Judges said: ‘The jury chairs were impressed by the innovation, humour, combination of contemporary story telling and mischievous animation, all achieved on a low budget in fast turnaround.
‘The winning programme set a new standard for originality and risk-taking - the very backbone of why we work in TV.’
‘In addition to the overall quality of the technical and design teams there was a high degree of innovation involved in the speed of the process which meant the items could be written and recorded just 36 hours before transmission.’
