     1        production of a nice, hopefully timeless family classic.
     2        This particular one was produced by the Children's
     3        Television Workshop, which is the same group that produces
     4        Sesame Street in the United States.  So they prepared,
     5        I believe it was a half hour or hour programme -- I am not
     6        sure -- and this was the ronald mcdonald Family Theatre;
     7        and that would take place in the evening, I believe it was
     8        somewhere around 7 or 8 o'clock, and we would be inviting
     9        you and your whole family to "please come and watch this".
    10
    11   Q.   Would it have commercial breaks during its showing?
    12        A.  It has commercial breaks, but instead of having
    13        commercial breaks, our commercials we used -- I think you
    14        will see them a bit later -- have to do with Ronald
    15        McDonald and reading, and other things that Ronald is
    16        talking about.
    17
    18   Q.   Can you remind me, Mr. Green, how much more of this tape
    19        there is, roughly speaking, do you think?
    20        A.  I think there is about ten more minutes.
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think we had better break now.  We will
    23        resume at two o'clock.
    24
    25                         (The short adjournment)
    26
    27                                                         2 p.m.
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes?
    29
    30   MR. RAMPTON:  Can you please continue with your exposition,
    31        Mr. Green?
    32        A.  I think we left off with the ronald mcdonald Children's
    33        Theatre.  So we will continue.  I think we left off with
    34        that one.
    35
    36   Q.   Yes, I think so.
    37        A.  I am not sure what this is.

    THE WITNESS:   This would be a close to the toys that we talked
    42        about earlier when Ronald was searching for the
    43        Golden Arches.  This would have been the adult version of
    44        that 15 second close.
    45
    46        This one, again, we would -- this is to adults, and it
    47        would talk about it from $1.99 point of view.  It would be
    48        the same ad we saw at the beginning, earlier, so I will
    49        fast forward through those.  I think this is similar, but
    50        I am not sure. 
    51 
    52                  (The next advertisement was shown) 
    53
    54   THE WITNESS:   So that would be a 15 second open that talks
    55        about the search, and then the 15 second close that uses
    56        the items, that would be the toys during that time period.
    57
    58   Q.   Can you remember -- it may not be important -- whether the
    59        search team toys arose out of the idea that McDonald lost
    60        his Arches, or----
