Surprised at the amount of media coverage being given to Clive James compared with Jonathan Miller who has also just passed on.

James was an entertaining critic and a talented minor poet and novelist while Miller, along with his Fringe partners Bennett, Moore and Cook, had an enormous impact on how the culture of comedy developed here and in the USA.

Just a minor quibble. RIP both of them.

Miller was less on screen.....essentially I think it comes down to that.

It was (vaguely) amusing once. Her repeated appearances just got monumentally tedious.
