The winners of the Broadcast Digital Awards 2023 - for prize giving ceremony for TV programmes on non-terrestrial channels - were announced last night.

Disney+ comedy Extraordinary was picked by judges as the winner of the Best Comedy Programme trophy.

Created and written by Emma Moran, the show is set in a world where everyone has a superpower, apart from Jen, a painfully self-aware 25-year-old woman, who is still waiting to get hers.

The comedy stars Mairead Tyers as Jen, with the cast list also featuring Sofia Oxenham, Bilal Hasna, Luke Rollason and Siobhán McSweeney.

British Comedy Guide revealed in January that filming has already taken place on a second series.

Extraordinary was shortlisted in the category alongside Ellie & Natasia, Funny Woman, Live At The Moth Club, Plebs and We Are Not Alone.
