This was the first film produced and contains the "giant hourglass" scene. It's running time is around forty minutes. The second film, "Intrepid Michael - Traveller of Time and Space: Part I" runs for around ninety minutes and contains the "Hendrefoilan Garage Jump" scene (The garage belonged to the Dyer family) as well as a car chase, specially written music, costumes and a genuine professional actress (out of work). It also featured some scenes shot on location in Guildford (both Michael films are set in Guildford). As far as I'm aware, there are no surviving copies of this second film. A documentary, "The Making of Michael", was also produced, based on unused rushes from the second film. This too, no longer exists - it's VHS cassette having been used by other family members for recording episodes of "Neighbours". If I find the time, I will attempt to get the first film into iMovie (both VHS tape and VCR need to be fetched from the loft to do this) and give it a digital cleanup - by which time it will probably be about five minutes long and easily uploadable.
