Paul Daniels has died

Not unexpected news, but nevertheless very sad indeed.

#RIP Paul.

It would be nice for a channel like GOLD to create some compilations of Paul's Magic Show.

Would be nice, especially the disappearing camera trick (which the full version of is on YouTube) to a wider audience in a tribute show...

..but right now, I can see Challenge shifting the schedules to put in repeats of Every Second Counts and Wipeout as the first tribute to air - even though, regrettablely, broadcasters have more notice than usual of this sad event today.

Probably his last appearance on a magic show, with his son Martin and Penn & Teller:

Challenge have put on Twitter that they are trying to slot episodes of wipeout into the schedules...

RIP Paul Daniels. I wonder if Stephen Mulhern will do a tribute to him?

They'd better hurry and bury him then, so he can turn in his grave.

Or CBBC dusting off Wizbit.

Talking of which in "C5 showing something worth watching" shocker I'm glad they've picked up the US version of Fool Us, which is essentially the British version on a bigger stage and with more American. It's airing on Sundays at 8pm.
