Keele graduate, Jamie Aitchison (1993 History & Politics), headed the Channel 4's Paralympic coverage that won a TV Bafta for best sport and live event.

"The Paralympics went from zero recognition with the British public to this huge event," says Jamie, Channel 4 sports editor, who described Sunday's win at the Television Bafta Awards as "an amazing surprise".

"We had disabled presenters who knew about the sport - and we chose the tone; educating people in an entertaining way."

It is the second Bafta for the Channel 4 Paralympics team, who also won the craft award for digital creativity.
