Hollywood star James McAvoy has revealed his love for cult Scottish TV shows River City and Still Game.
The X-Men actor said his grandparents keep him up-to-date on the latest hit shows but he likes to catch up on the BBC soap and comedy series when he returns home.
McAvoy was in Glasgow to present an award at the Scottish Baftas when he spoke about his favourite shows.
He said: "I manage to watch River City now and again and I'm highly delighted that Still Game is back with a few marvellous additions, it has to be said.
"Other than that it's just what my granny and granda tell me."
Asked if he would like a cameo appearance in the programmes, he laughed and said: "Aye, maybe."
The 37-year-old posed for dozens of pictures with screaming fans outside the Bafta ceremony and said he was happy to be attending as an award presenter rather than a nominee.
"This is much more relaxing than being up for an award.
"I find it hard to prepare a speech when I'm nominated so it's a lot easier being in this position."
Among those in the running for an award was Gary: Tank Commander's election special, which saw actor Greg McHugh interview Scotland's political party leaders before the people elected a new government.
McHugh said it may lead to a career change for him.
"If Newsnight want to employ me to really get to the bottom of the issues affecting the country as Gary Tank Commander then I'm totally up for it."
