BBC Features won five awards for Protecting our Children, the story of child protection social workers in Bristol, which took years to negotiate access and gather material.

Creative England's iFeatures films scooped four awards, while the BBC's Natural History Unit went home with three awards.

BBC West won in the news categories.

Jonathan Dimbleby, the voice of Radio 4's Any Questions, took to the stage to acknowledge Network Radio's contribution to the region.

He presented BBC Network Radio Bristol with a special award for its work, which dates back to 1934.

He said: "The seeds of modern radio were sown in Bristol.

"Whiteladies Road was where the architect of modern radio, Frank Gillard, shaped the future.

"For radio listeners, the words 'Made in Bristol' really do count for something."
