\n<\/span><\/p>\nFormer Archers actor Graham Seed has been named radio broadcaster of the year at the Broadcasting Press Guild (BPG) Awards.<\/p>\n
Seed, who played Nigel Pargetter in the Radio 4 soap for 27 years until the character’s death in January, is the first actor to receive the honour.<\/p>\n
The BPG said the award was in recognition of the affection in which Nigel was held by Archers fans.<\/p>\n
Other winners included Downton Abbey and drama Mo, with two awards each.<\/p>\n
Downton Abbey was awarded best drama series of 2010 while its creator Julian Fellowes won the writer’s award.<\/p>\n
Julie Walters was named best actress for her role as the late politician Mo Mowlam in Channel 4’s Mo, which was also named best single drama.<\/p>\n
And Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch won the best actor award, beating Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville and Any Human Heart’s Tom Hollander.<\/p>\n
There were also two awards for physicist Professor Brian Cox – as best performer in a non-acting role and for BBC Two’s Wonders of the Solar System, which was named best documentary series.<\/p>\n
BBC Two’s Miranda was named best comedy show while The Apprentice won the best factual entertainment category.<\/p>\n
Best single documentary was awarded to Channel 4’s Cutting Edge: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, which has now been turned into a hit series.<\/p>\n
While Coronation Street creator Tony Warren was given the Harvey Lee award for outstanding contribution to broadcasting, marking the soap’s 50th anniversary at the end of 2010.<\/p>\n
The awards, voted for by journalists who write and broadcast about TV and radio, will be presented at a ceremony later at London’s Theatre Royal.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
