In 1993, he caused a large amount of controversy after ITV 's '' Emmerdale '' brought him in to think of a way to attract larger viewing figures to the Soap Opera . His solution was a Plane Crash over the village, killing and wounding many residents. The timing of the storyline — close to the fifth anniversary of the Lockerbie Disaster — caused complaints. In 1989, Phil Redmond was awarded the post of Honorary Professor of Media Studies at Liverpool John Moores University , where he is encouraging a new, practically-oriented, Media Studies course. He was awarded the CBE ( Commander Of The Order Of The British Empire ) in the 2004 Queen's Birthday Honours List for services to drama. EXTERNAL LINK
