Now there is something else about Mr MICHAEL DAVID STANFORD-TUCK, he is a member of both Orwell and Cherwell Films LLP .So what we hear you say. Ah well, in March 2005 both these companies signed up Craig Bellamy, the Footballer, while playing for Celtic FC (below)

Many Film Companies were ruled illegal in the mid noughties by the courts. HMRC argued, successfully, on many occasions, such schemes were not legitimate investment opportunities but a means of avoiding tax. See Named & Shamed
