Winner's acceptance speech by on behalf of the production team of People Just Do Nothing in the Scripted Comedycategory

SPEAKER:  Well, this is a madness.  Shout out to everyone  that believed in us.  Big up Roughcut for helping us do this.  This literally came from nothing on YouTube.  We were just a group of mates just mucking around with each other -- because I can't swear. Come on.  It's fine.  It's fine.  You are coming. You are coming as well. But yeah.  I just want to shout everyone out.  Thank you very much. Go on, Stevie.

SPEAKER 2:  I don't know what else to say really.  Over to ash.  He loves it.

SPEAKER 3:  Yes.  Sorry for the delay, I had to go in through the KFC kitchens.  I have waited ten years to get this award.  I used to be up here with Ricky Gervais and The Office and they never, ever let me talk.  Youprobably all thought I was mute, so this is going to take an hour.

SPEAKER 2:  Everybody shut the fuck up.

SPEAKER 3:  You know when people come up here and say, "We never expected to win it", well, we did expect to win it. When we saw the nominations, we thought: there is no way Fleabag is going to win.  That is definitely us.Thanks very much BAFTA.  The people behind me.  This was the proudest show of my whole career.  I love these guys and if any of you want any drugs we will be selling it by the bar.  See you!

SPEAKER:  Pure corruption.  Keep it Kurupt!

(Applause)
