MARC ON THE MATT LUCAS AWARDS - COMING SOON TO BBC1 AND HD

Based on his radio series 'And The Winner Is...', as heard on BBC Radio 2, The Matt Lucas Awards is the show that gives out the awards that other shows don’t, whether it's Smuggest Nation of People or Most More-ish Food. The nominations are provided each week by three celebrity guests before Matt finally decides the winner of the much-coveted and exquisitely-titled 'Lucas' statue – a golden miniature naked Matt Lucas!Unlike other award shows, The Matt Lucas Awards doesn't come from a swanky hotel but takes place in Matt's flat where he is joined in the kitchen by his Mum (yes, his real mum) and on keyboards by the renowned film composer David Arnold, (best known for scoring five James Bond films as well as winning a Grammy for Independence Day) and a live studio audience. The Matt Lucas Awards will make its debut on BBC One and BBC One HD on Tuesday 10th April at 10:35pm. Marc Wootton will appear in episode 2 (17th April) and the Best of Compilation Episode on Tuesday 22nd May.
