The first round of voting has opened for the 18th National Television Awards and you have less than 20 days left to vote for the Doctor, Amy and the show itself reports the BBC Doctor Who site.

Matt Smith is nominated for Best Drama Performance: Male with Karen Gillan nominated in Best Drama Performance: Female. Meanwhile the show itself faces stiff competition from the likes of Sherlock, Merlin and Downton Abbey in the difficult-to-call Best Drama category.

To vote, head over to the NTA website. For more information on how to vote, head to the Radio Times website where Dermot O’Leary explains all.

This round of voting closes on Thursday, 11th October and the awards will be held at London’s O2 arena in the New Year.
