And the Winner Is (radio series)

And The Winner Is is a British radio comedy program presented by the comedian Matt Lucas. It was first broadcast in 2010 and airs on BBC Radio 2.

Format

The show takes the format of an awards ceremony known as "The Lucases" (named for the host). In each episode, Lucas would announce a category for the awards (something surreal such as "Sexiest British Prime Minister"), then his three guests would put forward their nominations. After a discussion about why their nominations deserved the award, Lucas himself would decide which nomination was most worthy of the prize. At the end of each show a final award (The Lucas of Lucases) would be given to one of the guests, dependent on the category (Worst Behaved, Most Persusavive etc.)
