TV star Robson Green was back in the spotlight this Saturday night as he received a special honour at the industry's RTS Awards.
The actor, presenter and producer received the Outstanding Contribution Award at the Royal Television Society North East and the Border ceremony, hosted at the Hilton in Gateshead. And the 58-year-old actually picked it up on the other side of the world during a visit to Australia.
Robson, seen most recently on the screen in BBC 2's Weekend Escapes, was described as a "tireless champion of TV production celebrating the North East" and his award was a highlight of the annual ceremony whose other big winners of the night included Vera, starring Brenda Blethyn, and the Lindisfarne’s Geordie Genius documentary hosted by Sam Fender.
