The Wales This Week special ‘The Bullseye Killer’ has won a British Academy Cymru Award (Bafta Cymru).
The hour-long documentary won a Bafta in the Current Affairs category of the awards at the Wales Millennium Centre.
The programme documented the crimes of John Cooper, one of the most notorious criminals in British history.
Cooper burgled, raped and murdered during a 15-year reign of terror, which included four executions by shotgun. And, far from keeping a low profile between crimes, he even took time to appear on the gameshow Bullseye.
ITV Wales had exclusive access to the police enquiry and the forensic science which finally trapped Cooper.
‘The Bullseye Killer’ was transmitted the night Cooper was jailed in May 2011.
Wales This Week‘s film ‘Living With Dementia’, which was broadcast on ITV Wales last year, has won a Guild of Health Writers’ Award for Best Broadcast Programme.
The award was presented at the Royal Society of Medicine in Wimpole Street, London.
The film followed Jim McWade, who suffers with Alzheimer’s Disease, and his wife Maureen, and Peter Oldacre, who was looking after his wife Ann.
You can read about the making of the programme on the ITV Wales blog and watch it below.
‘I Fought Them All’, the biography of Irish prizefighting legend, Tom Sharkey, has been shortlisted for a Wishing Shelf Award.
