When Blondie Came To Britain picked up the RTS Yorkshire award for best Factual Entertainment programme of the year in Leeds last night.
The BBC Two documentary was produced and directed by Kate Siney (pictured above), edited by Lia Hayes and production managed by Charlotte Topliss with Linda Woodhouse as archive producer, Andrew Morgan as assistant producer and Kay Beaumont and Laura Green as production executives.
Rachel Davies was the commissioning editor for the BBC, with Mark Robinson executive producing for Wise Owl.
The judges commented: “This was a stand-out entry full of so many great stories”.
It’s the second year in a row that a documentary in the When ‘x’ Came To Britain series picked up the award in this category for Wise Owl – with Dhivya Kate Chetty’s film about Tina Turner coming out on top in 2023.
