Austin Churton Fairman (15 November 1924 – 4 April 1997), who used the name Churton Fairman but was more widely known under the pseudonym Mike Raven in the 1960s and early 1970s, was a British radio disc jockey, actor, sculptor, sheep farmer, writer, TV presenter and producer, ballet dancer, flamenco guitarist and photographer.
==Early life and career==
Churton Fairman was born in London, the son of actors Austin Fairman (1892–1964) and Hilda Moore (c.1886–1929).〔( Austin Fairman at IMDb ). Accessed 26 July 2010〕〔( Hilda Moore at IMDb ). Accessed 26 July 2010〕 His mother died in America when he was a child, after catching an infection from him, and he was brought up by three aunts, who sent him to Aldenham School.〔( Obituary by Leigh Hatts, ''The Independent'', 29 April 1997 ). Accessed 26 July 2010〕 He went up to Magdalen College, Oxford, but was called up for wartime service in the Royal Ulster Rifles, where he served as a lieutenant. After the war he joined the Ballet Rambert as a dancer, but then turned to photography, specialising in ballet shots.〔〔( Obituary, ''Daily Telegraph'', 3 May 1997 ).

In 1949, he married Aurelia Pascual y Perez, a refugee from the Spanish Civil War, and returned with her to her home. They had one son and three daughters together; they later divorced. He wrote a well-regarded travel book, ''Another Spain'', published in 1952, about Spain's undiscovered countryside and in particular Aurelia's home village of Quintanarraya.〔〔( Article (in Spanish) about ''Another Spain'' ).

While in Seville for the Holy Week celebrations there, he met the director Peter Brook. This led to him returning to London and becoming an actor, director and production manager on dramas on ITV. When ITV's ''Stars on Sunday'' religious series ended, he presented both the ''Ten Commandments'' programme and its successor, ''Songs That Matter'', as well as contributing to ATV's weekday ''Epilogue''. He also acted on stage in Moscow in the 1950s with John Gielgud, and occasionally played flamenco guitar music in a Spanish restaurant in London.〔〔( Mike Raven at EOFFTV ). Accessed 26 July 2010〕
