If anyone observes that most of the winners were 'BBC Radio Drama for Radio 4' productions just ask yourself who else in the plethora of radio stations out there in the ether, bothers to produce radio plays. Too few I fear! Thank goodness for the BBC without whose encouragement and active support there would be precious little radio drama broadcast at all.
