Michael Cole (1933-2001) created a number of children's programmes from the 70s to the 90s, including Alphabet Castle, Heads and Tails and Ragtime, for which he won a Society of Film and Television Award (later known as a BAFTA) for Best Children's Programme.

In 1959 he collaborated with Halas and Batchelor writing for two series of animated shorts (Habatales) for ABC TV, including The Cultured Ape which was awarded best film in its category at the 1959 Venice Film Festival.
In 1964 Cole moved with his wife and 2 children to South of France where they created the first Bod books which were published by Metheun in 1965. Two years later, and now with four children, Cole began working for BBC children's television, initially writing and directing for Play School and Play Away. In 1972 Michael and Joanne Cole created Fingerbobs, songs and stories with simple paper puppets and artwork by Joanne Cole. The show starred Rick Jones and was shown on BBC until 1984.
In 1972 Cole wrote and directed Ragtime a BBC studio programme with songs and sketches, featuring puppets by Joanne Cole, illustrations by Quentin Blake and music by Peter Gosling. The programme won a Society of Film and Television Award (later known as a BAFTA) in 1973 for Best Children's Programme and was followed by a second series.
Michael Cole (born July 3, 1945) is an American actor. His career includes a leading role as Pete Cochrane on the television crime drama The Mod Squad, which ran 1968 to 1973.
Career
Cole has appeared in numerous films and TV shows, beginning in 1961 with a role in the film drama, Forbid Them Not.
