Summary

COI synopsis: Pat Beta and Pharaoh Tembo, both from Zambia, have won a scientific competition in a magazine. The prize - a free trip to London. We follow our visitors as they go down and up: down to the underground train that carries London’s letters and packages, down to the underground sorting office where Pat and Pharaoh post their post-cards home, and up in a helicopter over the river Thames as it flows through the centre of London.
