Doctor Who stars Matt Smith and Karen Gillan stormed the National Television Awards last night.

The timelord and his female sidekick took home best Male Drama Performance and Best Female Drama Performance respectively.

Karen Gillan, who is leaving the BBC1 show, said she had enjoyed the “time of my life”.

“I will never have as much fun again.”

Doctor Who writer Steven Moffat took to Twitter to congratulate Smith and Gillan, writing: “Mexican wave among all the Who fans please! I’ll start.”

The night was not entirely Doctor Who’s. The show failed to claim the prize for Best Drama, which went to ITV1 period success story Downton Abbey.

Rob James-Collier, who plays Thomas, joked that the show’s popularity had more to do with scheduling than anything else.

“It helps that we’re on after X Factor,” he said.

The fiercly fought soap battle saw Coronation Street triumph, taking home the Serial Drama award.

Katherine Kelly, who left the show this week, picked up the Serial Drama Performance award for her role as fiesty Becky McDonald.

Veteren presenter Bruce Forsyth presented Jonathan Ross with the Lifetime Achievement award, who said he was flummoxed by the accolade.

“I’m amazed, like so many of you are, that I’m still working,” Ross said.

The award for the best Talent Show went to The X Factor, while This Morning won the Factual Programme award.

Alan Carr triumphed in the Talk Show category for his show Alan Carr Chatty Man, beating Graham Norton, Jonathan Ross and the ladies from Loose Women.

The Outstanding Contribution award went to Take That star and XFactor judge Gary Barlow.

The Military Wives, who topped the charts with their Christmas single Wherever You Are, performed on stage at the O2 Arena, along with Bruce Forsyth and X Factor winners Little Mix.
