On Winning an Award (Sort of)

Posted By Philip Palmer On 28th September 2007 @ 19:36 In Miscellaneous, Radio Writing | 2 Comments

Rather to my surprise, I've won (or part won, or shared in the winning of) an award for my radio drama Gaza. It's the [1] Clarion Award, which was given for the radio series From Fact to Fiction, to which I contributed one 15 minute episode.

Still, even a tiny minuscule chip off the edges of an award for a very short play is good enough for me.  It beats my abject failure to win a BAFTA for my episode of the TV series Rebus (I was short-listed for the Best Newcomer award, but then some smarty-pants noticed that I'd had over a dozen Bill episodes broadcast, and hence wasn't strictly speaking a newcomer, and so I was de-nominated - sob!)

Anyway, I'm proud to have a stake in this glorious shard of an award, and thanks to [2] Sasha and the rest of the team.
