I didn’t know where to post this, but the first British Soap Awards from 1999 is posted in it’s entirety. Not sure if other earlier years will surface, but it would be great if so.

Strange they didn’t really let the Corrie team talk when they accepted Best British Soap. 

 

Awwww so cute. I love it. Been to the 2023 and I’m glad that I’ve been there coz this year there won’t be one

It was nice to see all the soaps stand up and give Jean Alexander a standing ovation when she presented Best Actor to Ross Kemp.

Obviously, we know the list of winners form these old ceremonies, but it’s nice to revisit them to see the stars from the soaps back then and moments you maybe hadn’t seen or heard of before. 

I feel like I have the British Soap Awards 2005 or 6 and maybe 8 on DVD somewhere.

Thanks for sharing that! I don't think I'd ever seen the first ceremony before.

Jean Alexander was a treat, I had no clue she ever made an appearance on any of these. And yes, the room full of respect for her (and for Roache) gives you goosebumps.

Barbara Windsor and Kelvin Fletcher's clips are the most impressive.

It's funny because I haven't taken the Daytime Emmys seriously at allllll since we got down to four soaps, but the BSAs have always been the Corrie/EE/Emmerdale/Oaks show, and it's never felt hollow or like a waste of time. I guess because the UK didn't have a pool of 10+ shows shrink down to a pitiful 4.

Anyone knows of a place we're I could watch and/or download the shows from 2010 onwards???? Have had no luck, if I find them they're in low quality
