Vote in the 2022 Sandford St Martin Radio Times Readers’ Award
Every year the Radio Times and the Sandford St Martin Trust partner together to host an annual Readers’ Award where members of the public can vote for their favourite programme touching on faith, belief or ethics.
The nominees for this year’s RT Award are an eclectic lot featuring drama, documentary; stories from close to home, others from further away; some looking back in time and others very much about what’s happening in the world today; some that will fill your heart and make you smile, others that will fill your heart and make you cry.
Which from the list of six nominees below was your favourite? You can find out more about each of them and vote at radio times.com/sandford. Polls will close at 11.59 on 5 June.
