One of the break-out stars of harrowing TV drama Chernobyl won Best Actor at the BAFTA Scotland awards - and dedicated it to the victims of the nuclear accident.

In the acclaimed series, Alex Ferns played miner Andrei Glukhov who led his men to prevent further disaster at the nuclear plant.

Accepting the award at a ceremony in Glasgow, Ferns, who was born in Lennoxtown, joked: "Just when you think your career is f*****, along comes Chernobyl."

He added: "I'd also like to commemorate Chernobyl and the people that put their lives on the line.

"That's what this is all about, I don't care about anything else."

Other winners included Trainspotting actress Kelly Macdonald who won the Best Actress, Television award for her role in Scottish drama The Victim. She said she was "so privileged" to play her character, Anna Dean.

Scottish comedy Still Game won the Outstanding Contribution to Television award, presented by Line Of Duty Star Martin Compston and actor and director David Hayman who have both starred in the show.

Compston praised Still Game as "the best Scottish TV show ever made" while First Minister Nicola Sturgeon also paid tribute.

Co-creator Ford Kiernan said: "Twenty-one years it's been, it's been ages - it just means a lot to finally get that sort of recognition at the end.

"We've had a couple of BAFTAs before, oh yes, but we're chuffed to bits to be picking this up tonight. It's obviously the work of a whole lot of people."

Among the other presenters at the event at the Doubletree Hilton hotel, hosted by broadcaster Edith Bowman, were Outlander stars Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe and Derry Girls stars Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Nicola Coughlan.
