00:00Well...

00:05I don't know quite what to say.

00:10How many times can you say a vagina in one speech?

00:16Time now for this year's Tony Warren Award.

00:20Named in honour of the legendary Coronation Street creator,

00:24this special award acknowledges a huge contribution to soap

00:28made by someone behind the scenes.

00:30And here to present it are some dingles, not all of them,

00:33because let's be honest, that's half the theatre.

00:35Please welcome Moira and Marlon.

00:38It's Natalie J. Robb and Mark Sharnoff.

00:54This year's Tony Warren Award goes to a much-looking

00:57friend and colleague who began his career at Yorkshire TV

01:01back in 1985 as a postal messenger,

01:05but who just a few years later met the second love of his life,

01:09the camera.

01:11From the moment he worked on his first episode,

01:13there was no holding him back.

01:15And since then, he's filmed over a thousand episodes of Emmerdale,

01:19bringing energy, warmth and creativity to everything,

01:23from the devastating New Aziz Storm in 2003,

01:27the unforgettable 40th anniversary live episode in 2012,

01:31to the catastrophic Hotton Bypass crash.

01:34And since becoming head of cameras at Emmerdale,

01:37he's championed loads of new talent with the same passion

01:40he brings to every single frame.

01:42He's a mentor, an ambassador for the show,

01:46and a true part of Emmerdale's beating heart.

01:50I am delighted to say that the 2025 Tony Warren Award

01:54goes to the brilliant Mike Blunt!

01:58Woo!

02:16Er, totally unexpected.

02:18Erm, it's been a fabulous 40 years, erm,

02:22and I've had the privilege of working with some of the most talented people

02:26in front and behind the camera.

02:28Erm, and that's it.

02:30Thank you very much.

02:32Bye.
