If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or

following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

[X]         (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of
            this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or
            expense;

[ ]         (b) The subject quarterly report on Form 10-Q will be filed on or

                            PART III -- NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-Q could not be
filed within the prescribed time period.

On May 8, 2002, NTL Incorporated, the ultimate parent of Diamond Cable
Communications Limited, announced that NTL Incorporated, and certain of its
subsidiaries, namely, NTL (Delaware), Inc., NTL Communications Corp.,
Communications Cable Funding Corp., Diamond Cable Communications Limited
and Diamond Holdings Limited had filed in the Southern District Court of
New York voluntary petitions for a previously announced "prearranged" joint
plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to
convert $10.6 billion of publicly traded debt into equity of two
reorganized companies. In connection with the preparation and filing of the
Chapter 11 cases of these NTL companies, the full resources of Diamond
Cable Communications Limited and its auditors have been severely strained.
As a result, it has not been possible to complete the necessary work in
time for filing the Form 10-Q by May 15, 2002 without unreasonable effort
or expense.
