Hat-tric for Breakfast

Dermot and Sian: something to celebrate

For the third year running, BBC Breakfast has picked up the award for best daytime TV programme from the Television and Radio Industry Club - TRIC for short.

The BBC One programme beat competition from GMTV and Noel Edmonds' show Deal or No Deal to scoop the award on Tuesday.

Breakfast's presenters, Dermot Murnaghan, Sian Williams and Declan Curry were at the star-studded award ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel, in London's Park Lane.

Sian Williams paid tribute to the hard work of the production team which works behind the scenes to keep Breakfast on air every day of the year.

"We're the swans gliding on the surface.

"But this is a tribute to all the people you don't see, paddling away furiously underneath."

Breakfast's weather forecaster Helen is also a winner

Breakfast's regular weather presenter Helen Willetts also triumphed, winning the award for the best TV weather presenter.

The TV and Radio Industries Club, which is more than 70 years old, draws its membership from across the media.

Its members work in the fields of entertainment, programme making and manufacturing
