WHO'S the biggest clown in Holyrood?
That's the kind of hard-hitting question Scottish political leaders are facing as they're grilled by a no-nonsense police chief.
The broadcaster has brought Chief Miekelson (played by Absolutely's Jack Docherty) into play for the Holyrood vote, after his colleague's agenda-setting grillings of the party leaders ahead of 2019's General Election.

The new programme, which will air on BBC Scotland at 10pm on April 29, sees the chief take on the leaders of some of Scotland's political parties one-on-one.
The Green (aka Lorna Slater) is quizzed about her circus training and is asked who would drive the clown car in Holyrood – shock: it's Murdo Fraser.
LibDem Willie Rennie's newfound fondness for big chairs and big chess sets is on the agenda, as is Labour's Anas Sarwar's previous career as a dentist.
SNP First Minister Nicola Sturgeon talks haircuts and conspiracy theories.

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!
