British TV shows dominated at the International Emmy Awards on Monday, winning six out of seven awards.
Channel 4 won three prizes - for Brat Camp, The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off and children's tale, The Illustrated Mum.
The BBC picked up best drama for Waking the Dead and best arts programme for George Orwell: A Life in Pictures.
ITV's Henry VIII took the top prize in the TV movie/mini-series category. Germany's Studio Hamburg got the gong for best comedy for Berlin, Berlin.
"In recent years, British programmes have been winning fewer International Emmys than in the early years of the awards. This year they made a major comeback," said Bruce Paisner, president of the International Academy of Arts and Sciences in the US, which organises the awards.
