Michael Hayes

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

Hayes was initially resistant to direct a Doctor Who as he considered it "a children show with dodgy effects". However, his friendship with head of serials, Graeme McDonald and producer Graham Williams had him agree to do one. Hoping it would never actually happen, Hayes later received a phone call from Williams asking him to a serial. He agreed and eventually 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.
