Mae Martin
Joe Lycett has bagged two awards at this year's Royal Television Society Awards.
The campaigning comedian picked up the award for Best Presenter for his work on the BBC series The Great British Sewing Bee. Judges described him as “warm, approachable and kind, with tremendous enthusiasm for the subject matter”.
And his Channel 4 consumer show Joe Lycett's Got Your Back has won the Formatted Popular Factual Award.
Well it couldn't last for ever I suppose. After a run of comedians winning Richard Osman's House of Games that stretched back to December 2020 the sequence ended last week. Despite there being three comic acts on the show – Sally Phillips, Ronni Ancona and Nathan Caton – they were all pipped by broadcaster Colin Murray.

The news comes amid much speculation about the future of the series that has received rave reviews and award nominations but had yet to have its recommission announced. In fact according to Martin the second series is "coming to Netflix very soon." . She does not mention C4 who aired the first series.

Mae Martin is hosting a party and you are all invited.
The star of C4 series Feel Good has gathered the people she finds funniest for some improvisation and lockdown content this Sunday. She is arranging some friends to catch-up with, there’s live music and some poetry, and (most importantly) she’s inviting you to join the party – from your home, wherever you are.
This will be two hours of live, online, occasionally-interactive, entertainment.
I have had a lot of creatives popping up in my timeline recently mentioning that they are going to spend their current confinement writing that sitcom they’ve always intended to write. There are even enterprising people offering online write-at-home courses. Well good luck, I’m sure the results will all be brilliant, but please bear in mind that these things take time.
Feel Good is a new semi-autobiographical comedy for Channel 4 from Mae Martin and co-written by Joe Hampson.
The series follows recovering addict and comedian Mae, who is trying to control the addictive behaviours and intense romanticism that permeate every facet of her life. Life is further complicated by a new and all-consuming relationship with her new girlfriend George...
Feel Good stars Mae Martin as Mae, a rising talent on the stand-up circuit and recovering addict whose addictive behaviours and intense romanticism dominate every single part of her life. When she meets pragmatic - but so far heterosexual - George (Charlotte Ritchie) she’s smitten, and much to her surprise George feels the same.
