ITV's A Spy Among Friends on winning the VLV Award for Best TV Drama which follows the defection of notorious KGB double agent Kim Philby.

Good to see these awards being valued and welcomed by the people and organisations receiving them. Broadcasting quality matters, as does speaking truth to power.

What is #PSB , what is the essence of #PSB ? Dame Colette Bowe asks the panel in the final session of the conference on How to fund and incentivise Public Service Content.

A great honour and thanks so much to everyone who voted for us!
