This Week wins Plain English Award
|
This Week - presented by Andrew Neil, Michael Portillo and Diane Abbott - has
been selected as Best National Television Programme by the Plain English
Campaign in their media awards for 2006.
听
The Plain English Campaign said in their citation:
"While reality television shows continue to flood the networks, This Week
offers viewers a chance to watch lively political discussion at its best.
听
"Andrew Neil, Michael Portillo and Diane Abbott are incisive, informative and
very often irreverent, yet the debating is enjoyable, accessible and easy to
follow.
听
"There is an effective mix of political and celebrity guests, and the
'alternative' video reports of the week's news are very amusing."
听
It's the second award won by This Week this year. In March the programme
won best programme in the the Hansard Society/Channel 4 Political awards.
听
This Week was launched in 2003 with a brief to cover politics in an
accessable way.
听
The late night political chat show - broadcast on Thursdays
on 成人论坛 One - reaches an audience of one and a half million.
听
The former winners of the Plain English award for Best National Television
programme include Newsnight, Channel 4 News and Sunday AM.
听
Jamie Donald, Editor, This Week, said: "I'm delighted that a programme
on late at night and covering such an unfashionable subject has been
honoured in this way.
听
"Thank you to the Plain English Campaign. It's a tribute
to the talent of the production team and to the appeal of the presenting trio
of Andrew, Michael and Diane that the programme now has two awards under its
belt this year and an audience which is still growing year on year on 成人论坛 One."
