With The X-Factor still firmly wedged inside the minds of most of us (Jedward *shudder*), it’s difficult to think back over 2009 and remember what were the best TV shows and moments of the year, so thanks to some clever telly committee bods we don’t have to bother. Because they’ve conveniently compiled a*cough*comprehensive*cough* list of nominees for the upcoming 2010 National Television Awards.

The usual suspects are there including; The X-Factor & Britain’s Got No Talent for Best Talent Show and Best Comedy Show nods for Harry Hill’s TV Burp and The Inbetweeners. There’s also a very random nomination for weekday coffee table chitter chatter ITV show Loose Women in the Best Factual Programme category, where as not one news show gets any credit, hmmm.

The 2010 National Television Awards take place on January 20th and will be shown on ITV1, which of course has nothing to do with that Loose Women nom, no.

Here are the contenders;
