Paul Daniels has died. Remember seeing him at the Grand in Wolves when I was about 11 or 12, it was one thing to see it on TV but to actually see the magic from the 2nd or 3rd row was amazing.

Know what you mean,when I lived in Lincoln there was a bloke who did magic tricks in the pub,for a pint,when you're watching from 2-3 feet away,and and get asked to pick a card,you do,and then find out you're sitting on it,or its in your pocket,belief it's nonsense has to be suspended

RIP Paul Daniels, he was the Saturday night entertainment show on the telly growing up for me. His style is now somewhat outdated by the modern magicians but he was massive at the time.

He also introduced me to the psychedelic experience (which stood me in good stead for my teenage years) with his Wizzbit creation. RIP Paul

RIP Barry Hines. I remember reading a Kestrel for a Knave as a kid and it was brilliant. The film Kes was also a superb adaptation. And then he also wrote the stunning and harrowing Threads.

Ronnie Corbett died today. They're dropping like flies this year.

 

[So Long Architect]

Ronnie Corbett died today. They're dropping like flies this year.

That's sad. I never found him particularly funny but he was an ever-present figure for anyone who grew up in the 70s and 80s. Seemed like a genuinely nice chap.
