JANEY Godley’s daughter has revealed her mum would be fuming not to get to play a character inspired by her in hit BBC show Dinosaur.Comedian Ashley Storrie is the co-creator and writer behind the Bafta and RTS award-winning drama which returns to TV screens for a second series this week.

Eagle-eyed fans will be able to spot tributes to Ashley's stand-up comic mum Janey, who became a household name after her voiceovers to Nicola Sturgeon's Covid briefings and died of ovarian cancer in 2024 at 63.

Storrie, 39, said her mum would have been delighted with the new series’ character named after her - but raging not to get in on the act.
