2/2. George Mellyexplores , with a certain scepticism, the career of trombonist and band leader Glenn Miller.
Featuring rare recordings and new and archive interviews, this instalment assesses Miller's reputations as a businessman, as a perfectionist and, according to tabloid legend, as a spy. Plus a look at his mammoth successes (one of every three jukebox plays in 1940 was a Miller record) and his unusual touchdown in Britain.
