted furniture, Gustavian & Swedish design, 20th century design, lighting, accessories and named-design furniture, and excellent mirrors. Its worldwide reputation, established over 25 years, entices international trade and retail buyers, interior designers, and private customers seeking unique and unusual furnishings and quirky accessories for decorating schemes.

The London Model Engineering Exhibition is THE South’s Largest Model Engineering and Modelling Exhibition. Sponsored by the Engineering In Miniature magazine this exhibition is regarded as the premier modelling exhibition in the London and indeed the UK.

From the Friday 20th – Sunday 22nd January Alexandra Palace’s Great Hall will become a hub of activity with planes whizzing overhead, tanks rolling purposefully and clouds of steam filling the air for the 16th London Model Engineering Exhibition.

Award Winning Event Hire are providing equipment and furniture to the event.

The exhibition is the largest modelling show in the UK and blends the full spectrum of modelling from the more traditional model engineering, steam locomotives and traction engines through to the modern remote control modelling including tanks, boats, aeroplanes and helicopters!

Visitors can travel between the show’s different zones, trying their hands on activities and watching technical demonstrations to engage young people and spark a passion for a hobby that can last a lifetime.

The Model Active Zone features action displays from the British Model Flying Association (BMFA), the UK Tank Club and Gauge 1 Model Railway Association who present a live working locomotive which visitors can ride on along a short track.

The Imagineering Foundation, an organisation formed in response to a drastic shortage of skilled engineers in the UK, will be educating and entertaining on their display with a range of fun, hands on activities, all illustrating the basic principles of science, technology and engineering.

For adults, the Society of Model and Experimental Engineers (SMEE) will be introducing people to the hobby by letting them try their hand at turning something on a lathe and machining a small item which they can take away.

There are over a seventy specialist suppliers at the show also selling a full range of tooling and materials for almost every project. Many will also have parts which can be used for motor mechanics and other hobbies.
