First Minister Nicola Sturgeon faced one of her most challenging interviews to date when TV star Gary: Tank Commander popped by with a set of probing questions.
Scotland's newest political interviewer, played by comedy actor Greg McHugh, grilled the First Minister on everything from a subsidy on cheesy pasta to a potential revolution in Alloa.

The SNP leader even discussed presidential candidate Donald Trump, telling the star 'America will dingy him before I do'.

The First Minister was the first in a series of six interviews that will see the spray-tanned squaddie question each of Scotland's party leaders in the run up to May's Holyrood election.
Clips from each interview will be released online as part of BBC Scotland's new social media comedy series Short Stuff, before being aired on BBC2 on April 24 at 10pm.
