1 which is why I asked what it was -- now we know that it was
2 probably patties -- is that you are not shown what it was
3 in the film.
4
5 MR. MORRIS: I see.
6
7 MR. RAMPTON: Yes. Can I go back. What I was asking you was,
8 it was a matter of deliberate agreement between you, the
9 film makers, and McDonald's that you should use two of the
10 busiest restaurants in the country?
11 A. Yes. We went to look at a third store which was not as
12 busy as those two stores.
13
14 Q. Is that the one in East Grinstead?
15 A. When I say East Grinstead, I really cannot remember.
16 We drove somewhere into Surrey.
17
18 Q. It does not really matter at all. East Grinstead is in
19 Sussex, anyway, but never mind.
20 A. Well, Sussex then.
21
22 Q. And that you tried to film, when you filmed the restaurant
23 in operation, at busy times?
24 A. We filmed at quiet times as well.
25
26 Q. But what is shown in the film -- if you can remember --
27 seemed to be very busy times, did they not?
28 A. They were the busy peak periods, yes. But it was 24
29 hours in the day; we did go through the whole 24 hour
30 process.
31
32 Q. Where we see scenes in the film -- and I expect you
33 remember these, because they are quite vivid -----
34
35 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can we just pause a moment? (Pause) Yes.
36
37 MR. RAMPTON: Where we see scenes in the film of what -- I do
38 not know, what do you call those descriptive bits in the
39 side of a transcript?
40 A. These are indicating the visuals side.
41
42 Q. Yes, indicating the visuals?
43 A. On the left-hand side, it is indicating what is
44 happening visually.
45
46 Q. Visually or orally, I suppose?
47 A. No. I think this is all visually. On the left-hand
48 side, those comments are all describing visually, I think.
49
50 Q. What about a word like hubbub? "General hubbub" it says?
51 A. General hubbub, yes, that is -----
52
53 Q. It is a combination, is it not?
54 A. Yes.
55
56 Q. It is general description of what is being shown on the
57 film, where there is not any what we might call discernible
58 dialogue going on; is that right?
59 A. Yes.
