On the eve of the centenary of Max Miller 's birth,
Richard Anthony Baker looks at the life and career of the great stand-up comic. For 25 years he was a star, although there were times when the BBC found him a little too blue for their liking. Impresarios, too, found him difficult to restrain. And off stage, was he really as mean as some said? With Cyril Fletcher ,
Arthur Askey , Alfred Marks , Sandy Powell and his biographer John East.
