Comedy. The renewal group has to respond to rumours that Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman is about to leave the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ for a rival broadcaster.

The renewal group led by head of values Ian Fletcher has to respond to rumours that Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman is about to leave the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ for a rival broadcaster. Is there a way of preventing this happening? When they offer a hosting job on On Your Bike, a new interview format, it looks like they might have found a solution.

Meanwhile ex-intern Will's attempts to get a celebrity face to help launch Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Me, the new online platform, have come back to bite him and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ. The celebrity in question thought they were being asked to pose for a selfie and didn't realise they were being used to endorse a viral campaign and consequently the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ finds itself on the receiving end of a million-pound lawsuit. Will's job looks to be in serious danger.

With the charter renewal process requiring the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ to show they can do more for less, head of news Neil Reid is asked to see whether his main news presenters would consider doubling up and presenting the weather forecast as well. And in a landscape where leaving parties are becoming increasingly frequent, Ben and Jerry discover that their jobs have been 're-imagined as non-existing going forward'.
