Ncuti Gatwa and David Tennant go head-to-head for BAFTA Scotland Audience Award
The two Doctors are nominated along with Abby Cook, Richard Gadd, Jack Lowden and Ashley Storrie.
Following the announcement of the nominations for this year's BAFTA Scotland Awards, one additional category has now been announced - and it sees two fan-favourite Doctor Who stars going head-to-head.
David Tennant and Ncuti Gatwa are both in the running to win this year's BAFTA Scotland Audience Award for Favourite Scot on Screen in partnership with Screen Scotland, which is the only category voted for by the public.
The duo are both nominated for their work on Doctor Who, while they go up against four more contenders - Abby Cook for Blue Peter, Richard Gadd for Baby Reindeer, Jack Lowden for Slow Horses and Ashley Storrie for Dinosaur.
The nominees were selected by an independent jury comprised of Scottish media and culture experts, with the category intended to recognise the key Scottish talent who have made an impact with audiences in the past year.
You can vote for your winner from the six nominees now, with the vote remaining open until 5pm on Wednesday 30th October.
