answer: #Person1#'s interviewing #Person2#. #Person2# thinks tiny televisions are an expanding market and Japan now is dominating the market since the appearance of the Watchman in 1982. #Person2# introduces its size and weight and the sales of this model far outnumbered projections. It is said that the production levels were even higher when Sony launched the Watchman with a new model in 1983. Then #Person2# introduces Hattori that unveiled an even smaller TV and explains how it works to #Person1#. After that, #Person2# talks about Casio and their calculator-sized TVs with 1983 production figures of 2000 units a month. #Person2# tells that Sinclair in England also made the tiny TVs and the manufacture aim at providing relief to the commuters on their ways.
documents: #Person1#: Well, I'm sure all our listeners would love to be brought up to date on the latest in tiny televisions.
  #Person2#: It's an expanding market, that's for sure, and they seem to be getting smaller every year.
  #Person1#: Which countries are dominating the market?
  #Person2#: At the moment it's Japan, principally. In the spring of 1982 Sony introduced the Watchman?
  #Person1#: Is that the Walkman?
  #Person2#: No, the Watchman is a portable black and white TV set with a tiny screen and aerial.
  #Person1#: How big is the whole thing?
  #Person2#: Oh, I'd say about 35 cm by 12 cm and it weighs only a couple of kilograms.
  #Person1#: Was it a success from the start?
  #Person2#: Funnily enough, a Sony executive said that no one would want to watch a TV while walking around-and also a slightly larger model could be bought for half the price!
  #Person1#: Really?
  #Person2#: But, despite this pessimistic view, sales of this model far outnumbered projections.
  #Person1#: Well, you never can tell! How big was the initial production?
  #Person2#: The company started with 2,000 units per month and increased to 5,000 by the end of 1982, but they still couldn't keep up with the demand.
  #Person1#: So I suppose they upped the production levels even higher.
  #Person2#: It was much more radical than that! In the spring of 1983 Sony pulled out all the stops and launched the Watchman all over again with a new model.
  #Person1#: Oh, what's it like?
  #Person2#: Well, it's 20 per cent smaller and the price is 25 percent less...
  #Person1#: Mmmm.
  #Person2#: and the components were designed from scratch.
  #Person1#: And what about production levels?
  #Person2#: They quadrupled to 20,000 units a month just for the Japanese market!
  #Person1#: Wow! The Watchman certainly seems to have taken off.
  #Person2#: Indeed it has.
  #Person1#: And I believe there were other Japanese companies as well.
  #Person2#: Yes. At the end of 1982 Hattori-that's H-A-T-T-O-R-I--you know, the makers of Seiko watches-well, they unveiled an even smaller TV, around 3era, which is built into a wrist-watch.
  #Person1#: Incredible!
  #Person2#: It certainly is. The rest of the set is carried separately in your pocket and it's about the size of a packet of kingsize cigarettes.
  #Person1#: And how does it work?
  #Person2#: It has a liquid crystal display screen. The TV receiver and battery pack fit into your pocket, and they're connected by a cord to the watch.
  #Person1#: Is there a headphone?
  #Person2#: Oh, yes, that's plugged into the receiver as well.
  #Person1#: Seems a bit complicated, that one, with all the wires and bits and pieces.
  #Person2#: Yes, it does.
  #Person1#: Any other Japanese models?
  #Person2#: Yes, Casio-that's C-A-S-I-O. Their latest is a calculator-sized TV about one-third the bulk of the Watchman and with 1983 production figures of 2000 units a month.
  #Person1#: I see.
  #Person2#: And, according to a spokesman, they hope to match their calculator sales, which are about 25 million units per year.
  #Person1#: Very impressive. And no doubt other Japanese companies will jump on the bandwagon.
  #Person2#: Most likely.
  #Person1#: Now, could you tell us about other countries making these tiny TVs?
  #Person2#: Of course. From Sinclair in England there's one similar in size to the Casio, and their production levels were 1 million for 1983.
  #Person1#: Obviously they're planning on backing a winner!
  #Person2#: How right you are. A representative said they expect a mass-market response, not just a novelty item.
  #Person1#: And just which market are the manufactures aiming at?
  #Person2#: Mainly the commuters who spend hours going to and from work. These TVs will provide relief from the monotonous train and bus rides.
  #Person1#: Well, thank you for keeping us in touch with this extremely popular gadget.
  #Person2#: My pleasure, and happy viewing to all of you with those TVs.
