Same. Half of it is gifs of Colin and Bradley being happy and the other half is gifs of Martin and Bradley being grumpy. I enjoy Downton Abbey quite a bit, so I wasn't upset at all to see them win. Merlin and Doctor Who are somewhat niche shows, and Sherlock has rabid fans, but I don't know how large the population of them is. They're sort of small but incredibly noisy. Downton Abbey has a much more mainstream fanbase, I would imagine.

I think it's fairly par for the course to make fun of the Irish, Welsh and Scottish in England, but I agree that it's a bit rude after what was clearly a very exciting moment for him.
