Whistle

Wednesday evening sees the black-tie bunfight that is the Royal Television Society Awards, at the Hilton on Park Lane - sadly likely to be overshadowed by the Brit Awards at the O2 on the same night. RTS tickets are still available at £294 including VAT and a half-bottle of wine.

For the BBC, this is likely to be James Harding's first direct experience of the bragging rivalry between the UKs new channels. However, his pickings could be slim. The BBC is not nominated in the category Daily News Programme of The Year, or National Presenter of The Year - a shame, considering how many of each it's got.  The best bet is a gong or two for Jeremy Bowen, and coverage of Syria, with another for cameramen Darren Conway.
