Peter Capaldi and Rebecca Front shared the glory at the British Comedy Awards.
Scots-born Capaldi was named Best TV Comedy Actor for his role as Malcolm Tucker in The Thick Of It, while Front won the Best TV Comedy Actress award for her portrayal of Nicola Murray in the political satire.
Her success meant there was no win for Olivia Colman, who was nominated in the category for two different roles - in Olympic satire Twenty Twelve and the sitcom Rev.
