Channel 5 commissions a new drama centered on Nicola Sturgeon and Peter Murrell’s political downfall. Several outlets report that the broadcaster is producing a one-off TV project focused on their relationship and the fallout from Murrell’s actions.
The Daily Record says the production is a 90-minute drama titled “To Nicola, Love Peter.” The Glasgow Times describes it as a drama exploring their downfall, while The Scotsman characterizes it as focusing on Murrell’s embezzlement. The Daily Mail adds that the story is presented as a “factual drama” and frames it as a Shakespearean-style narrative around Murrell’s alleged misuse of funds.
Across reports, the common elements are that Channel 5 has ordered the project, it concerns Sturgeon and Murrell, and it connects to Murrell’s financial misconduct. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis—some stress the personal angle of the marriage, others focus on the embezzlement and the framing of the drama’s factual basis.
