With the end of "Cavalcade", Michael continued working, taking a touring version of the show around Scotland to primary schools. As he continued to entertain more generations with games and cartoons, he was assisted by his wife of many years, Beryl. He has however now retired from these activities.
He lives in the Ayrshire community with Beryl and has two children, Yonnie and Christopher, and three grandchildren, Grant, Fraser and Mark. His son, Chris Buckland, is a film editor who has worked extensively on STV productions such as Taggart. He can often be seen at Somerset Park attending Ayr United matches.
Mark Millar, writer of the comic book Kick-Ass, helped Michael to get a cameo role in the film version of the comic-book series. Miller said that Cartoon Cavalcade inspired him to become a writer and none of his comic books would exist if it wasn't for Michael and his show. However his part was cut from the final edit. Michael said, "I never expected to be in it at all. I think it was meant as a gesture. I think they were trying to make me feel like a real star. I had a trailer which was as big as a coach."
Michael did attend the premiere of the movie in London.
