:01:43. > :01:49.step to greater fame and fortune. The perfect hunting ground, then,
:01:49. > :01:59.for a fraudster on the make. We're on the trail of a serial conman
:01:59. > :02:02.
:02:02. > :02:05.who's been using reality TV to target the rich and the famous. And
:02:05. > :02:10.we find out how these Big Brother stars opened their hearts for a
:02:10. > :02:16.reality show that never even existed. How low can someone go to
:02:16. > :02:18.get footage to convince people that you've got your TV show? And we
:02:18. > :02:26.uncover what our fame-loving fraudster was really up to behind
:02:26. > :02:30.This is Mario Marconi and Lisa Appleton. You may recognise them.
:02:30. > :02:34.They shot to tabloid fame when they appeared in series 9 of Big Brother.
:02:34. > :02:38.But as the spotlight fell off them, the couple were left looking for a
:02:38. > :02:45.new project. That's when self- styled media mogul Silva Michael
:02:45. > :02:49.walked into their lives, a man who liked to be known as the Silver Fox.
:02:49. > :02:56.He seemed to have it all and was generous with his wealth, a proud
:02:56. > :02:59.supporter of celebrity-backed charity the Five Stars Appeal.
:02:59. > :03:02.Silva through a mutual friend who we was doing some charity work with
:03:02. > :03:09.at the time and he introduced himself as president, producer,
:03:09. > :03:14.managing director Silva of World Screen Group. Get a load of that! I
:03:14. > :03:18.thought I had met the almighty God of the industry. So Mario and Lisa
:03:18. > :03:24.threw in their lot with the Silver Fox who promised he could relaunch
:03:24. > :03:29.their careers. His famous signature was "I'm going to catapult you to
:03:29. > :03:32.another level. You'll have your own reality show." He was working on a
:03:32. > :03:37.series called Bombay Vice, the equivalent of Miami Vice but an
:03:37. > :03:40.Asian version. And the Amazon jungle. "Throw you two into the
:03:40. > :03:50.jungle." With a contract signed, the pair set about filming with
:03:50. > :04:08.
:04:08. > :04:10.Mario and Lisa spent several months filming with Silva, sharing some of
:04:10. > :04:14.their most intimate moments. Filming 18 hours a day, 2-3 hours
:04:14. > :04:19.sleep sometimes, and all this pressure. He was pressurising us
:04:19. > :04:29.all the time. It was proper hard work. They even recorded a single,
:04:29. > :04:29.
:04:29. > :04:39.All the hard work seemed to pay off. Silva told them a national TV
:04:39. > :04:42.broadcaster had agreed to run their show. We were so excited. We cried,
:04:42. > :04:46.didn't we? We actually cried. We said, "We've finally done it! We've
:04:46. > :04:50.got our own show!" But there was no deal and the footage ended up as
:04:50. > :04:56.just an eight-minute trailer, dumped on the internet. Mario and
:04:56. > :04:59.Lisa were furious. We left him, we actually parted. We gave formal
:04:59. > :05:04.written notice that we were leaving him and World Screen, nothing more
:05:04. > :05:07.to do with him. He said, "You will never work in the media again. You
:05:07. > :05:13.are has-beens," and all this. He was really horrible. Soon after,
:05:13. > :05:16.the Silver Fox disappeared. So who was Silva Michael and what on earth
:05:16. > :05:22.did he want with Mario and Lisa? Like many things in television, all
:05:22. > :05:27.was not how it appeared. This is the Silver Fox ten years ago and
:05:27. > :05:31.using a different name. Selva Carmichael at court to plead guilty
:05:31. > :05:34.to what was described as "a large- scale fraud on a large number of
:05:34. > :05:38.small investors". He ran the Carmichael Corporation from offices
:05:38. > :05:43.here in Bristol using the latest in a long line of aliases, but his
:05:43. > :05:45.name wasn't the only fake thing about him. Carmichael was running a
:05:45. > :05:52.Spanish property scam, taking thousands of pounds from investors
:05:53. > :05:55.and putting it straight into his pocket. Even then, he was making
:05:55. > :06:02.friends with celebrities. This is Carmichael with the actress
:06:02. > :06:05.Stephanie Beacham, who knew nothing about his scam. What he wanted was
:06:05. > :06:10.the touch of glamour that celebrity could bring to his own carefully-
:06:10. > :06:15.crafted image. He was very charismatic. He was dressed
:06:15. > :06:20.impeccably in Armani suits. He had dyed blonde hair and a charming
:06:20. > :06:25.manner and I just trusted him. Maggie Haines was one of those
:06:25. > :06:27.investors who fell for his charms back in the late 1990s. She even
:06:27. > :06:33.ended up working for the Carmichael Corporation, but eventually she
:06:33. > :06:36.discovered it was all a front. crunch of it all happened when the
:06:36. > :06:44.police arrived in the office in Bristol and arrested everybody and
:06:44. > :06:49.I realised then, "Oh my God! This whole thing has been a lie and I am
:06:49. > :06:55.in deep trouble." Maggie had been duped and left counting the cost of
:06:55. > :06:58.letting Carmichael into her life. My friends had lost their money, my
:06:58. > :07:04.boyfriend had lost his money, his family had lost their money, my
:07:04. > :07:08.best friend lost her money. I was devastated. Carmichael was
:07:08. > :07:14.eventually sentenced to three-and- a-half years. On release, Selva
:07:14. > :07:20.Carmichael disappeared... Only for Silva Michael - the Silver Fox - to
:07:20. > :07:23.pop up last year as Mario and Lisa's TV saviour. We've spoken to
:07:23. > :07:26.several of his investors. Some of them parted with tens of thousands
:07:26. > :07:31.of pounds, hoping to appear on one of his shows. They're now too
:07:31. > :07:35.embarrassed to speak out on camera. And their money? It's simply
:07:35. > :07:38.disappeared. Documents released to the BBC by the High Court show one
:07:38. > :07:45.investor is suing Carmichael under his real name for the return of
:07:45. > :07:50.more than �42,000. Even the celebrity charity, the Five Stars
:07:50. > :07:53.Appeal, was stung by Carmichael. A �23,000 luxury yacht holiday he
:07:53. > :08:01.promised for a charity auction failed to materialise, as did a
:08:01. > :08:05.�10,000 bid he made on the same night. For Mario and Lisa, it's
:08:05. > :08:11.been tough coming to terms with the fact their names were used to help
:08:11. > :08:15.scam innocent victims. I can't sleep at the minute at night still.
:08:15. > :08:25.We row a lot, don't we, about it because it has led to a lot of
:08:25. > :08:28.problems, and psychologically as well. How much can one take?
:08:28. > :08:32.it's only now that other people are coming forward and saying, "Well,
:08:32. > :08:35.he's done this to me and he's done that." And at the time, we didn't
:08:35. > :08:39.know and they're saying that and I'm thinking, "I feel sorry for
:08:39. > :08:43.them as well." So where is Carmichael now? He failed to appear
:08:43. > :08:48.at the High Court in Manchester for a hearing two weeks ago. Carmichael
:08:48. > :08:52.is bankrupt but his wife owns this �725,000 house in Buckinghamshire.
:08:52. > :08:56.The car he drives is here, but he's not. Just as we thought the Silver
:08:56. > :09:02.Fox had gone to ground, we found one man who knows exactly where he
:09:02. > :09:05.is. So Simon, when was the last time you saw Selva Carmichael?
:09:05. > :09:07.last time I saw Silva Carmichael was when he was being sentenced to
:09:07. > :09:12.three-and-half-years imprisonment for his money laundering as part of
:09:12. > :09:16.a major fraud. It turns out Carmichael is more than just a
:09:16. > :09:23.fame-hungry conman. He's part of a major criminal network whose
:09:23. > :09:27.members tried to steal almost �500,000 from the Santander bank.
:09:27. > :09:31.We've got fraud, money laundering. He's hardly the sort of person you
:09:31. > :09:35.would trust to make you famous. more likely penniless. From what I
:09:35. > :09:37.have seen in court and the case I've dealt with, if you have any
:09:37. > :09:40.dealings with Selva Carmichael, be very, very careful because what
:09:40. > :09:48.might be a very good and convincing front doesn't bear any examination
:09:48. > :09:56.in detail. For Mario and Lisa, the news Carmichael is behind bars
:09:56. > :10:00.comes as a shock. No! Really?! What for? But they hope it at least
:10:00. > :10:10.marks the end of "Their Journey" with the Silver Fox. Knowing Selva
:10:10. > :10:18.
:10:18. > :10:28.liar, lives in a deluded land and If there is something you think we
:10:28. > :10:35.
:10:35. > :10:45.should be investigating, you can send me any e-mail: You do not know
:10:45. > :10:55.
:10:55. > :11:05.what they will give you from one The Cambridgeshire Fens can appear
:11:05. > :11:06.
:11:06. > :11:13.to be a flat featureless landscape. But that is deceptive. This is Must
:11:13. > :11:17.Farm at Whittlesey near Peterborough. Hidden beneath the
:11:17. > :11:22.ground is a treasure chest of prehistoric items. Some dating back
:11:22. > :11:26.to the dinosaurs. This site produces 2.5 million bricks a year.
:11:26. > :11:31.But something else is coming out of the ground. A unique archaeological
:11:31. > :11:33.landscape. But it was only discovered by accident.
:11:33. > :11:37.Archaeologists usually work with small trowels, scratching away at
:11:37. > :11:46.the earth. But here, the discoveries need industrial scale
:11:46. > :11:50.equipment. We coined a term deep space archaeology. We are digging
:11:50. > :11:56.landscapes at the scale we have always done. But we are doing it at
:11:56. > :12:00.depth. That is the combination that brick work brings to our project.
:12:00. > :12:05.Here is the paradox of preservation. It is perfectly preserved because
:12:05. > :12:11.it is buried so deep. But it is almost impossible to find. The only
:12:11. > :12:14.way you can get at it is if you have a brick pit in your landscape.
:12:14. > :12:17.They are the only people digging big and at a scale enough to
:12:17. > :12:24.encounter those materials. first discoveries were made in the
:12:24. > :12:26.19th century. Workers were extracting clay by hand.
:12:26. > :12:33.A local farmer, Alfred Nicholson Leeds, also happened to be an
:12:33. > :12:36.amateur palaeontologist. He would collect objects from the buckets.
:12:36. > :12:41.Eventually, he also realised there were skeletons in the clays being
:12:41. > :12:46.extracted. And he started asking the workmen if something
:12:46. > :12:52.interesting was found to send word to him. He would send his sons who
:12:52. > :12:56.would excavate it. Over the next 20-30 years, he established an
:12:56. > :13:01.enormous collection of marine reptiles and dinosaurs. His
:13:01. > :13:05.reference collection is world famous. The Cambridge
:13:05. > :13:07.Archaeological Unit has been studying the area since 1995.
:13:07. > :13:12.The discoveries are radically changing the understanding of
:13:12. > :13:19.prehistoric life in this part of the Fens.
:13:19. > :13:25.What is in these boxes? These are the bronzes from the quarry.
:13:25. > :13:27.chance sequence of events preserved the contents of a settlement.
:13:28. > :13:32.A wooden platform raised on stilts above the marshy ground which
:13:32. > :13:36.caught fire. If we imagine this pot sat in a raised settlement above a
:13:36. > :13:41.river channel in the Bronze Age. Someone leaves the toast on. The
:13:41. > :13:45.platform catches fire. Things start collapsing. These pots go from
:13:45. > :13:51.being in a fire environment. So it is carbonising the contents of the
:13:51. > :13:54.pot. It is then hitting the river, so being extinguished. It is then
:13:54. > :13:59.falling to the bottom of the channel into soft silts. These kept
:13:59. > :14:06.this object for 3000 years. But equally, it is becoming three
:14:06. > :14:12.metres below the ground surface. So it is out of the way of any sort of
:14:12. > :14:16.interest are features of modern life. -- intrusive features. Just
:14:16. > :14:21.waiting there for us to find. What distinguishes Must Farm from
:14:21. > :14:25.other archaeological sites? Depth. For example, if we were to go to
:14:25. > :14:28.Stonehenge, and dig a hole next to one of the Stones, we would be
:14:28. > :14:31.lucky to get 30 centimetres before we hit bedrock. In that 30
:14:31. > :14:35.centimetres we are asking for the whole of British history to be
:14:35. > :14:40.caught. We have to understand that soil has been ploughed and dug and
:14:40. > :14:43.cultivated since prehistory. everything is jumbled up? In our
:14:43. > :14:47.landscape and context, we have metres of deposits. So you can
:14:47. > :14:51.imagine we have the Mesolithic at the bottom, hunter-gatherers. And
:14:52. > :14:55.ours at the top. Everything has been separated out.
:14:55. > :14:59.Over time, the Fens have changed from land to sea and back again.
:14:59. > :15:02.The old Wash estuary gradually filled up with peat and sediment.
:15:02. > :15:10.That gently covered and preserved everything at the bottom of the
:15:10. > :15:15.water. Each of these bands is a tide. So you can see the lamination,
:15:15. > :15:22.and how uniform this is. Daily tides in and out until eventually
:15:22. > :15:26.the sea cannot get in any more. It has choked its own course. At
:15:26. > :15:29.this point, we get this break in the sediment sequence. Then we go
:15:29. > :15:34.to a completely different formation process. Things drifting down to
:15:34. > :15:39.the bottom of the river. Silt forming. And we see all the plant
:15:39. > :15:43.life and shells and things. Salt water to fresh water.
:15:43. > :15:47.The archaeologists depend on the quarry being here. Their work is
:15:47. > :15:51.paid for by the company that makes the bricks.
:15:51. > :16:00.What is it about the geology that makes this place ideal for brick-
:16:00. > :16:06.making? It is the clay. It is a wonderful type. The Victorians
:16:06. > :16:12.discovered that it made strong durable bricks. But also, because
:16:12. > :16:16.of its carbon content. When you heat it, it burns itself. So not
:16:16. > :16:21.only could you make a soft, durable brick, it was also cheap on fuel.
:16:21. > :16:29.By lighting it, it helped in the firing process. In order to do this,
:16:29. > :16:31.you would need planning permission? Yes. To dig it out of the ground?
:16:31. > :16:34.And the reason why the archaeological discoveries have
:16:34. > :16:39.been made is we have to agree a scheme of conditions with the
:16:39. > :16:43.county council. They are the planning authority. We work in
:16:43. > :16:48.partnership with the archaeologists. They can keep a watching brief. But
:16:48. > :16:52.when we dig certain parts, they can move in. It is expensive. Having
:16:52. > :16:56.the consultants, the archaeologists. Having to pick around where they
:16:57. > :17:01.are working is not the most efficient way. But we accept, on
:17:01. > :17:06.balance, it is worth it. We have to do it for planning reasons. But we
:17:06. > :17:10.also feel we have a responsibility to do it. Earlier this year, the
:17:10. > :17:15.archaeologists made one of their most astonishing discoveries.
:17:15. > :17:20.A Bronze Age boat. We always said how amazing it would be to find a
:17:20. > :17:24.boat. We had fingers crossed. We found one, which was incredible.
:17:24. > :17:28.But we never expected to find eight this year. It is unheard of in
:17:28. > :17:32.prehistoric Britain. I am literally standing almost at
:17:32. > :17:40.the bottom of the channel as it would have been. This channel has
:17:40. > :17:42.just silted up and up. It has basically preserved all of the
:17:42. > :17:52.features and artefacts that have been deposited into this channel
:17:52. > :17:55.
:17:55. > :18:00.throughout that time. This has come up from a V shape. It is funnelling
:18:00. > :18:05.the fish straight into traps. The weeds and absolutely spectacular.
:18:05. > :18:13.Do you think there was a chance that those could have been tied on
:18:13. > :18:20.to something? It looks like they are made of some thunder, all were
:18:20. > :18:26.found. Some kind of fascinating? Yes. Needing a structure to be tied
:18:26. > :18:33.to each end, allowing water to flow through, but not blocking it off
:18:33. > :18:40.completely. Yes. That is good. most important items are taking
:18:40. > :18:43.away for conservation. Fish traps have also been preserved. This
:18:43. > :18:50.complete picture of life is why this is the best landscape in the
:18:50. > :18:54.world for these archaeologists. Aeroplanes fly over on top of us.
:18:54. > :19:01.We think of that as colleagues flying off to Borneo or Egypt. We
:19:01. > :19:09.are shaking up to them to be here. This is where a pristine three-
:19:09. > :19:14.dimensional landscape is, without any erosion. I do not think I would
:19:15. > :19:20.want to be anywhere else. This site has only revealed its
:19:20. > :19:25.history because of the quarry. It is quite possible that, hidden out
:19:25. > :19:31.there on the Fens, is yet more treasures. We are unlikely to find
:19:31. > :19:36.them and yes they is yet more work on this scale. -- unless there is
:19:36. > :19:41.yet more work. Here on Mersea Island, there is a
:19:41. > :19:45.long tradition of fishing, some family tracing back several
:19:45. > :19:53.generations. But some are worried that could end unless smaller boats
:19:53. > :19:57.and allowed to catch more fish. The East of England has a long
:19:57. > :20:00.heritage of fishing. All along the coast, towns had their own boat
:20:00. > :20:05.builders, fishermen and fishmongers selling the local fish. They were
:20:05. > :20:12.an important part of the seaside community. But most of the fish we
:20:12. > :20:15.eat is caught by big boats on an industrial scale. Those using the
:20:15. > :20:19.small boats say they are being put out of business because they are
:20:19. > :20:22.not allowed to catch enough fish. And that matters for us, the fish
:20:22. > :20:26.and the environment. Fishing is a way of life for father
:20:26. > :20:31.and son, Andrew and Johnny French, on Mersea Island in Essex. This is
:20:31. > :20:36.what we do. We do not know anything else. We do not want to know
:20:36. > :20:38.anything else. Their boat is classified as under 10 metres long.
:20:38. > :20:43.The under 10 fleet includes the most environmentally friendly
:20:43. > :20:53.fishing boats in the country. Studies have shown their nets do
:20:53. > :20:54.
:20:54. > :21:00.less damage to the sea and fish. Legal requirement for Bass is 90 mm.
:21:00. > :21:07.Ours are all 95 mm. You have made a conscious decision. Why? Because we
:21:07. > :21:10.do not want to catch the smaller fish. So a lot of the smaller fish
:21:10. > :21:15.go through and let them grow bigger. It is daft catching small ones and
:21:15. > :21:20.throwing them back dead. It is daft, really. Every year it gets worse
:21:20. > :21:28.and worse. Isn't that what fishermen always say? It does get
:21:28. > :21:35.harder every year with the quota. Because of the restrictions. It is
:21:35. > :21:39.a very hard job. But we do not know anything else, so it is what we do.
:21:39. > :21:42.These smaller boats are not given an annual quota by the Government.
:21:42. > :21:47.Instead they are given a monthly allocation of fish they are allowed
:21:47. > :21:52.to catch. It is known as the pool. You do not know what they are going
:21:52. > :21:57.to give you one month to the next. You have to wait until the end of
:21:57. > :22:01.the month to find out what you are allowed to catch. You cannot run a
:22:01. > :22:11.business like that. Small-scale fishermen make up 77%
:22:11. > :22:14.of the fishing industry in the UK. Yet they are allowed to catch just
:22:14. > :22:18.4% of the entire national quota. The European Common Fisheries
:22:18. > :22:21.Policy is about to be reformed. Owners of under 10 metre fishing
:22:22. > :22:27.boats have formed an association, known as NUFTA, to try to save the
:22:27. > :22:32.fleet. John Nicholls from Ramsgate is a founder member.
:22:32. > :22:38.The quota does not work and never will work. It was never set up for
:22:38. > :22:43.multi-species fishery. It was set up for a single species fishery
:22:43. > :22:53.like in Fraserburgh at the top of Scotland. Large vessels can catch

:23:06. > :23:11.but may only have quota for 4. The Fisheries Minister is trying to
:23:11. > :23:15.find a way to help the small boats. A pilot scheme has started on the
:23:15. > :23:17.east coast with more relaxed rules on what can be caught. Part of the
:23:18. > :23:22.scheme gives the fishermen an annual quota instead of the monthly
:23:22. > :23:25.allowance. So if they do not catch many fish in one month, they can
:23:25. > :23:32.make it up later in the year. Chris Redmond, based in Ramsgate, is one
:23:33. > :23:39.of those taking part. At the time, it seemed like the safe option for
:23:39. > :23:43.a year. They were guaranteeing me X amount of fish I could catch.
:23:44. > :23:49.I added it up and thought maybe I could give it a go. Has it worked?
:23:49. > :23:54.For me, yes. I was laid up for two months earlier on in the year. So
:23:54. > :23:58.the fishing opportunity I missed I have still got to catch. Whether we
:23:58. > :24:04.have done the right thing, I do not know. Come back in a year and I
:24:04. > :24:07.will let you know. At the moment, we are happy with it.
:24:08. > :24:12.The pilot was intended to run in six places in Kent, Essex and
:24:12. > :24:16.Suffolk. But all the other groups except one here in Ramsgate pulled
:24:16. > :24:20.out of the scheme. On Mersea Island in Essex, Johnny French was going
:24:20. > :24:26.to be part of the pilot. declined it, because they did not
:24:26. > :24:30.give us quota to live off. We were better off staying in the pool.
:24:30. > :24:37.as far as you are concerned, there is nothing to make it worthwhile?
:24:37. > :24:42.No, there was a lot of aggravation. Three months of meetings. Five or
:24:42. > :24:52.six hours long and every time there was less for us.
:24:52. > :24:56.So why is the Government pressing ahead with the pilot scheme? There
:24:56. > :25:01.are many reasons why people would or would not to take part in such a
:25:01. > :25:05.scheme. We have moved heaven and earth for the scheme. We are

:25:33. > :25:36.want a different scheme. They want to be able to catch more of the
:25:36. > :25:40.fish. But since quotas were introduced in 1983, they have
:25:40. > :25:46.missed out on the big deals. Most of the quota is currently held by
:25:46. > :25:54.just 24 fish producers organisation. The larger vessels, the producer
:25:54. > :26:00.organisations have surplus fish. Fish they cannot catch. They have
:26:00. > :26:05.that entitlement on log books. They are saying to the smaller, hard-up
:26:05. > :26:11.vessels. The smallest vessels in the fleet. "We have fish, we have
:26:11. > :26:15.quota. What we are prepared to do is rent it from us for the year.
:26:15. > :26:20."So in other words, they expect us to give them money for paper fish
:26:20. > :26:30.when we can then go out and catch. But those quotas are handed out by
:26:30. > :26:34.the Government for free. So is it fair to charge to rent out quota?
:26:34. > :26:38.One of the things we are trying to do is find out who owns quota in
:26:38. > :26:48.this country. It seems amazing that we are having to do this. But we
:26:48. > :26:48.
:26:48. > :26:53.are. It is a determination by this Government that we know who owns it.
:26:53. > :26:58.And when it has traded, we will be told. We can manage it a lot better
:26:58. > :27:02.and fairer. More people who are not benefiting can. And they can run
:27:02. > :27:08.their businesses more effectively as a result. I think there are too
:27:08. > :27:11.many fishermen chasing too few fish. The opportunity is there if we can
:27:11. > :27:13.just get through the muddle of a failed system in Brussels. A rather
:27:13. > :27:17.opaque system of quota management that we have inherited in this
:27:17. > :27:21.country. The Mersea Island fishermen cannot change the quota
:27:21. > :27:25.system. But this summer, working together with their families, they
:27:25. > :27:28.found a way to maximise their return on the fish caught. We came
:27:29. > :27:38.up with the idea of selling direct to the community, straight from the
:27:39. > :27:39.
:27:39. > :27:44.fishing boats. Two days a week, we set up a stall. We put the fish out,
:27:44. > :27:54.the locals purchase it from us, getting a bargain. And the
:27:54. > :27:57.fishermen get a good deal on the fish. So no one is complaining.
:27:57. > :28:04.I would suggest it to everybody, because it is what your local
:28:04. > :28:08.community wants. To buy local fish freshly off the boats.
:28:08. > :28:11.There is a lot of support for the under 10 metre boats from the
:28:11. > :28:19.public and the Government. But unless the quota system is changed,
:28:19. > :28:24.that support will not be enough to save them all.
:28:24. > :28:32.That is it from Mersea Island in Essex. If you think we should look
:28:32. > :28:37.at anything, send me an e-mail. I am also on Twitter. Join me next
