She has appeared in more than 50 TV shows, including episodes of Rev, Midsomer Murders, Still Open All Hours, New Tricks, Doc Martin, Twenty Twelve, Lovesick, frequent collaborator Julia Davis' dark comedy Nighty Night, Jack Dee's Lead Balloon, Steve Coogan I'm Alan Partridge and Mid Morning Matters, Saxondale, and Miranda Hart's Christmas Unwrapped and Miranda. In 2014, Pepperdine played Harry Hill's housekeeper Mrs Flittersnoop in The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm on BBC One. She played the regular role of midwife Anna Nikolayevna in both series of A Young Doctor's Notebook.
Her theatre work includes the role of Mrs Candour in Deborah Warner's 2011 production of The School for Scandal at the Barbican Centre.
In 2014, she co-wrote, co-produced and starred in Puppy Love, again with Joanna Scanlan (with whom she established a production company, George and George). Pepperdine is an executive producer on HBO's adaption of Getting On, and reprised her role as Pippa Moore in the season three episode "Am I Still Me?".
In 2017 Pepperdine appeared in comedy feature Eaten by Lions alongside Antonio Aakeel and Jack Carroll, directed by Jason Wingard.
In 2018, she appeared in the Sky Atlantic sitcom Sally4Ever. She also appeared in the 2018 film Johnny English Strikes Again.
In 2019, it was announced that Pepperdine was working on a new TV show, an adaptation of Lissa Evans' comic novel Old Baggage. Chortle - New Suffragette Comedy for Vicki Pepperdine and Joanna Scanlan In that same year, she appeared as Aunt Sally in the BBC children's miniseries Worzel Gummidge.
