Channel 4 scoops five at Rose d'Or
Channel 4 was awarded five of the 12 awards available at the Rose d'Or festival in Switzerland last night.

Documentary Young @ Heart won best art documentary and the best of 2007 special prize. Made by Walker George Films for More 4, the programme followed a pensioner's choir as they toured the US performing rock and pop covers.

RDF's Secret Millionaire took best reality show, while the animated version of Peter and the Wolf, made by Breakthru Films, took the performing arts prize.

Channel 4's opera about Buzz Aldrin, Man on The Moon, made by Tiger Aspect and written by British composer Jonathan Dove, won a special opera prize.

Other UK productions picked up their share of the remaining awards, with another Tiger Aspect production The Vicar of Dibley taking best comedy, and Avalon-produced BBC One comedy Not Going Out winning best sitcom. S4C's drama Con Passionate scooped the first Rose d'Or for Wales for best soap.
