Dave Myers' return to the road has been named as the TV moment of the year.

The award comes as part of the Edinburgh TV Festival, which announced the news on Thursday, August 22.

The Hairy Bikers' 'Coming Home for Christmas' aired last December, just two months before Dave's death following a two-year battle with cancer.

The festive special gave an insight into his struggles with the disease as well as chronicling the treatments he went through.

The scene that particularly captured viewers' hearts focuses on Dave being well enough to get back on a motorbike for the first time, eventually being able to reunite with his best friend Si King on the road.

Reacting to the award win, Si said: "It was a very important show for us to make, so thank you to all the members of the public who voted, we're enormously appreciative of it.

"And thank you to the BBC and South Shore Productions for giving us the opportunity to make the show.

"And thank you to our lovely, lovely crew, who we have worked with for so many years now - the list is endless because it doesn't happen unless you have a great crew behind you, and Dave and I always have."

Making the moment extra special is the fact that the helmet and jacket sported by Dave in the scene was also worn by Lili Myers, his wife, during the Dave Day celebrations in Barrow earlier this year.

Originally speaking after the nomination, Si added: "It's always wonderful to be celebrated by your industry, but what makes this award so special is that it's the one award in the whole festival that's voted for by the public.

"It was a very special programme for us all and I'm so glad it has meant as much to you as it has done to all of us who were involved."
