Channel 5 has announced a new drama series, 'To Nicola, Love Peter,' which will chronicle the events surrounding the embezzlement of £400,000 from the Scottish National Party (SNP). The production team behind the series is the same group responsible for 'Power: The Downfall of Huw Edwards.' The narrative centers on the 12-year period during which Peter Murrell, the former chief executive of the SNP and husband of Nicola Sturgeon, allegedly diverted party funds for personal use.

The drama is set to examine specific expenditures, including the purchase of a £124,550 motorhome and luxury household items, such as salt and pepper grinders costing over £2,600. Peter Murrell was arrested in 2023 as part of an ongoing investigation into party finances. The series intends to explore the personal and professional fallout for Nicola Sturgeon, who has stated she was unaware of her husband's actions until after the investigation began. While the show is framed as a dramatization of these events, it highlights the intersection of the couple's private relationship and the public financial scandal that significantly impacted the SNP's reputation. The project aims to provide a detailed look at how these financial irregularities were concealed and the eventual discovery of the misappropriated funds.
