Just wondering about Michael's age. If he was born in June 1940, he would have been only 34 at the time Pyramids of Mars was shot (April/May 1975), whereas he looks much older. I emailed his website about this, in reference to a DVD feature which said Sheard was 'in his thirties' (contrasting his age with Bernard Archard's). I thought he looked about 45. I got a nice reply from Michael himself telling me he was still in his thirties (just!) when he made the story, something you would be unlikely to say about age 34. I wondered if he may have been doing an Ainley and shaving a few years off. Does anyone have any definitive data, bearing in mind that the IMDB data is supplied by the users (or sometimes actors!)?

I am a bit suspicious of that too, in Grange Hill andRemembrance of the Daleks he would have been in his 40's, but looks about ten years older. --TimPope 17:16, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

The Independent obit says 1938 and since they also showed up Ainley age shaving i'll change the entry. PMA 07:07, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

I put a footnote stating that as the source in case it gets changed by imdb believers ;) --TimPope 17:29, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

The Telegraph obit had 1938 too. PMA 13:26, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

The entry in IMDB has now changed to match ours.
