The AIBs 2016
SPORT
Channel 4 is the free-to-air home of
Formula 1 in the UK, and Whisper
Films produces the coverage. Our
judges said that the passion of the
presenters, and the extensive team
behind the scenes, translated to a
great experience for the viewer. The
production values were of the highest
standard, with superb pre-race scene-
setting in Barcelona using beautiful
camerawork and editing. The pit lane
build-up was fluid with tremendous
expertise gathered to dissect the
qualifying heats, and to examine the
challenges that the drivers face on the
Barcelona circuit. A great way for live
sport to be handled, commented the
judges.
ITV Sport
Rugby World Cup Final
Our judges said that coverage of the Rugby World
Cup Final demonstrated high production values,
with great use of archive material in the build-up to
draw spectators in to the high profile match. There
was outstanding team work in evidence and one
judge commented that this was the first time he had
enjoyed a game of rugby!
Highly commended

RADIO CREATIVE FEATURE
The Battle of Britain at 75 caught our
judges’ attention as a truly creative
production for the BBC and BFBS. As
the UK marked the 75th anniversary
of the war in the skies, TBI Media with
Snappin’ Turtle Productions delivered
a remarkable and audaciously large
scale programme that appeared
not only on BBC Radio 2, but on
the television through the “red
button” service and in cinemas up
and down the country. “Stunning,
compelling, dramatic and evocative”
our judges said, delivered through
great story-telling, extraordinarily
diverse live locations and a wide
range of presenters and actors. This
is a production that appealed to all
ages, with its fabulous soundtrack and
senses both of excitement and horror
as the battle was recounted for a
modern-day audience.

Growing Up Without a Dad
The judges complimented this production for BBC
Radio 1 that helped its youth audience understand
that not having a father present as you’re growing
up does not mean that there’s no hope. Taking role
models such as and Barack Obama as
examples, the programme threaded great narrative
through music tracks.
Highly commended
