  Michael Peacock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Peacock (born 1929) was a British television executive, who from 1963 until the spring of 1965 was the first ever Controller of BBC Two, the Corporation's second television channel.
After graduating with a degree in sociology from the prestigious London School of Economics, Michael Peacock joined BBC Television in 1952 as a trainee producer, working in the Television Talks Department based at Alexandra Palace which moved to the Lime Grove Studios the following year.
This makes Peacock one of only three people (the others being Alan Yentob and Michael Jackson) ever to have been Controller of both BBC One and BBC Two.

 deseretnews.com | Woman who shot husband plea bargains
Becky Lynn Peacock, 52, agreed to plea bargain to a charge of second-degree felony manslaughter in connection with the April 16 fatal shooting of her husband, Michael V. Peacock, 52, in the kitchen of their Holladay condominium.
Peacock set off a flurry of police activity after the shooting when she called her sister in Farmington, N.M., then drove to that community and turned herself in to police there about 12 hours after Michael Peacock died.
Later, Michael Peacock's children from a former marriage tried to prevent Becky Peacock from gaining access to the couple's mutual bank account until the estate went through probate, but another 3rd District judge disagreed because in a criminal case the defendant is presumed innocent.

Until this year Peacock and Binnington hadn't had premises in Yorkshire since their formative years in Hull, and are seen, quite rightly, as a Lincolnshire-based business.
Firstly, the Peacocks bought out John Binnington yet with the name already established they decided to continue trading with it - you wonder why all of those companies who have spent millions of pounds changing their names over the past century haven't done the same.
Michael talks with good humour over the day he and his father met with their favoured manufacturers - ready to do battle.

 OFF THE TELLY: Features/BBC2 at 40"I Don't Want That Appearing in Private Eye"
But Peacock hated dealing with industrialists, and recoiled from the notion of treating the growth of a TV channel in purely remunerative terms - despite the fact that BBC2 had been created specifically as a demonstration of 625-line technology.
Peacock eventually saw the error of his ways, but by that point it was too late.
Michael Peacock's place in history as the man who launched BBC2 is secure - but so, unfortunately, is his reputation as the man who almost destroyed it.

 The Austin Chronicle: News: What Killed Michael Clark?
In the course of preparing her autopsy, Peacock says she reviewed videotapes of the event, read EMS and hospital reports, and even had police go back out to the scene the next day to take temperature readings, to determine how hot the concrete and a patrol car had been.
In her autopsy report, Peacock noted that Clark carried a "sickle cell gene from one parent," meaning he was living with sickle cell trait.
Also problematic, says Baden, is Peacock's determination that the allegedly fatal sickling event was brought on by drug-induced "excited delirium," an increasingly cited but somewhat controversial cause of death, most often applied to cocaine users who die suddenly while in police custody.

 Mogul production notes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Whilst the series had been entertaining, many at the BBC considered its content to be more akin with "the other side" and preferred to direct their energies towards the popular This Man Craig, a BBC Scotland drama serial which was rapidly acquiring steady audience figures on the same evening Mogul was originally broadcast.
Whilst the team still affectionately referred to the series as Mogul, and whilst the team fought against the BBC hierarchy (and in particular Michael Peacock) to retain the programme title, they were adamant that a change must be executed.
Peacock remained unmoved, the series retained its title of The Troubleshooters, Elliot abandoned his further protestations and the series commenced production shortly thereafter.
