Long Way Round wins broadcasting award

Long Way Round – the Sky TV series following Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman’s journey through the old Soviet Bloc and into America – has won the Broadcaster Award for the Best Multichannel Programme.

For this award, judges were looking for the outstanding original production commissioned by a UK digital-only television channel, with its first transmission during 2005. Judges searched for shows that were original, brought something new to the market and struck a chord with its audience.

“This is a fantastic award to win,” said Russ Malkin, the producer and director of Long Way Round. “Ewan and Charley’s journey has really caught the imagination of so many people that the success of the project has thrived. Since the series was shown on Sky in the UK, it has been released internationally and we are now getting a whole new wave of positive feedback from around the world.”
