Congratulations to the winners at the 2011 Broadcast Awards that took place on Wednesday 2 February at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

PRS for Music Sponsored the Best Music Programme, which was won by Glastonbury 2010 for the BBC and Glastonbury Festivals for BBC Two

The awards celebrate the UK's best TV shows and the teams behind them. The Editor of Broadcast, Lisa Campbell said: 'Despite the turbulence at the top as chief execs and channel controllers came and went during 2010, programme makers stayed focused on what they do best: creating compelling content. The shows nominated tonight are the shows that captivated, surprised and moved audiences and proved that for television, it's not all over yet.'
