5 Commissions Drama About Relationship Between Nicola Sturgeon and Peter Murrell
The 90-minute one-off will draw on Police Scotland evidence and interviews as Murrell serves a prison sentence for embezzling more than £400,000.
- Channel 5 commissioned a 90-minute factual drama titled 'To Nicola, Love Peter,' chronicling how former Scottish National Party chief executive Peter Murrell embezzled more than £400,000 from the party over a 12-year period.
- Murrell pled guilty to embezzling party funds earlier this year and was sentenced to more than five years in prison for his crimes as the former SNP chief executive.
- Court documents revealed Murrell purchased a £124,550 motorhome and £2,600 salt and pepper grinders using party funds, while Sturgeon maintained she was unaware of his actions until his guilty plea.
- Speaking at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe earlier this month, Sturgeon said she 'feels like a mug' for caring about her estranged husband and confirmed she will not visit him in prison.
- Bafta-Nominated director Misha Manson-Smith and writer Lucy Brydon are leading the production at Wonderhood Studios, with the drama expected to air on Channel 5 in 2027.
