Michael Hayes

Michael Hayes (born 3 April 1929) directed the Doctor Who serials The Androids of Tara, The Armageddon Factor and City of Death.

Hayes was initially reluctant to direct Doctor Who, which he thought "a children show with dodgy effects". However, due to his friendship with head of serials Graeme MacDonald and producer Graham Williams, he agreed to do one, hoping it would never actually happen. He came to like the show, agreeing to do two more.

For City of Death, Hayes travelled to Paris. He dubbed one of the lines in this serial where a security guard tells the Fourth Doctor that the Mona Lisa has been stolen.
