 Telewest Communications plc Announces Appointment of 
 Acting Chief Executive Officer and
Other Management Changes 
  
 Telewest Communications plc announces the appointment
of Barry R. Elson as acting chief executive officer. Mr. Elson has also been appointed as acting chief executive officer and a member of the board of directors of Telewest Global, Inc. Telewest Global will become the new holding company for the
businesses that currently constitute Telewest Communications following the company’s planned financial restructuring. 
  
 Mr. Elson replaces Charles M. Burdick, who will be leaving the company and has resigned from the board of directors. 
  
 Telewest Communications has been informed by creditors’ representatives that Cob
Stenham, chairman of Telewest Communications, will be appointed chairman of the board of directors of Telewest Global. 
  
 Cob Stenham, chairman of Telewest, said: 
  
 “On behalf of the board, we would like to thank Charles Burdick for his years of service and for leading the company to the threshold of the implementation of a
financial restructuring. We are grateful for all he has done since he became managing director in 2002.” 
  
 Charles Burdick said: 
  
 “I want to thank
everyone, especially the Telewest management team, for helping me lead the company through this difficult period of financial and operational restructuring. Although I have enjoyed my time at the company, it is time for me to pursue other
opportunities and pass the leadership to Barry Elson whom I have no doubt will do a great job.” 
  
 Barry R. Elson commented: 
  
 “Charles has
created a good platform to build on and I look forward to working with the board of directors of Telewest Communications and the board of directors of Telewest Global, with the benefit of Cob as chairman, and the Telewest management team, to deliver
further operating improvements for the company going forward.”
