David Tennant appeared on the red carpet with Gary Lamont, who was nominated in the audience award for favourite Scot on screen for his performance in the TV series Rivals, based on the late Jilly Cooper’s raunchy novel.
Tennant said his wife urged him to take on the role, telling him “it’s going to be a massive hit”.
Commenting on the Bafta Scotland awards, Tennant said: “Scotland punches above its weight culturally throughout Britain and throughout the world, and I think it’s good to boast about that now and again and go, you know what, this is an industry that we are doing well in, let’s be proud of it.”
The award for single documentary went to BBC Scotland’s Kids on the Psychiatric Ward.
The BBC Disclosure investigation, presented by Mark Daly, focused on allegations of serious abuse at an adolescent psychiatric unit in Glasgow.
