In 1968, Miller married actress Elisabeth Sladen in Liverpool. Sladen later played Sarah Jane Smith, a long-term Companion on Doctor Who, though her performance on the show did not overlap with the episodes Miller took part in. Their marriage lasted until her death on 19 April 2011.

Miller and their daughter, Sadie Miller, performed with Sladen in a number of Sarah Jane Smith audio plays, released by Big Finish Productions.
Miller appeared alongside his wife in the The Sarah Jane Adventures, as Harry the caretaker in the serial "The Mad Woman in the Attic" (2009). He has an occasional role in the radio serial The Archers as Jason the builder.
More recently, Miller briefly played Cliff Pughes in Coronation Street and Mark in Wizards vs Aliens.
