Films and movie documentaries are something Mike has dabbled in occasionally, although they don’t make up a significant part of his work. He’s written a few scripts, presented a few programmes and even acted in one - not a crowning moment in his career, he admits.

More commonly, Mike does accent-heavy voice-overs and narrates documentaries made by film companies.

One shoot he fondly recalls was the making of Everything, in which he worked with a young, talented media personage with an irrepressible sense of humour. Her name? Sarah Millican, now one of the UK’s hottest comedy stars.
