THE First Minister may have taken on Andrew Neil in the run up to Thursday's election, but this week she took a grilling from an even tougher investigator ...
The BBC's Scot Squad team have put together a fantastic series of interviews with the Scottish party leaders ahead of the December 12 vote, and Nicola Sturgeon's is pretty brilliant.
In it, the SNP leader is given some pretty tough questioning from Archie Pepper - like whether she prefers old or new Irn-Bru, Lulu or The Proclaimers, and who she has muted on Twitter.
Archie Pepper, the Scot Squad’s cyber sleuth, preps @NicolaSturgeon for her one on one with the Chief.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
