Michael was a founding member of the Channel 4 News team when the programme was launched in November 1982 and joined the BBC in 1990, working on Panorama and Newsnight. In the 2005 election year it was observed that the five most terrifying words in the political lexicon were “Michael Crick is in reception”. In 2011 he returned to Channel 4 News but recently resigned to become a freelance journalist. He gave us a very informative and entertaining talk on “Pursuing Politicians” in 2015 and this talk promises to be equally entertaining.
