Well, the 4th DARKCHAT awards have finally come to an end.

The champagne cocktails have been drunk, the shortbread eaten and the Ironbru left well alone. We even had a surprise visit from Uncle Scrooge McDuck to continue the Scottish theme. (We will gloss over the debate between Rick & Phil about who got the most mentions in David's Ode & how Kara won the quiz without even going to the festival.)

 And who knew Phil was afraid of Ice Cream scrapping?

I know you are all keen to discover who won so with no further ado let us congratulate all the winners, especially  "Barry and Stuart", "The Importance Of Being Earnest", " A Nifty History of Evil and " The Penny Dreadfuls who all won 2 awards.
