Item 1(a).  Name of Issuer:

               Comcast UK Cable Partners Limited (the "Company").

Item 1(b).  Address of Issuer's Principal Executive Offices:

               Clarendon House, 2 Church Street West, Hamilton, HM11, Bermuda.

Item 2(a), (b) and (c).  Name of Person Filing; Address of Principal Business
Office; Citizenship:

               This statement is being filed by Comcast U.K. Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("UK Holdings").  UK Holdings is a direct wholly owned
subsidiary of Comcast International Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("CIH").  CIH is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast Corporation, a
Pennsylvania corporation ("Comcast").  As of September 30, 1998, Sural
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Sural"), is the owner of 795,038 shares
of Comcast's Class A Common Stock and is the sole owner of Comcast's Class B
Common Stock outstanding. Mr. Brian L. Roberts, President and a director of
Comcast has sole voting power over stock representing a majority of voting
power of all Sural stock. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), Mr. Roberts is deemed to be the beneficial
owner of Comcast's Class A Common Stock owned by Sural. Mr. Robert's beneficial
ownership also includes 2,705 shares of Comcast's Class A Common Stock owned
directly and 1,356 shares of Comcast's Class A Common Stock owned by his wife,
as to which shares he disclaims beneficial ownership. Furthermore, pursuant to
Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, Mr. Roberts is deemed to be the beneficial
owner of Comcast's Class B Common Stock owned by Sural. Since each share of
Comcast's Class B Common Stock is entitled to fifteen votes, the shares of
Comcast's Class A Common Stock and Comcast's Class B Common Stock owned by
Sural constitute approximately 81% of the voting power of the two classes of
Comcast's voting common stock combined as of September 30, 1998. Comcast's
Class B Common Stock is convertible on a share-for-share basis into Comcast's
Class A Common Stock or Comcast's Class A Special Common Stock. If Sural were
to convert Comcast's Class B Common Stock that it beneficially owns into
Comcast's Class A Common Stock, Mr. Roberts would beneficially own 9,585,349
shares of Comcast's Class A Common Stock (approximately 23.6% of Comcast's
Class A Common Stock).

               The principal business address of Comcast and Brian L. Roberts
is 1500 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102-2148.  The principal
business address of each of UK Holdings, CIH and Sural is 1105 N. Market
Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801.
