Yes/No: Inside the Indyref

Series 1

From the Date to the Debates

Duration: 59 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC One Scotland HD

During the first debate in the Indy Ref campaign Alistair Darling stood and looked across at his opponent Alex Salmond. 'I thought he had lost the plot.' Instead the SNP leader was merely attempting a bold new approach to argument, one involving alien invasion. Salmond explains, 'it's like having a great idea last thing at night - less of a good idea in the morning.' The journey from the announcement of the date of the referendum to the key debates is the subject of the second episode of the series and is a journey that involves a bitter fight over the pound, robust debate and when it comes to cyber abuse, and the judicious use of toilet paper to make a political point. The 2014 referendum balanced hope and fear in equal measure and in this episode political players, household names and grass roots campaigners tell the inside story of a political revolution.
