    I know a few people quite like Michael. He’s such a well observed character, the actor who plays him is really inhabiting the persona of a Geordie ex-squaddie. Mainly based on my experience of being born in and living in Newcastle for 25 years until I joined the navy, and then my experiences with other people from Newcastle in the navy and the armed forces at large. He’s one of Alan’s only friends because like Alan, he is completely without any self-awareness, particularly when it comes to the tragedy of his own situation.

      Apparently at the audition all Simon Greenall was told that the character was called Michael, worked in a hotel and got on with Alan. He had to come up with the rest. He was going to do Michael with a Yorkshire accent but he changed it at the very last to a Geordie accent and from there it stuck.
