The No campaign eventually won the referendum by 55% to 45%.Better Together, which was fighting for Scotland to remain part of the UK, had started the two-and-half year campaign as much as 20 points ahead in opinion polls.Douglas Alexander, who was a Labour MP and senior Better Together figure, tells the programme"something was shifting".According to Andrew Dunlop, special adviser to Prime Minster David Cameron, the government was so concerned it conducted its own daily tracking poll.
There was"overwhelming panic" from everyone involved with Better Together, according to Ruth Davidson, leader of the Scottish Conservatives. The pair engaged in a lengthy exchange during a press conference and Robinson claimed in his news story that Mr Salmond"didn't answer" the question.
