period drama "Cranford", while Laurie won Best Actor for his role as cranky

The Digis - the DigiGuide TV and Radio Awards - are voted for by users of
DigiGuide, the up-and-coming interactive TV and radio guide.
There were 11 categories in the 2007 Awards. The BBC swept five of them.
BBC2 and BBC Radio 2 were voted top TV and radio channels, BBC2's "Heroes"
won Best New Drama, BBC1's "Doctor Who" took Best Sci-Fi and BBC2's "Earth:
The Power of the Planet" won Best Factual.
"We are delighted that DigiGuide users have enjoyed such a broad range of
the BBC's output," says a BBC spokesperson. "From music to drama, from
documentaries to sci-fi, it's great to see that audiences are enjoying the
quality and breadth of BBC TV and Radio."
Other winners included Five's "House" (Best Drama), Channel 4's "Ugly
Betty" (Best Comedy), "Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" (Best Cookery) and
"Formula 1: The Brazil Grand Prix" (Best Sporting Event).
In addition, Channel 4 - which last year celebrated its 25th birthday -
won a special award for Outstanding Achievement in Broadcasting. The award
was given in recognition of C4's consistently challenging output - often
off-beat, left-field, provocative and controversial - cleverly integrated
with more populist programming.
"Channel 4 is delighted that its distinctive and original output during
25 years of broadcasting has been recognised by this Outstanding Achievement
award," says a C4 spokesperson.
