This new four-part series will challenge experienced politicians and military minds to respond to a high-stakes scenario. Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and ex-Conservative minister Michael Gove will lead a fictional UK government facing a Russian attack on British soil. They will hold Cobra-style emergency meetings, with Gove as Prime Minister and Sturgeon as his deputy.
