A supposedly respectful journalist whose request to feature Lynda for a piece in her Sunday paper's business section is granted by Victoria. Meridith's focus is, again supposedly, on two Midlands football clubs Harchester and Leicester who are due to face each other at the Lair that day. When Harchester's loss of 2-1 is the latest in a string of bad results, two sponsors tear strips off Lynda until she has to take leave to compose herself in the ladies. Meridith acts supportive to Lynda, and while reeling from the experience Lynda lets her guard down and tells Meridith what she doesn't like about the job. Thus, Lynda is shocked when Meridith's piece amounts to Lynda badmouthing the sponsors and the players. We do not learn how Meridith's piece on Leicester went.
