The well-respected Royal Television Society announced the winners of their awards for 2007 last night and it’s great to see that many of our favourite shows have received the recognition they really do deserve. The wonderful writer of Cranford, Heidi Thomas, was honoured, The Flight Of The Conchords won the International Award, and Harry Hill got an award for his performances on TV Burp. Not only that, but the Mighty Boosh have *finally* won their first “proper” award, and QI, Top Gear, The Street and Mitchell and Webb have all been honoured. And the photo? That’s because Sir David Attenborough won the Lifetime Achievement Award. Have the panel been reading TVScoop by any chance? Or do we just have impeccable taste…? Have a look over the cut for the full list of winners.
