Former Socialist MSP Tommy Sheridan has returned home after serving just over a third of a three year jail sentence for perjury. 

After a year behind bars, Sheridan will spend the next six months on a home detention curfew.

The 47-year-old vowed that the fight to clear his name would go on.  And he also signalled that he plans a rapid return to Scottish politics - by joining the campaign for independence.  

Scotland Tonight discussed th controversial politician with his biographer Professor Gregor Gall and the Scottish Express columnist Dorothy-Grace Elder who corresponded with the former MSP during his time in jail.
