Day 188 - 15 Nov 95 - Page 45
1 Q. Would you like to look, please, at page 18 of your notes,
2 one which starts "Vox pops with crew"?
3 A. Yes.
4
5 Q. "Monday rap sessions. Samantha West was in especially for
6 the rap"; and then you write in your notes: "About
7 15 minutes before rap was due to begin, Almaz and Michael
8 were looking" -- and you said this morning you thought it
9 was Michael who gave the order?
10 A. Yes.
11
12 Q. "...were looking for people to attend it, because some of
13 the people chosen by them had not come in especially for
14 it. Hammy volunteered. Hammy is about to go on his first
15 course as Floor Manager, but has not gone yet. Almaz
16 said, 'No, you have to make up your mind whether it was
17 crew or manager.'"
18
19 Do you think it was Hamid you were referring to in your
20 statement?
21 A. No, I think it was somebody else. But, I mean, I would
22 not -- I can remember generally some specific things with
23 the crew, but I cannot remember at this stage exactly every
24 name of which member of the crew did everything at every
25 instant.
26
27 Q. That is why I asked you to look at the notes, because it
28 was nearer the time?
29 A. Yes.
30
31 Q. There is nothing in the note about any crew member being
32 ordered to go to the rap session, is there?
33 A. Well, I think the implication is that, before it was
34 due to start, Almaz and Michael were looking for people to
35 attend.
36
37 Q. I understand that. But one way to do that is to ask for
38 volunteers, it is not?
39 A. It is. But, I mean, I recall very recall very clearly
40 this crew member being told to attend the rap session.
41
42 Q. But you did not write it in the note?
43 A. I did not write it in the notes at the time, or I did
44 not write it in these notes which are here. It is not to
45 say that I did not write it in the notes at the time.
46
47 Q. Finally, then -----
48 A. I would like to point out that these notes are what
49 were left after three moves, after -- I mean, several years
50 after the film had been made, or some time after the film
51 had been made, and after three moves of house, these were
52 the notes that I happen to have left. They are not all the
53 notes that I took at the time and passed on to the
54 producer.
55
56 Q. I understand that. As you probably know, we cannot make
57 contact with the producer, Jane Gabriel.
58 A. I did not know that.
59
60 Q. Finally, Miss Tobin, could you please turn to page 13 of
