Michael David Cobham (11 May 1930 – 25 March 2018) was a British film and TV producer and director, best known for the film Tarka the Otter. He was also a first-class cricketer.

Cricket career

Cobham was educated at Stowe School, where he played for the school cricket team, before going up to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge to read natural sciences.[1] He played minor counties cricket for Berkshire in the 1948 Minor Counties Championship, making five appearances.[2] He later made an appearance in first-class cricket for the Free Foresters against Cambridge University at Fenner's in 1953.[3] He bowled ten wicket-less overs in Cambridge University's first-innings, before taking the wickets of Mike Bushby and Dennis Silk and their second-innings to finish with figures of 2 for 21 from seven overs.[4] He failed to score while batting, being dismissed in the Free Foresters' first-innings by Myles Arkell and Raman Subba Row in their second-innings.[4]

Filmaking career

Cobham directed the BBC's first wildlife film Vanishing Hedgerows in 1972. He also directed and produced the children's TV series Bernard's Watch, Brendon Chase, The Secret World of Polly Flint, Out of Sight, Woof! and the wildlife-orientated Seal Morning (1986). His wildlife films include The Goshawk (1968),[5] and To Build a Fire (1969), narrated by Orson Welles. He also directed a BBC series about Japan, In the Shadow of Fujisan (BBC One 1987 and BBC Four 2009).[6] Other projects included One Pair of Eyes (1970) about the sculptor John Skeaping, Survival in Limbo (1976)[7] starring Duncan Carse, and he was also the director/producer for BP's film of Donald Campbell's Land Speed Record attempt at Utah in 1960.

Cobham's first novel, A Sparrowhawk's Lament: How British Breeding Birds of Prey Are Faring, was published in 2014 and his next novel, Bowland Beth: The Life of an English Hen Harrier, was published in 2016.

Cobham died of a stroke on 25 March 2018 at the age of 87.[8][9] He is survived by his wife Liza Goddard, ex-president of the Hawk and Owl Trust, of which he was vice-president.[10]
