War Zones, Jungles & Breaking News - The Top News & Current Affairs TV Of The Year

What are the ingredients for an outstanding news report? From the conflict in Israel & Gaza, to the jungles of Myanmar, our panel of TV insiders look at the finest TV journalism of the past year. 

Annabel Deegan produced Christiane Amanpour for CNN for many years - she tells Alex Zane why preparation is key to any field reporting.

Presenter Sonali Shah worked on BBC's Newsround and explains why having two anchors on a live broadcast can sometimes be better than one.

Plus, we're back at the BAFTA Television Craft Awards to hear how Benedict Sanderson won the Photography: Factual award for The Detectives: Taking Down An OCG, and Andy James and Andy Painter: two sound supervisors responsible for capturing The King's Coronation last year, winning in the Sound: Factual category.

A BAFTA production, produced by Matt Hill at Rethink Audio. The transcript of this episode will be available on the BAFTA website.
