Clone Jonathan Miller!

[RMGLUCK]

I bumped into him the other day - a charming man and, yes, a definite candidate for the Dolly the sheep treatment.

@spaceoreo the stuff he did with Christopher Morris is legendary and I think it was recorded less than a year before his death

I like how what's her name from that forgettable comedy show is in the front seat but getting no action and just agreeing with how this and that person is a comedy genius.

There is often talk of Peter Cook as a 'tragic figure' in later life but I wonder sometimes how true that is. Certainly Fry's attack on the media just after Peter's death suggests it's false, but most crucially, Peter's wife Lin doesn't seem to agree with that notion either. That aside, he's in the pantheon...Sellers is right there with him.

Agree with him or not, surely one of the most interesting intellects of the 20th century.

Or one could ignore the Millers and pursue the quosant collage option. Collage...university. Shouldn't kindergarten be somewhere in between?

[metube80]

You can't defame the dead.

[stoprainingonme]

Haha yeah... well, no haha

[metube80]

Like sign-making perhaps?
