My name is Victoria Winters. My journey is beginning – a journey that I hope will open the doors of life and link my past with my future. A journey that will bring me to a dark place to the edge of the sea high atop Widow’s Hill; and a house called Collinwood. A world never known, with people I’ve never met. People who, tonight, are still only shadows in my mind but who will soon fill the days and nights of my tomorrow…
It seems today that all you see is violence in movies and sex on tv, but where are those good old-fashioned values on which we used to rely? Lucky there’s a family guy, lucky there’s a man who positively can do all the things that make us laugh and cry – he’s our family guy!
You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the facts of life, the facts of life.

The year is 1987 and NASA launches the last of America’s deep space probes. In a freak mishap, Ranger 3 and its pilot Captain William ‘Buck’ Rogers are blown out of their trajectory into an orbit which freezes his life support system and returns Buck Rogers to Earth five hundred years later.
This is it, this is it. This is life, the one you get, so go and have a ball. This is it, this is it. Straight ahead, and rest assured you can’t be sure at all. So while you’re here enjoy the view, keep on doing what you do, so hold on tight we’ll muddle through one day at a time, one day at a time. So up on your feet, up on your feet – somewhere there’s music playing. Don’t you worry none, we’ll just take it like it comes, one day at a time, one day at a time.
Lady Godiva was a freedom rider, she didn’t care if the whole world looked. Joan of Arc with the Lord to guide her, she was a sister who really cooked. Isadora was the first bra burner, ain’t you glad she showed up. And when the country was falling apart Betsy Ross got it all sewed up. And then there’s Maude. That old compromisin’, enterprisin’, anything but tranquilizing, right-on Maude.
