ITEM 1.01      ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On October 22, 2004, Telewest Global, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an
employment agreement with Anthony W.P. Stenham, the Chairman of the board
of directors of the Company, on substantially the terms and conditions
previously disclosed in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1
(No. 333-115508) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange on July 16,
2004, with the following changes:

  o  Mr. Stenham will be provided with substantially the same medical
     benefits as provided by the Company to other members of its senior
     leadership team;

  o  Mr. Stenham's engagement with the Company may be terminated
     immediately at any time, provided that Mr. Stenham is entitled to a
     severance payment of (pound)450,000 if such termination is without
     cause;

  o  Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Stenham has been granted
     options to purchase 367,500 shares of the Company's common stock at an
