Before working as a television director (Brass Eye, Mark Thomas, Omid Djalili, Stewart Lee, Peter Serafinawicz, Three Non Blondes, Mark Steel) Michael had a successful spell as a video artist, graduating in fine art and showing his work at many festivals and exhibitions throughout England.
Michael's early video work was often critical of broadcast television from the point of view of someone who knew it only as a viewer. Now after a lifetime working in the business he is still 'Reeling with confusion by what I see on television every time I look'. Michael has recently started to make new video art work and this is the third episode in the 'assisted reality' 260 Feet Deep series and was filmed around his home town of Windermere, in the English lake district.
The producers would like to point out that, unlike 260 feet deep, in the series 'The Lakes', no actual humans died while swimming the English Channel.
