     2   MS. STEEL:  I think, if it is any help, firstly, there is a
     3        transcript of a lot of the programme documents, 118 in our
     4        Defendants' original list of documents.  Within that
     5        document it says the pay levels at the store -- and it is
     6        related to the programme because it has the people that
     7        appear on the programme -- under 18s £1.62; over 18 is
     8        £2.17.  So far as I can tell, that would be roughly around
     9        1987.
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What is the point you are making at the
    12        moment?
    13
    14   MS. STEEL:  Mr. Rampton wanted to know roughly when the film was
    15        made.
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am sorry, I did not realise.
    18
    19   MR. MORRIS:  It seems like 1987.
    20
    MR. RAMPTON:  Your Lordship should also know, I believe it to be
    22        right, although it was made for Channel 4, I do not believe
    23        it was actually shown to the public.
    24
    25   MS. STEEL:  Does that have any relevance to the court?
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Make sure you remember -- Mr. Rampton may if
    28        you do not -- when you call Miss Tobin you ask her when it
    29        was filmed, apart from anything else.
    30
    31   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, we would need to know before that if she
    32        is coming to court.  At the moment the information we have
    33        about her is she is one of those to whom Mr. Morris spoke
    34        sometime this year.  That is all we know.
    35
    36   MR. MORRIS:  We know anyone I spoke to is coming.
    37
    38   MR. RAMPTON:  If she is coming, then we need to know her dates
    39        because we shall need to deal with her.
    40
    MS. STEEL:  I am quite sure, since the Plaintiffs cooperated in
    42        the making of this film and various of their Executives
    43        were interviewed, that they could quite easily find out,
    44        but we will do our best.
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You are still entitled to ask particulars of
    47        what someone else is producing.  So, find out as soon as
    48        you can between what dates it was actually made, i.e. the
    49        filming or interviewing took place.
    50 
    51   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, what I need to know from the Defendants 
    52         -- it is their obligation because it is their witness -- 
    53        are precise dates Miss Tobin worked at the Strand and at
    54        Croydon, as she says she did.
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Find out between what dates the filming was
    57        done and the interviews were made and the dates which you
    58        have just been asked for.  It should not be too difficult,
    59        and I am sure you would like to know yourselves as soon as
    60        possible ---
