Bernard Miles - Over The Gate


Playing Next: Plank 15 - Strings Of Life [Soul Mekanik Remix]
Random Page  /  Random Song


Knighted in 1969, and created Lord Miles in 1978 - Bernard Miles's character acting roles in countless British films began in the early 1930s. He also enjoyed a successful career on the Variety theatre stages, including the London Palladium - delivering earthy tales of village life, dressed as a yokel and leaning on a farm cartwheel. Many of these humorous monologues were put on record from the 1930s, through into the 1950s - and examples of those can be found on youtube. Here at last, however, Bernard can be seen delivering this popular routine.

Lord Miles was founder of London's Mermaid Theatre, where he revived his rustic character, as well as appearing in the role of Long John Silver in the Theatre's production of 'Treasure Island'. He died in 1991.
