Chris Addison 1998 Best Newcomer Nominee

The tremendously slick and clever Chris Addison came up trumps for a second year on the trot with another intelligent and gag-packed romp. As almost everyone knows the rest is history as Chris' work on The Thick of It and In The Loop have won him household name and face recognition and he's a valued guest on numerous shows and had his own sitcom Lab Rats aired on BBC1.
