    If I were as apt to learn as Jonathan Miller, I'm sure I'd have enjoyed my studies too.

    Oh well, poor thing should have gone to a state school. The guilt he must have felt for his privilege.

      Queensberry rules type boxing didn't generally exist in the state schools I went to in Scotland. The usual tactic in my schoolyard was to pull the opponent down by the hair and then kick them in the face several times until they were defeated.

    I’ve had a fan girl crush on Jonathan Miller since “The Body in Question” first aired. He’d be on my clone list. Along with Jacques Pepin. 😉

    have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were a part of the main cast?

    It's great to see this, because Jonathan went on to lose this vivacity in large measure. I'm not entirely sure why or how, but the obituaries after his relatively recent passing speak to a man who spent his late autumn and winter years as a rather curmudgeonly figure. A brilliant man nonetheless.

      He had Alzheimer's which went undiagnosed for many years.
