Tributes have been paid to Jonathan Miller, who has died aged 85.

As well as being well-known as a director and writer, he was also famous as one of the four members of Beyond The Fringe, the pioneering satirical revue which also starred Alan Bennett, Dudley Moore and Peter Cook.

Film director Edgar Wright wrote: "RIP Jonathan Miller. One quarter of the truly ground breaking Beyond The Fringe."
