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".

Lucy, fully aware that her husband was the Saxon Master, accepted a 20 minute interview only to leave Vivien to be killed by the Toclafane. (TV: The Sound of Drums)
