Janey Godley cried over daughter's Bafta Scotland nomination

Richard Gadd, the creator of Netflix hit Baby Reindeer, and Ashley Storrie, the woman behind BBC comedy Dinosaur, are leading the nominations for the Bafta Scotland awards.

Both Gadd and Storrie were listed in the best writer category as well as picking up nominations for their acting.

Dinosaur, in which Storrie plays a neurodiverse palaeontologist, was also nominated in two other categories.

The winners will be announced on 17 November.

Baby Reindeer - Gadd's account of being stalked by a woman for several years and being sexually abused by a male TV industry figure - has been one of the most talked about shows of the year.

However, its claim to be "a true story" has made it controversial, and the real-life woman who allegedly inspired the Martha character is currently suing Netflix for defamation, negligence and privacy violations.

Despite the controversy, it took the Emmy Awards in the US by storm last month, winning four trophies at the ceremony in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, Dinosaur has been a hit for Storrie in her first lead acting role.

Storrie, who has autism, said the role enabled her to “unmask” in real life.

She said the programme differed from other shows featuring an autistic lead character because "it's not all doom and gloom".
