Filmed in central London on Tuesday night, host David Tennant welcomes you to the only video taken inside the actual event.
You can't buy your way into this buzzing party and you can't talk your way in - though press and paparazzi had a good try again this year! - but now you can see the fun for yourself.

Possible New Project
You may remember a few months ago that David mentioned that he may have been involved with a musical?
Well some interesting info comes via Doctor Who composer Murray Gold. Murray is currently working with BBC Radio 3 on his new project Kafka The Musical.
He posted a photo of the cast list on his twitter page which you can see above and if we're not mistaken his carefully placed finger is hiding none other than a certain Mr David Tennant, it's someone he describes as "one of my favourite actors"... Hmmm... No official word on it yet, but we're pretty excited! You can follow Murray Gold on Twitter here.

Role in Busby Babes film was a real kick for me, says Scots actor David Tennant
DAVID TENNANT has revealed he was desperate to star in a new football drama - despite not being a fan of the game.
The former Doctor Who will appear in upcoming BBC film United, The Busby Babes, about the 1958 Munich air crash.
Tennant, 39, plays Manchester United assistant manager Jimmy Murphy, who takes over the team following the tragedy, which killed eight players and left boss Matt Busby seriously injured.
Tennant said:"I am famously not that much of a football fan at all, so when the script arrived I didn't think that it was going to be for me.
"However, it really knocked me back and the emotional power of the story is what hooked me.
"The way I saw it was if it was affecting me, then it's one that is going to get to everyone."
Fellow Scottish actor Dougray Scott, 44, has signed up to play Busby.
