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 also made an uncredited appearance as "Larry" in the police drama The Blue Lamp in 1950;[1] he and his date witnessed the shooting of Jack Warner (Dixon of Dock Green) as they entered a cinema.
The show is remembered by viewers in Central Scotland as their first exposure to many famous cartoons and for Michael's companions, Paladin the talking lamp, Totty the Robot and dogs Rudi and Rusti.
After over 26 years on air, Glen Michael's Cartoon Cavalcade was axed in December 1992 and replaced by new local children's programming, such as Wemyss Bay 902101 and Skoosh.
In the episode, Michael receives a coconut and some flowers in the mail (in an attempt to recreate the Nintendo game Animal Crossing) and sends a thankful letter in response.
[citation needed] With the end of "Cavalcade", Michael continued working, taking a touring version of the show around Scotland to primary schools.
