Armitage's poem-film Out Of The Blue won the Arts Documentary category at the Royal Television Society Awards on the 13th March 07. This is his second RTS Award, and joins a BAFTA and an Ivor Novello Award in what is fast becoming a very full trophy cabinet for his media work. Last year he won the Gold Award at the Spoken Word Awards for his BBC-commissioned dramatisation of The Odyssey. He told this website he was "proud of the film" and "pleased that channel Five had been so adventurous in commissioning and broadcasting it."  He also praised the film's director, Ned Williams.  Out of the Blue commemorates the events of 9/11 five years after the attacks, and is written as a dramatised elegy from the point of view of a British trader trapped in the North Tower. Elegiac rather than political, it uses a great deal of archive footage, some of it not previously broadcast on network television. The poem itself will be published by Enitharmon Press next year, along with two other poems commissioned for radio and television projects
