1 important, as the TV AM arose afresh, for instance, in
2 1988.

4 MS. STEEL: (To the witness) The only other thing is just,
5 because 1989 and 1990 are probably particularly important
6 years, I do not know whether you could just look through
7 those charts and confirm that, in all the regions, there
8 were more weeks of television advertising aimed at children
9 than at adults, for each of the regions -- page 263.
10
11 MR. JUSTICE BELL: He does not have to confirm it, if we can
12 actually look. He does not have to go through the exercise
13 of turning page over page. I have made a note that you
14 seek the make a point to that effect.
15
16 MS. STEEL: Right. Can I just ask about satellite television?
17 You are now advertising on satellite television, are not
18 you?
19 A. Yes.
20
21 Q. And is that mainly directed at children?
22 A. Yes. It has been used that way, mainly.
23
24 Q. Have you done any advertising at adults on satellite

26 A. I do not recall. We have been using it for a while. I

33 A. I do not know. We were up -- it was about a year after

38 A. I do not know. I would be guessing.
39
40 Q. At least a couple of years, anyway?
41 A. Yes. I am not even sure if we have been continuous
42 through that period. We may have come off and gone back
43 on.
44
45 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The percentages of expenditure on television
46 include satellite, do they?
47 A. Yes.
48
49 MS. STEEL: At least since it started, because you are not sure
50 when it started?
51
52 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. (Pause) What is the problem?
53
54 MS. STEEL: Actually, I have kind of come to the end of this
55 bit, and I am just trying to work out whether there was
56 anything else in this that I wanted to bring up.
57
58 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just sit down and think about it for a
59 moment. I suggest you come back and have a look at it in
60 the lunch hour, because it really is not productive to look
