Episode 1
The inside story of the alliance between Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon, the transformation of the SNP, and their very public feud.
Ten years after the Scottish independence referendum, this landmark two-part series reveals the inside story of a political partnership that took the SNP from a party on the fringes to one that achieved a level of electoral success that sent shockwaves through the British political establishment. Featuring interviews with both Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon, along with key allies and advisors such as John Swinney, Humza Yousaf, Liz Lloyd, Geoff Aberdein, Roseanna Cunningham and Kenny MacAskill, this series chronicles the history of the modern SNP and reveals how the party reshaped Scottish politics.
In this episode, the story begins in the immediate aftermath of the Scottish independence referendum. Alex Salmond resigns as both first minister of Scotland and leader of the SNP, and power is passed to Nicola Sturgeon, someone who has long been seen as Salmond鈥檚 protege.
