Vivienne's program is nominated for the publicly-voted TV Pick Award for "Best Daytime Talk Show". As the show is up for an award, they allow GMTV presenter Lynn Faulds Wood to film behind the scenes on a "catch-up" show. On the way to the awards ceremony, Vivienne discovers her football team are playing and so she and Jared go to watch them play instead. During the match, the awards ceremony is shown live and Vivienne wins the award.

Janey, a journalist from Daily Mail, informs Jared that she has evidence of him at a gay party where a young rent boy fell off a balcony and died. Miriam comes up with ideas for damage limitation. However, The Vivienne Vyle Show is being broadcast live to mark the end of the season and at the end of the show, Vivienne does an unexpected piece to the camera about the party and brings Jared on to admit he is an alcoholic, but does not mention he is gay.

When Vivienne reveals on her show that a man is not the father of his former girlfriend's child, he attacks her and in the ensuing brawl a security guard falls on her. She then ends up in the hospital and is on the verge of a mental breakdown. In her absence Fern Britton replaces her as the host of The Vivienne Vyle Show, while Helena sacks runner Abigail only for Vivienne to re-instate her.

Jennifer Saunders takes a sideways swipe at the talk show format. It's Ab Fab meets The Larry Sanders Show with quite a bit of Ricki Lake and Oprah thrown in for good measure. 'The Vivienne Vyle Show' is Britain's most loved, most watched and most talked about talk show. Vivienne Vyle is the show's host and she will do anything to maintain her celebrity status - her brand. She is not afraid to say exactly what she thinks and offer her own unique, frank advice.
