I have been reading the biography of Jonathan Miller, humorist, doctor, polymath and inspired director of film, theatre and opera. The book covers it all - in somewhat clumpy prose - I only wish computer nerds and publishers would invent 'apps' that would illustrate this brilliant man's achievements by showing appropriate footage from his productions. I read it on my I:Pad - with so much visual and intellectual imagery, a few photographs are, to say the least, inadequate.
