'Who Knows Where The Time Goes' has been awarded silver in the Music Special category.
The judges said: "This was a fascinating and touching portrait of Sandy Denny. A story well told through the unique and empathetic style of the presenter
Bob Harris. A comprehensive and well-produced programme."
'The Day John Met Paul' has been awarded silver in the Music Special category. The judges said "The imaginative use of archive material was combined with contextual interviews to recreate the origins of the major musical phenomenon of the twentieth century at a Liverpool church fete. It was not only highly informative, but also profoundly touching in its unaffected presentation of such a momentous narrative."
This programme will be broadcast again on 29th August as part of the BBC Radio 2 Beatles Weekend.
