After the Dance has, deservedly, stormed it at the Olivier Awards scooping best supporting actor for Adrian Scarborough, best revival and best actress for Nancy Carroll.

I'm particularly pleased Carroll won best actress. Her character gets kills off two thirds of the way through but her performance had already made such a huge impression.

It was also a good night for theatre in that the BBC decided to cover the awards, albeit via the red button. Shame they fudged the opportunity so fundamentally that they earned the wrath of many a theatre tweeter, myself included.

The terrible choice of Jodie Prenger to do red carpet interviews had me switching over for a time. She seemed more concerned with kissing everyone she knew and demonstrated such a gulf in her knowledge of theatre I'm surprised the arriving celebs didn't fall into it.

Then onto the awards themselves. The problem is that the BBC was doing a dual Radio 2 and television broadcast with DJ Paul Gambaccini doubling up as voice over during the ceremony and winners interviewer for Radio and TV. The result was a lot of bad editing decisions cutting to interviews rather than the awards. For example Nancy Carroll's acceptance speech was cut in favour of an interview with Gok Wan.

Only a select few awards were actually shown mainly acting and musicals - none of the technical achievements.
