Politicians and Celebrities Clash at National Television Awards

The audience's booing and catcalls outnumbered their applause, making the two Davids' appearance seem "massively out of key." Despite this, they managed to reveal their favorite TV shows, with Mr. Cameron expressing his love for "24" and "Desperate Housewives."

Tony Blair made a video appearance to present a special recognition award to Jamie Oliver, who won the most popular factual programme award for "Jamie's School Dinners."
