Winners

Bright spark James Goodhand was chosen to receive the award by a panel of judges chaired by Terry Marsh, Digital Media Consultant.

Goodhand graduated from UCL with a degree in Physics before joining the BBC’s trainee scheme. He then completed placements with BBC Distribution, Newsgathering Location Facilities and International Bureaux Support. Most recently he has been working on a project to develop an in-house Return Vision System for BBC News.

The RTS has announced the winners of the 2016 Craft & Design Awards in partnership with Blackmagic Design.

Comedian Sandi Toksvig hosted the Awards, which were held at the London Hilton on Park Lane on Monday 28 November.

The nominations for the 2016 ceremony have been announced, covering a range of crafts and genres in the industry.

Introducing the evening, the Chairman of the North East & The Border Centre, Graeme Thompson, said:

I don’t know what you were doing 29 years ago — I was obviously still in short trousers — but we were watching shows such as Highway and The Tube from Tyne Tees, Look Who’s Talking with Derek Batey on Border and Look North and Eastenders on BBC1.  How times have changed.
