Only a Northern Gong

You have to say that BBC Controllers are already putting reasonable amounts of work into the northwest, even ahead of next year's move into MediaCityUK. Saturday saw the Royal Television Society's North West Awards (at the Hilton in Deangsate, not the Lowry or, indeed, the Holiday Inn MediaCityUK). 15 of the 21 awards went to BBC network commissions (and many of the others to BBC regional output). Here's the 15.
