Bill, taxi driver:

Bill is a 61-year-old taxi driver. He's married to Cindy (a retired florist) and is a proud grandfather. Bill reads the Daily Mail during his morning break in his cab and his local daily paper in the afternoon. He likes to read both to get different perspectives on news. He's a big fan of the letters which enable him to "find out what people are thinking". Watch this clip to find out more about how media fits into Bill's busy life...
