Miles appears (in interview segments) extensively in the documentary film "Bring on the Night", which chronicles a musical performance tour of his client, Sting.

Sorry, but I had to remove the wrong news about Miles' death this year: it was unfortunately his brother Ian who died from cancer a few days ago, as reported elsewhere. Thanks, Gianmaria.

--Julian rowley 15:37, 7 October 2007 (UTC)Miles Copeland and his father were in Beirut. Miles'father and mine, Denys Rowley were colleagues, though mine was at the British embassy working for MI6. The three of them had close contact with Kim Philby until his defection to the Soviet Union in 1963. Denys Rowley continued to have contact with the Copelands until the 70's. Denys Rowley was by then was deeply involved with the founder of the S.A.S. Colonel David Stirling's Television International Enterprises (TIE) in Mayfair close to Miles' office. Infact Miles took Denys Rowley to the newly opened Hard Rock Cafe. TIE was responsible for bring the television program Sesame Street to Britain and subsequently, through Peter Ortin, The Muppet Show. Ortin went on to produce ob The Builder. The same offices housed Watchguard International, a quasi mercenary security organisation. Strange bedfellows. Julian Rowley is interested to learn more about the Beirut years and has heard Miles is writing a book about that period.
