Originally I did the Stanley Baxter shows with him and David Bell and Bruce McClure, these were all characters who worked for STV. He was always chasing the ladies and so I actually finished up by just scrubbing it because we used to just take bits out because it was all references that I thought, 'a family shouldn't be watching this!

Upon leaving his native England for the Scottish theatre circuit, he found further success in stage shows with comedians Rikki Fulton and Jack Milroy. Michael loves his showbusiness biographies, I see, spying those of Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra among others.

I: If I can be personal for a second, my motto as a Director is [Latin phrase] - 'True Art is to Consume Art'. And I think in terms of your various dogs, I think they were in just enough, if you know what I mean.

Everybody didn't like him personally but that was one of those things that people didn't, but as a performer in front of the camera, beautiful! The guy who introduced me, he was so nervous, the Newsreader, he said, "And now over to Glen Campbell. I think it's a bad thing, you know, but I had this idea that the boom mike, and we'd got Harry, the boom, who was always on it and he followed you absolutely and the sound was absolutely wonderful in those days. I: I've been doing it for so many years and now I'm dead scared of actually opening it up in case somebody's going to hack in to me or I'm going to get malware or something - ahh! But I actually did The Tower, which was another one, with Liam Hood as one of the Executives at STV and he was Producer of that and that was very good, it was all about a television station a way out in the country but that was very good.In Life's a Cavalcade, Glen looks back over an eventful and varied life which began in the picturesque Devon town of Paignton, where he was born Cecil Buckland. Now we've got three questions which STV have asked for and these ones will be probably going out on a compilation programme on the 60th Birthday. Despite still being recognised in the street, Michael said that anyone could find themselves feeling alone behind closed doors.

That was the last of the Theatre Royal but they were very, very happy days in the Theatre Royal and recording.Children's birthday greetings sent in by viewers was a regular popular feature, with Michael's production team also sending birthday cards to those who could not have their greetings read on air.
