And would you mind my asking about your salary? Or we can leave it blank. B: No, I don't mind. It's 40,000 a year. A: Thank you. Right... about your current watching habits..., what would you say is your main reason for watching TV? B: Well, at work I tend to read for information and what have you, so I'd say that with TV it probably just helps me relax and unwind. A: Fine. And how many hours a day on average do you watch TV? B: Not a lot really... I should say just over an hour. A: So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV? B: Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late eleven or even midnight- when I've finished work. A: And what sort of programmes do you go for? B: Some news bulletins but I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows. A: Fine. And turning to the new channel..., which type of programmes would you like to see more of? B: Well, I certainly don't think we need any more factual programmes like news and documentaries.

A: Ah ha. And if you had to give the new directors some specific advice when they set up the channel, what advice would you give them?
