Casualty cast and crew / Ross Kemp / The Royle Family / Stephen Merchant / Mitchell and Webb / Philip Glenister / Richard Curtis / Stephen Fry; omedy writer and performer Stephen Merchant who picked up an award for co-star Ricky Gervais for their programme 'Extras' press conference SOT - I'll give him a ring in a minute / Pleased for him to win / Didn't realise I'd have to go up and get it for him / Thought he would have sent a televised message or something / It's good / I'm not upset / I'm a bit frazzled / Didn't think I'd have to talk on his behalf / Not like he hasn't got enough already (whispered and smiles) ... - Say it's probably the performance of Ricky Gervais the BAFTA winining star of the show ('Extras') which makes it so popular / And the celebrity faces and the other hilarious comedy turns in it / Everyone's a winner just for being nominated lest we forget (laughter) - I didn't know he (Gervais) was going to win and they said to me vaguely but to be honest with you I thought Liz Smith was going to win as everyone did / When Joan Rivers said I'd accept it for him I was a bit bemused - I'd thought of the things I might say but I was kind of hoping that Liz Smith would win so I wouldn't have to go up and do a speech as I get nervous / Then I had to go up and do a speech anyway / Bit bizarre / Hadn't really thought about what I was going to say accepting Ricky's award
