Wow, what a week. I cannot thank you enough for the kindness you have shown me, I am overwhelmed and speechless, and that doesn't happen very often!
I had 35 magnificent years at the BBC and made the best friends ever. I need a very large beverage now 😜
So there we have it, my employment at the BBC has now officially come to an end after 35 years... wow!
So as that door closes, I wonder what's in store when the next one opens? We'll have to wait and see 🤔
This is the first year in ages that I haven't been able to share Christmas on the radio with listeners, but I am thinking of you, and would like to wish you a very Happy Christmas, and to thank you for all your kind good wishes once again. 🎄🧑🎄 xx
I have been totally overwhelmed by the lovely messages I've received since announcing my departure from the Late show last night - literally hundreds. You are wonderful and the best friend anyone could ever wish for. Thank you so much x
So it's the final week of the
#PaulMillerShow
on
#BBCLR
and there are loads of surprises in store - many that will be a surprise to me too!
Memories and laughs aplenty, so do join us if you can from 10.00 📻🙂
I've had lots of DM's from people asking if they can hear the shows from my final week on the Late Show again?
Yes, they are all still there on BBC Sounds:
Enjoy 😃 xx
Thanks for the messages. To answer a couple of questions, yes I will be having frozen roast spuds tomorrow - sorry
@ScottVenn
.... And the 'Gnome Paul' tree topper I used to have in the studio each year has come home with me 😀
Thank you for all your messages - I can tell you I'm not dead, or in hospital
#Rumours
I've had a bad dose of some nasty viral thing but my wonderful GP has me sorted and I'll be back to normal as of Monday. See you at 10pm xx
I cannot put into words how this makes me feel, thank you is simply not enough. Seven months have passed since our late show came to an end, but the effect it had on so many people is still apparent, and I am humbled by the messages I continue to receive. Big Hugs 🫂 xx

you read my mind, I miss Paul immeasurably ,,, so much I wrote a song about it.
I’m sure Paul’s music is much better though DEFINITELY!!! Xxx
Sorry folks but I've decided that the weather has won, and I'm not travelling tonight, so big thanks to my good friend Alun Newman, who'll be in my radio seat tonight. Don't go out unless you really need to, stay safe. Paul x
Hope everyone is keeping safe.... Just wanted to say that due to the current situation, and important schedule changes, the
#PaulMillerSoulShow
is taking a short break.
Fear not, the good stuff will return soon 😃
Please take care xx
OK, holiday is over, suitcases are packed away and the washing's done, so all I need to do now is get my body clock back into sync with working late at night. Could somebody tell the birds to shut up though - I need my beauty sleep 😉
I am devastated to hear my special friend
@Jamie_Crick
has passed away. Jamie and I met at college in 1982 and went through so many significant times together. Thanks for being the most amazing friend Jamie, and may you forever rest in peace with your mum Janet.
Everyone's invited to my end of year bash, so do join me and the lovely

This dog was rescued from a car in Bournemouth earlier today.
Please take your dog with you or leave them at home, not in your vehicle.

Hi
@PaulMillerRadio
it's Laura from Chichester. Thought I would upload the Danny DeVito cutout here, if you would like to retweet it, permission is fully granted!
I've been tempted for ages to buy a life-sized cutout of my favourite actor David Duchovny to go alongside him 😂
