The Fan Favourite AMV results this year were spread out over a very wide base, because of the sheer number of awesome videos, and the winner was very much down to the wire! Because they won by *a single vote* we had to count and re-count the ballots 3 times over to check!

Wow, the "Thanks, Now I Need New Pants" award! That's quite a title. I hope my video didn't actually make someone pee their pants and is just referencing the intro of the video.
