A sketch in "Monty Python's Flying Circus" (called "Spot the Brain Cell" in a later audio version) has John Cleese playing an "evil" game show host, hitting contestants over the head with a giant hammer, which is clearly a wildly exaggerated version of Michael Miles (the game he is hosting is a parody of the "Yes-No Interlude"). An early version of this sketch appeared in "At Last the 1948 Show". For a time, after Miles' death, the sketch was not shown by the BBC, but it has since been reinstated.
