Max Miller

Available for over a year

In a career spanning four decades, the original Cheeky Chappie, Max Miller wowed music hall audiences and starred in over a dozen films. Yet he failed to make an impact on radio. Max was known for his risqué humour and run-ins with the censors, but did this great comic lead a truly great life? Journalist Garry Bushell joins Matthew Parris to champion Max Miller's claim to greatness. With Roy Hudd, who worked with Miller and performed a tribute act to him. Producer: Jolyon Jenkins First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in August 2006.
