Ashley Storrie wins Audience Award at BAFTA Scotland Awards 2024
Ashley Storrie has won the Audience Award at the BAFTA Scotland Awards 2024 for her role in the sitcom Dinosaur.
In the public-voted category - subtitled "favourite Scot in screen" - she was up against Blue Peter presenter Abby Cook, Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd, Doctor Who stars Ncuti Gatwa and David Tennant and Slow Horses actor Jack Lowden.
Upon accepting the prize at last night's awards ceremony (17th November), she joked: "Two Dr Whos, a slow horse, a blue peter and a baby reindeer - I think it's safe to say I'm just the best at Facebook.
"This award was voted for by the people who watch our telly and I just want to thank all the women on Facebook - all the Isas, all the Sandras, all the Agneses, all the Tams and all the Jims in Netherlee."
She added: "I'd really like to thank our Dinosaur team - I don't know if making telly is meant to be like that, because I've never really done it before and when yous all talk about it you make it seem awfully traumatic but that was a delight, so I don't know what yous doing wrong."
Referencing the recent death of her mother Janey Godley, she concluded: "I've been coming here since I was 15 with my mummy - we snuck in to our first Baftas. We went the afterparty and a lady came up to us and said 'who are you?' and my mum lied and said Elaine C. Smith and she just went 'OK'."
Meanwhile in the 'Best Writer - Film/Television' category, Storrie and Matilda Curtis won an award for their scripts.
In the acting categories, Doon Mackichan won for Two Doors Down and David Tennant picked up an award for There She Goes.
