The Trial of Alex Salmond on BBC2 was a very iffy piece of work which verged on a TV retrial following his acquittal. Kirsty Wark, who clearly loathes Salmond, had this one in the bag in anticipation of a guilty verdict. The result was a shoddy re-edit sailing close to the winds of contempt of court. Highlights were the faint praise from Salmond’s friends: “He’s very tactile” and “I’ve met Bill Clinton and Alec has a similar kind of charisma.”
