Sitcom named most popular show

Still Game was named the most popular show in Scotland at the country’s Baftas last night.

The sitcom, starring Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill as two pensioners, took the audience award for the second year running.

And co-star Jane McCarry, who plays busybody Isa Drennan, was named best actress.

Sketch show Blow Out, starring circuit comedians Susan Calman, Greg McHugh and Will Andrews, was named best comedy or entertainment show.

Channel 4 has so far made only one pilot episode of the programme, which aired last month.
