BAFTA award-winning Paul Roberts Sound is based in Kingsbridge

27th March 2008

A Kingsbridge-based business has scooped a prestigious prize at this year's Media Innovation Awards.

Dubbing mixing firm Paul Roberts Sound won the audio/music for screen category for their piece - Mama Mirabelle, produced for the BBC and King Rollo Films for National Geographic.

The judges awarded first prize for the "incredibly complex and well executed sound mix which brought the programme to life and beautifully complemented the imagery".

The glittering awards ceremony was held in Plymouth on March 16, and recognised the innovative use of screen-based media in the Westcountry.

The evening was introduced by Mark Hawkins, chair of Plymouth Media-Partnership, and Jemma Woodman from ITV Westcountry was the host for the night.

Paul Roberts Sound has been based in the South Hams town of Kingsbridge for nearly 25 years.

In 1998, the firm landed the coveted Best Sound (Factual) BAFTA for their work on documentary Airport.

The company, which has also scooped a further two BAFTA nominations, has also mixed sound for popular TV programs such as Only Fools and Horses, The Two Ronnies, Open All Hours and We'll Meet Again.
