Paul Miller

Paul James Miller (born July, 1966) is a radio presenter who resides in Twickenham, London. He currently presents The Paul Miller Show BBC Local Radio in the South of England.

Career

Before his current run on the radio, Miller was offered a job at Channel 4's Big Breakfast ^[1], but turned down the offer because of his love for the radio. Miller first appeared on BBC Radio Solent in 1994 as a traffic reporter on the station's morning slot. His late show is broadcast to six stations, reaching much of the South of England:

• BBC Radio Solent
• BBC Radio Berkshire
• BBC Radio Kent
• BBC Radio Oxford
• BBC Sussex
• BBC Surrey

The Paul Miller Show

The Paul Miller Show is primarily phone-in based, with callers contributing to a number of topics each evening. Contributions also come through the show's appreciation group on Facebook.

The show is produced from Monday and Tuesday by Neil Sackley, who reads the news and weather and provides topical surveys which often provide topics for conversation. He also presents "Sackley Survey's" – reports that may appear in newspapers the following day. Other nights the producer is Tim.

On Friday evenings, the show is known as the Friday Night Party and is produced by Talia Slack.

Miller previously presented a special music request edition of his show called The Music Club on Sunday evenings and, in September 2003, presented an outside broadcast of this show from the BBC Music Library in London. The success of this show has lead to an annual repeat.

Personal life

Miller attended Whitton School in Twickenham. Before working in a shop owned by his uncle, he worked as a croupier and as a nightclub DJ. He used to own a caravan near Bognor beach, and was often teased by listeners for his holidays in his caravan. He has also been teased about his Citroën 2CV which he previously drove, and he now jokes that he drives an "Allepri" (a cut-and-shut version of an Austin Allegro and a Ford Capri). His 2CV was featured in the opening sequence of the BBC television broadcast Antiques Road Show, and it was borrowed by the makers for this purpose.

Miller "does not 'do' ironing", and is highly skilled in aromatherapy – possessing an eclectic selection of oils. He once did an outside broadcast from his oils factory, and even gave some away to lucky listeners.
