What happens

The Vanessa Show is a British chat show presented by Vanessa Feltz which was broadcast on BBC One from January to July 1999. It was cancelled following a scandal revealed by the Daily Mirror newspaper, in which the programme was found to have used paid actors as guests. The format was similar to that of Vanessa, Feltz's previous daytime show that ran on ITV from 1994 to 1998. An edition of the show, broadcast on 10 March, was interrupted by a male streaker. This occurred during an interview with Alvin Hall, presenter of BBC Two's personal finance show Your Money or Your Life. The lads' magazine Front later claims responsibility for the stunt.
