At the start of the broadcast, Jane Garvey referred to it as "an interview with a right pig." The interview included feminist concerns, such as whether being in the acting profession was as difficult for "the maturing pig" as the older woman, and the negative connotations of being a diva, but Miss Piggy herself says she does not describe herself as a feminist.
