00:00About the mood on the red carpet and GB News got a good sniff of winning today.
00:07They have indeed. Hello Martin. Yes, I'm live from Grosvenor House in London where GB News is not up for one but two Trick Awards.
00:15Best News Show and Best News Presenter. Speaking of which, I'm joined by one of the nominees now, Mr Charlie Peters and some of the GB News family.
00:23Charlie, seems fitting to start with you. How are you feeling?
00:25Oh, very nervous but very excited. It's a great day for GB News always here at the Trick Awards.
00:30These awards are special. They're like no other, Alex, because of course the people vote for them.
00:35You know, the big industry awards, this is the one that we love the most.
00:38In part because we win them quite a lot. We're very good at that.
00:41But also because our audience, it's an opportunity for them to share their appreciation for our work and we love it for that reason.
00:47Absolutely. And you know, we're no strangers to our critics.
00:50What does it say to them when we get nominated for awards like this and not only that, we win them?
00:54Well, it shows that we are the people's channel, doesn't it? Right?
00:58That this channel has the backing of people right across the country and yeah, it gives us an enormous pleasure to come here and see all that appreciation
01:04and have a day where we can sort of lap that up for once actually and make the most of it.
01:09Absolutely. And Ben and Bev, if I can bring you guys in, because I know Charlie's far too humble.
01:14How proud are you of Charlie for getting this nomination today?
01:17Oh, we've relentlessly taken the mickey out of him. We will keep his feet on the ground. Don't worry about that.
01:21Did you see his ego in the taxi? Oh, yeah. No, joking, joking.
01:25Yeah. No, honestly, it's the work that Charlie's done is so important and so brilliant and he's been so driven and it's so good for the channel as a whole.
01:34Not just not just for Charlie, who we love dearly, but it's just good for GB News.
01:38And we know how much, you know, our viewers love what we do. We know how much they love what Charlie does.
01:42Absolutely. And GB News Breakfast as well is up for an award as well.
01:45It's got some stiff competition, but do you think we can do it again?
01:48I think we can do it. The breakfast show is pretty unique. We've got some great stars on there.
01:52Eamon, Eddie, Stephen, you know, Anne and so on. I cover a couple of times. I love covering breakfast.
01:57But yeah, I think we've won it the last two years.
01:58Yeah, we've won the last two. A certain Mr. Farage has won News Presenter the last two years as well.
02:03So no pressure, Mr. Peters.
02:06They say he might be the next Prime Minister. So clearly it's a good gig to win, that Strict Award.
02:11Who knows what you might go on to next, right?
02:13Why not? Next Prime Minister or Strictly. We'll see whichever one comes up.
