This Report on Schedule 13D relates to the disposed ordinary shares,
par value 10 pence per share (the "Ordinary Shares"), and the limited voting
convertible ordinary shares, par value 10 pence per share (the "Limited Voting
Shares") (together with the Ordinary Shares, the "Shares") of Telewest
Communications plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of
England and Wales ("Telewest"). The Report on Schedule 13D originally filed by,
among others, MediaOne Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Old MediaOne"),
MediaOne International Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MediaOne
International"), on September 21, 1998, as amended and supplemented by the
amendments thereto (collectively, the "MediaOne Schedule 13D") previously filed
with the Securities Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), is hereby amended
and supplemented to include the information contained herein, and this Report
constitutes Amendment No. 5 to the MediaOne Schedule 13D. This Report on
Schedule 13D also constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the original Report (the "AT&T
Schedule 13D") of AT&T Corp., a New York corporation ("AT&T"), and Amendment No.
1 to the original Report (the "MediaOne Group Schedule 13D" and together with
the MediaOne Schedule 13D and the AT&T Schedule 13D, the "Schedule 13D") of
MediaOne Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the surviving corporation in
the MediaOne Merger (as defined below) ("MediaOne Group" and together with
MediaOne International, the "MediaOne Subsidiaries"). AT&T and each of the
MediaOne Subsidiaries is a "Reporting Person." Capitalized terms not defined
herein have the meanings given to such terms in the MediaOne Schedule 13D.
All of the information relating to Old MediaOne's and the MediaOne
Subsidiaries' ownership of Telewest Ordinary Shares included in the MediaOne
Schedule 13D as amended, the AT&T Schedule 13D and the MediaOne Group Schedule
13D is incorporated by reference into this amended Report on Schedule 13D.
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
The information contained in Item 1 of the MediaOne Schedule 13D as
amended, the AT&T Schedule 13D and the MediaOne Group Schedule 13D is hereby
incorporated by reference (and such information also constitutes Item 1 of this
Schedule 13D).
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
The information contained in Item 2 of the MediaOne Schedule 13D as
amended, the AT&T Schedule 13D and the MediaOne Group Schedule 13D is hereby
incorporated by reference (and such information also constitutes Item 2 of this
Schedule 13D).
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
The information contained in Item 3 of the MediaOne Schedule 13D as
amended, the AT&T Schedule 13D and the MediaOne Group Schedule 13D is hereby
incorporated by reference (and such information also constitutes Item 3 of this
Schedule 13D).
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.
The information contained in Item 4 of the MediaOne Schedule 13D as
amended, the AT&T Schedule 13D and the MediaOne Group Schedule 13D is hereby
amended and
5 of 10
<PAGE>
supplemented by the following information (and the information
contained in Item 4, as amended hereby, also constitutes Item 4 of this Schedule
13D):
AT&T's acquisition of the Shares was incidental to its acquisition
of Old MediaOne. In a separate subsequent transaction (the "Microsoft
Transaction"), Microsoft Corporation, a Washington corporation ("Microsoft"),
MediaOne U.K. Cable ("MOUK") and MediaOne Cable Partnership Holdings, Inc.
("MOCP") (both former affiliates of the MediaOne Subsidiaries), MediaOne
International and Old MediaOne entered into a merger agreement, dated October 4,
1999 and amended pursuant to Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of July 7, 2000
(as amended, the "Microsoft Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, Cable One Merger, Inc. (a Microsoft subsidiary) was merged with and
into MOUK, and Cable Two Merger, Inc. (a Microsoft subsidiary) was merged with
and into MOCP with MOUK and MOCP each surviving as wholly-owned subsidiaries of
Microsoft (together, the "Mergers") and being renamed Microsoft U.K Cable, Inc.,
a Colorado corporation, and Microsoft Cable Partnership Holdings, Inc., a
Colorado corporation, respectively.
As previously reported in Amendment No. 3 to the MediaOne Schedule
13D, filed with the Commission on October 20, 1999, and the original Report on
Schedule 13D of the AT&T Schedule 13D and the MediaOne Schedule 13D, filed with
the Commission on June 15, 2000, all of which are incorporated herein by
reference, the effect of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Microsoft Transaction was to make Microsoft the indirect beneficial owner of
certain of the Ordinary Shares and Limited Voting Shares beneficially owned by
AT&T and the MediaOne Subsidiaries and covered by the Microsoft Merger
Agreement.
Due to the disposition of Shares by AT&T and the MediaOne
Subsidiaries upon consummation of the Microsoft Transaction, AT&T and the
MediaOne Subsidiaries are no longer required to be reporting persons under
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the related rules promulgated thereunder.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
The information contained in Item 5 of the MediaOne Schedule 13D as
amended, the AT&T Schedule 13D and the MediaOne Group Schedule 13D is hereby
amended and supplemented by the following information (and the information
contained in Item 5, as amended hereby, also constitutes Item 5 of this Schedule
13D):
The information set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby
incorporated by reference herein.
(a) - (b) AT&T and the MediaOne Subsidiaries beneficially own
39,761,566 Ordinary Shares and no Limited Voting Shares.
Based on the number of Shares reported as outstanding by Telewest on
June 30, 2000, the 39,761,566 Ordinary Shares, owned by the Reporting Persons,
represent 1.74% of the 2,281,098,623 Ordinary Shares and 0% of the Limited
Voting Shares.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement (which was previously
attached as an exhibit to and described in the MediaOne Schedule 13D as amended,
the AT&T Schedule 13D and the MediaOne Group Schedule 13D and incorporated
herein by reference), none of the Reporting Persons has sole voting or
dispositive power with respect to the beneficially owned Shares. Each of the
Reporting Persons does, however, share voting power and dispositive power over
the beneficially owned Shares with the Trustee (as a result of the Trust
Agreement).
To the best knowledge of AT&T, no Shares are beneficially owned by
any of the persons listed in Schedule I attached hereto, except for such
beneficial ownership, if any, arising solely from such person's capacity as an
officer or director of AT&T or one of the MediaOne Subsidiaries.
(c) To the best knowledge of AT&T, none of the Schedule I persons has effected
any transaction in Ordinary Shares or Limited Voting Shares during the past 60
days, except as disclosed herein.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Due to the disposition of Shares by AT&T and the MediaOne Subsidiaries upon
the consummation of the Microsoft Transaction on July 10, 2000, AT&T and the
MediaOne Subsidiaries are no longer required to be reporting persons under
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the related rules promulgated thereunder.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
The information contained in Item 6 of the MediaOne Schedule 13D as
amended, the AT&T Schedule 13D and the MediaOne Group Schedule 13D is hereby
incorporated by reference (and such information also constitutes Item 6 of this
Schedule 13D).
ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
Not applicable.
