Just as the audiance is becomming angry, Kate saves the day with an acapella version of [Who Needs It ?]. 
Success follows with a record deal [Top Of The Wheel]. The record company are insistant that the band attend some major events for publicity, including Rock Against 1984 in Notting Hill. As the band are preparing to leave, they are confronted by a Nazi march which leads to a riot [Blackman] during which a protestor is killed in front of Kate. 
Tension builds within the band as pressure is put onto them to get an album out on the wave of publicity from the riot, despite Kate's exhaustion and failing health. The decision is made to get a professional producer, Bob Woods (Jon Finch), in to try and smoothe the process [Who Calls The Tune].
Under the guidance of Woods, Kate makes a video.  But the stress is getting to her and she is perscribed some pills to keep her going.  Danny starts to get jealous of Wood's intreat in Kate and in the end quits as the manager of Breaking Glass. [Will You ?].
