Across the 29 competitive categories, the BBC led with 16 wins, including Best Children's Programme for Eagle Eye's 'Quentin Blake'a Box of Treasures', an animated series bringing six of Quentin's much-loved stories to the small screen, each with a beautifully-crafted soundtrack performed by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and featuring the voice talents of Adrian Lester, Simon Pegg, Nina Sosanya and Alison Steadman. Quentin commented: “It’s wonderful to see the characters that I’ve known for such a long time suddenly moving across the screen in front of me. The BBC and Eagle Eye have brought them to life beautifully and I’m so grateful."
