Funtime, a 'modified version' of its Gold films, will sell for about 20 per cent less but will be distributed only twice a year, in April and September, for two months at a time. To avoid cannibalising sales of its main brand, which commands about 70 per cent of the film market, Funtime will be shipped in limited quantities and removed from store shelves before the peak summer and Christmas seasons.The move - one of the first initiatives of the new management that took over late last year - represents a big departure from brand- management policies at Kodak, which has long refused to consider introducing economy labels.But as with other consumer products, ranging from cigarettes to nappies, tastes among amateur photographers have shifted dramatically towards lower-priced rivals since 1990.While Kodak Gold still dominates the snapshot market in North America, its market share has slipped almost 10 percentage points in recent years, at the expense of cheaper brands such as Fujifilm and Agfa, and the big retailers' own- label film. Still a buy.INVESTORS were puzzled on Friday by the small share placing made by Heritage, the east London importer of knives, forks and tableware - especially as the chairman Jeffrey Lampert took the opportunity to sell 100,000 of his own 3 million shares.Sources close to the company suggested that this is a mere taster for a rights issue next year, in the wake of hoped-for annual profits up from pounds 100,000 to pounds 200,000.That might be enough to stop the shares in their tracks, if they have not already been halted by the possible impact of the supermarket price war.

The establishment of the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board and the imminent arrival on the statutes of the Osteopathic Registration Bill are just two examples of the fruits carefully nurtured by years of patient campaigning and negotiation to which he contributed.Foulkes's efforts at improving the lot of complementary practitioners and their patients were prompted by his own early struggles at a time when becoming a naturopath or osteopath was very much a vocation rather than just another career option.

He worked on Tonight until 1964, when he embarked on his most remarkable television enterprise, The Great War: a 26-part series showing the First World War in all its horror and futility.In 1967 he moved, by way of natural progression, into administration and became Head of General Features, where he enjoyed himself less, though he later produced a number of outstanding series including Bird's-eye View, The Explorers and Ireland - a History.He could never quite manage retirement, although he tried valiantly to fling himself into untapped activities: bread-making, sailing and gardening were three of them that I noticed.
