Brian Miller

Brian Miller played two parts in Coronation Street: in January 1974 he played the part of Philip Barrett, the husband of a snobby couple who were old friends of Janet Barlow. He returned to the programme in September 1981 as benefits inspector Tom Elliott.

He has accumulated a long list of acting roles in his career including parts for the Granada productions City 68, The Dustbinmen, Crown Court, Village Hall, Sam, Fallen Hero and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Other roles include Doctor on the Go, Shoestring, The Professionals and Chance in a Million.

He is married to actress Elisabeth Sladen who herself appeared in Coronation Street in 1970 as barmaid Anita Reynolds. She is best known for playing Sarah Jane Smith in both Doctor Who and its spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures. Miller has acted with his wife in the latter and appeared separately from her but in episodes of the parent programme, most notably as one of the voice of the Daleks.
