As well as exploring his links to Stoke-on-Trent, Jones spent the programme checking out the acting dynasty on his mother’s side as well as his family’s links to India, where his great-great grandfather was stationed with the British Army.
Miller said the experience with Jones had helped to confirm rumours of connections his family had to India as well.
“We’ve since stayed in touch via email, obviously he’s a big Stoke City fan, as am I,” Miller added.
“I live in hope that one day we’ll get to meet up again, maybe when he comes to watch Stoke City or something.”
Known for roles in Mr Bates vs The Post Office, Detectorists and Indiana Jones, the actor still has links to his Potteries roots, partly as patron of Claybody Theatre.
He also portrayed former Stoke City kit man and circus clown Neil Baldwin, known as Nello, in the 2014 Bafta-winning BBC film Marvellous.
His father, Freddie Jones, was born in Dresden and worked at the British Ceramics Research Association in Penkhull before going on to become an acclaimed actor.
