Ben Miller on Chris Evans, Alexander Armstrong and Death in Paradise

This week Rob speaks to 50% of a comedy duo who packs 100% of the punch. You might know him from The Armstrong & Miller Show but we’re not talking about the Pointless one. That’s right, it’s Ben Miller. Join Rob as he explores the stories behind Armstrong & Miller's first big break, how Norway’s third most popular band came to be and what surprises were in store for Ben on his first day of filming Death in Paradise. Ben also treats Rob to a reading from his latest book Once Upon a Legend!

Like it when Rob lets his guests talk. This one felt like The Rob Brydon Extravaganza, with some poor sod trying to get a word in occasionally.

[@wellwell7950]

Need an episode with Rob, Anton Du Beke and Ben Miller

[@pseudonayme7717]

"The Triplets" 😄

[@davydatwood3158]

Reading aloud is a very different skill set than writing, and usually I find it super cringey when an authour is asked to read a bit of their new book - but Ben's performance skills shine through, and made that perhaps the best "authour reads a book" experience I've ever had. :)

[@eebeckke]

I love it when Rob says: "one of those laptop computers" 😂

[@citizen1163]

Loved Rob & 'Lord' Coogan in 'The Trip'. I'd love to see Rob & Ben in a series

[@ianjames3078]

A rare KZbin video that I watch without a pause. Fab interview

[@lizzielh]

Ben is hilarious

[@jonathanbinns5725]

Thank you so much for this it's like bathing in a nice warm bath of feel good,I live in Ukraine and spend most of the time war monitoring and its grisly, grim and bloody what a treat to switch off for a bit.

[@skindred1888]

Hope you and yours are alright over there. The world can be horrendous

[@citizen1163]

Rob, Ben, Alexander...the triumvirate of comedians 🙌

[@cloe1704]

Really!!!!

[@oneworldfamily]

I know I'm being pedantic, but thanks for correcting Ben on the series/season thing.

[@DM-jk1ds]

Definitely one of Rob s funniest interviews.

[@specialcircs]

Does Rob ever do one of these without mentioning Elvis, I wonder? ;-)

[@lifeschool]

When Gary Farmer met Ben Miller and Tom Baker, there was a huge party. They earned a lot of bread.

[@DarylVHorn]

One of my favorite comedic moments in the history of television, when Rob and Ben made out on QI, because they kinda looked and dressed like each other and they got aroused. So yes, I vote for that Rob & Ben series.

[@simonwatson5299]

I have to say, that whenever Rob and Ben are with eachother, there's such great rapport, that it's any wonder why we haven't seen them work together on something for TV?? I'd love to see that, wouldn't you??

[@HettiedeKorteDiplomaat]

We miss you. ❤ from Amsterdam.

[@Paula-wg8li]

Bloody marvellous ♥️

[@lucie4185]

Still not convinced that Rob and Ben were not twins separated at birth

[@thewordofgog]

Bonkers! I loved it

[@user-ix5fx4nk3v]

One of thes best episodes soooo funny

[@Gzeebo]

Best QI moment ever.

[@sophiewatson4396]

Rob, please have Alexander Armstrong next ❤️🙏

[@cloe1704]

Pleasee....

[@lauras9966]

Brilliant

[@yesdcotchin]

Rob's Ian McKellen needs work, but I always enjoy his Alan Bennett

[@geddylee501]

😮 His science book is good

[@vjc2270]

Armstrong and Miller is one of the greatest British comedy duo sketch shows ever (along with A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Reeves and Mortimer and Mitchell and Webb). Being Australian (I knooooow, it’s a definite disadvantage in this context), I’ve had to discover most of these comedic gems post-facto via KZbin, but the A&M cavemen sketches have entered the vernacular of my social circle, especially “Is shit mammoth” (first art critic) and “cheeky” (from the invention of alcohol). We also frequently channel the WWII pilots: “Isn’t it?” “Isn’t it though?” “Standard”. 😂😂😂😂😂 (P.S. Ben’s Alan Bennett was much better than Rob’s!)

[@pluribus_unum]

I can't believe Rob got Omar Sharif!

[@simonsaysrewind]

Im from Gloucestershire... Middle earth 😂

[@aeneasfrancois5636]

Ben doing his best, Lars from Metallica impression

[@danmayberry1185]

Death In Paradise was a wonderful winter escape .. until Ben left. Does he raise all of Xander's children?

[@cloe1704]

TOTALLY agree with you! DiP is only Ben Miller. It´s the truth!

[@thealiamin]

11 seconds ago! What a fresh upload

[@sharpvidtube]

Love "The Worst Week of My Life". Not a lot on the BBC that makes me laugh now.

[@cloe1704]

It´s the PERFECT comedy!!!

[@DarylVHorn]

Some call him "Lord Coogan". I prefer "The Coog".

[@nbell63]

Very pleasant that, ooh yes. 😊

[@OvercookedOctopusFeet]

Rob Brydon always ceases to make me laugh so hard it hurts.

[@normanwgilbert]

Oh no, no mention of The Boss, standards slipping. Just kidding, what an awesome episode...

[@nowthenad3286]

Is no-one going to mention the fact that one of the cameras was out of focus? So weird.

[@kingloser4198]

6:17 So that's why he'd bleached his hair in that :)

[@Alex-cw3rz]

Is Ben Millers the one on the left?

[@ireneterpstra1366]

Ben is the one in beige pants.

[@TomNoles007]

Something pleasing about the fact that you still needed to edit this... 😂

[@yolandamortimer5415]

This is kind of a mind F for me because for years I was convinced these two were the same person. LIKE YEARS

[@danieladams9950]

Rob dismisses Ben with such casual brutality. The new Grand Moff Tarkin emanates from SW London.

[@iq1548]

Respect to Pizza Express - why should they cancel a booking to let him in?

[@catherinef5055]

It really would be nice if Rob could let his guests talk once in a while. The potential for a really great conversation with really interesting guests always comes second to self aggrandizement.

[@markrichter2053]

Boo snobbleritz gollibble guzzle? Neep kalopg nort, spalg spalg alungeroof!!! 😢😮🤪🙃

[@kevinmoore2696]

You talk nonsense. This is very balanced. It's not an interview, but a casual chat.

[@kefumna]

Need them to kiss like on QI

[@OvercookedOctopusFeet]

Ashley Jensen is the most beautiful woman in the world.

[@anitahargreaves9526]

They've found skeletons of giants????

[@Johnny_Socko]

So I take it Ben had to leave Death in Paradise because Xander needed a break?

[@spanielsan71]

Bit weird

[@darrenbrown8449]

Sounds like Ben Miller was not liked on the set of death in paradise and didn't care. If everyone didn't like him it's not a good sign as to what kind of person he might be. Hmmm
