Adebayor's started so well for Man City
Congratulations...
...to Victoria, who's just picked up the Nick Clarke Award for her interview with Peter Bacon. You may remember back in April we spoke to Peter Bacon, just after he'd been cleared of raping a woman who'd claimed she was too drunk to consent to sex.
The Nick Clarke award was created in honour of the former presenter of Â鶹Éç Radio 4's The World At One who died in November 2006, to celebrate and recognise the best broadcast interview of the year.
Victoria's interview impressed the judges for its "careful, calm and non-judgemental questioning on a complex and potentially emotive issue". You can listen back to the interview here.
The judges were unanimous in their selection.
Kevin Marsh, who's a former Today editor, who sat on the final judging panel said: "Victoria's interviewing style was direct, precise and courteous and did not avoid the awkward and at times personal questions. At no time did she seek to steer the listeners' emotions or opinions about this difficult case while at the same time making crisp and well measured interventions to challenge the interviewee's assertions.The interview was well paced and structured and left one at the end remembering it for the answers Victoria had drawn from her interviewee rather than for an overbearing performance by the interviewer."
