A documentary following frontline Fife Council workers has scooped a BAFTA Scotland award.
The production team from IWC Media and BBC One picked up a gong in the Features and Factual Series category for The Council, which was screened in December last year.
With three awards, T2 Trainspotting was the big winner at the ceremony in Glasgow on Sunday attended by stars of film and television.
Fife Council chief executive Steve Grimmond congratulated the programme makers and also staff who had taken part in the three-part programme.
He said: “I have congratulated the staff who took part in the programme for being part of this success and want to thank them again for being such a great example of the hard-working and committed workforce we have at Fife Council.”
The series gave an insight into the daily lives of housing officers, social workers and environmental staff as they tackled a range of issues faced by residents.
In the first episode, housing officer Karen was seen entering an abandoned council house which had been heavily neglected.
Karen says “brace yourself” to the camera before going into the house and describing the smell as “ripe”.
The series also introduced viewers to housebound Motorhead fan Davey Rowbotham.
Davey, who sadly passed away in January aged 60, suffered from osteoarthritis, deep vein thrombosis and emphysema and was shown struggling to get down the stairs to his flat.
He was later moved into a bungalow and described being “chuffed tae bits” with his new home.
Mr Grimmond added: “We hoped that taking part in the documentary would give the public an insight into the trials and tribulations of trying to deliver a service to 370,330 residents, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“The documentary was largely well-received and I think gave the public a greater understanding of what we are trying to do here.”
