How to watch Lesley Riddoch's exclusive leaders' interviews

THE National is set to launch a series of election interviews this week, led by legendary author and broadcaster Lesley Riddoch. 

Our star columnist sat down with the leaders of the major pro-independence parties to discuss the General Election and the biggest issues of the day.

While John Swinney was unavailable, SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn kindly joined the journalist for the special run of interviews.

In the run-up to the recordings, we invited readers to submit their questions to the party chiefs. Many of these questions are featured across the three videos, while Riddoch had plenty of her own ideas for grilling the politicians. 

Subscribers will be able to watch the full half-hour videos on Thursday, Friday and Saturday on our website, while we'll also be publishing written summaries on the corresponding days. 

Here's what to expect:

Thursday AM  – Lorna SlaterFriday AM – Alex SalmondSaturday AM – Stephen Flynn

These special features will be subscriber only, so make sure you're taking advantage of our most recent deals in order to access them ahead of July 4.

If you can't wait to watch these one-on-ones, remember we recently had Professor Richard Murphy interview the economics spokespersons for the pro-indy parties. 

You can catch his chats with Drew Hendry, Ross Greer and Neale Hanvey here.
