My Take
Jonathan Miller defies every attempt to file him under one heading. He trained in medicine and neurology, then rose to fame in the satirical revue Beyond the Fringe, and ended up directing opera, presenting television, and writing books along the way. Doctor, comedian, director, author, knight. The sheer span of his curiosity is what dazzles me. The list of honors, from the Olivier Award to fellowships in the Royal Colleges, reads like several lifetimes. What I admire is his refusal to let intellect stay confined to a single discipline. We won't see his like again.
