From a grovelling bastard to fisting Norman Lamont...
As Channel 4 say they are dropping the ceremony after four years, we look back at some of the memorable moments in the 24-year history of the British Comedy Awards...
1993: Julian Clary's Norman Lamont gag
1994: Spike Milligan calls Prince Charles a grovelling bastard
1995: Michael Barrymore mucks about…
2000: Alan Partridge and Elton John duet
2001: 'Seinfield' sends an acceptance speech
2002: Kathy Burke acceptance speech
2005: John Lydon and Paul O'Grady
2006: They only got Madonna…
2009: Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant acceptance speech
2013: Steve Coogan acceptance speech
Channel 4 cut this short so it could air a repeat of Gogglebox, concluding it on E4.
