Vivien Rook met Lucy Saxon at 10 Downing Street, ostensibly to request a 20 minute interview for a front page profile piece on "Britain's First Lady" and "The Power Behind the Throne". As she explained to Tish Jones, it did not require her attendance as it only involved "hair, and clothes and nonsense." In reality, however, this was a ruse for Vivien to bring her findings on Harold Saxon to his wife. (TV: The Sound of Drums)
