2012 RTS Programme Awards winners

Proudly, the BBC has received a whopping 35 nominations at this year’s Royal Television Society Programme Awards. The ceremony took place last night at the Grosvenor House Hotel and it was hosted by comedian Rob Brydon, who was hilarious.

The Awards, chaired by David Liddiment, honour excellence in key genres of television programming, from children’s fiction to comedy performance, history to soaps, covering both national and regional output.
