As the scene opens, two ladies are showing drinking tea on the lawns of a stately home whilst a small orchestra plays for them.

The stately home is Osterley House and will be featured again later in the programme.
After a plane is shown landing, an excited Lucy looks out of the plane's window.

They then use a series of photos and voice-overs to show Lucy passing through the airport terminal.
Talking to the Customs Officer, Lucy comments on her upcoming day in London:

"Listen to this, Top Drawer Conveyance, my own personal tour guide!"

As she leaves the airport she meets Anthony Fitz-Faversham, her 'personal tour guide.'
After getting into somebody else's car, Tony directs Lucy to her "Top Drawer Conveyance," a motorcycle and side-car! She is somewhat unsure of this particular method of transport but is convinced when Tony tells her that:


"Not even the Queen herself can see London they way is should be seen, by side-car!"
As the opening credits roll, Lucy and Tony drive around various streets in London, including famous landmarks like Tower Bridge, Picadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square.
Opening theme song: On A Wonderful Day Like Today
On a wonderful day like today,
I defy any clouds to appear in the sky
Dare any raindrops to plop in my eye,
On a wonderful day like today.

On a wonderful morning like this,
When the sun is as big as a yellow balloon.
Even the sparrows are singing in tune,
On a wonderful morning like this.

This my friend, is only the beginning,
Such a sweet beginning too.
Now at last, I see a chance of winning,
See a chance of breaking through.

Who can say, today may live in history,
As long as there's a history book.
Yesterday the world was still a mystery,
Today it has a different look.

So my friend, lets send the old world spinning,
Change is what I recommend.

Come on my friend,
let's see this sweet beginning through,
To the bitter end,
Through to the bitter end.

There is a beautiful land,
Where all of your dreams come true.
It's all tied up in a rainbow,
All shiny and new.
But it's not easy to find,
No mattter what you do.

This my friend, is only the beginning,
Such a sweet beginning too.

Come on my friend,
Let's see this sweet beginning through,
To the bitter end
Through to the bitter end.
