Salmond/Sturgeon film: 'This lot deserve each other. What a bunch'
Although he has had a show at the Fringe, Alex Salmond is not known for his comedy skills. Your next Netflix video is safe, Kevin Bridges. Buy your mum another bungalow, Peter Kay. But in the second part of Salmond and Sturgeon: a Troubled Union (BBC Scotland, Wednesday), the former First Minister is the cause of several big laughs. Unintentionally, of course. “I don’t really do hurt feelings very much,” he says trying to sum up the Salmond-Sturgeon schism, and the fact these two one-time titans of the Scottish political scene are now on “no-speaks”, like a pair of quarrelling teenagers. Hilarious, right?
