:00:00. > :00:08.Hello it's Thursday, it's 9.15, I'm Joanna Gosling in for Victoria,
:00:09. > :00:14.The television magician Paul Daniels has died at the age of 77
:00:15. > :00:27.after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.
:00:28. > :00:30.We'll bring you memories of Paul throughout the programme; do get
:00:31. > :00:36.Also this morning: A promise to balance the books by 2020,
:00:37. > :00:39.but do Chancellor George Osborne's sums add up?
:00:40. > :00:46.His budget will be closely looked at by experts today.
:00:47. > :00:51.What I'm saying in this budget is we have got to hold to the cause that
:00:52. > :00:54.we have set out. We have to take action on the public finances sothat
:00:55. > :00:59.we are stable and secure and don't pay later and we've got to back
:01:00. > :01:02.small businesses, the self-employed, working people, by cutting their
:01:03. > :01:04.taxes and helping our economy to grow.
:01:05. > :01:07.As he confirms the outlook for our economy isn't as healthy
:01:08. > :01:09.as he thought we'll ask our panel how confident they feel
:01:10. > :01:16.The doctor who has acted as an expert witness for parents
:01:17. > :01:19.accused of killing of harming their children will find out today
:01:20. > :01:21.if her fitness to practise has been impaired.
:01:22. > :01:27.She tell us she's not prepared for losing her job.
:01:28. > :01:37.It's completely devastating. This reflects on 23 32 years as a
:01:38. > :01:40.paediatric neuropathologist. I think unblemished many, many publications
:01:41. > :01:43.in the scientific literature and to have that come to an end in this way
:01:44. > :01:46.is terribly, terribly painful. Also ahead, pet owners convicted
:01:47. > :01:49.of dangerous dogs will face harsher punishments under new sentencing
:01:50. > :01:59.guidelines in England and Wales. We speak to one woman
:02:00. > :02:02.attacked and badly hurt She tells us new sentences
:02:03. > :02:23.won't make any difference. Welcome this morning. We want to
:02:24. > :02:28.hear from you on everything we are talking about today. You can get in
:02:29. > :02:32.touch in the usual ways. If you text, you will be charged at
:02:33. > :02:33.standard network rate and you can watch the programme online wherever
:02:34. > :02:37.you are. First this morning,
:02:38. > :02:41.the magician and comedian Paul Daniels has died
:02:42. > :02:44.after being diagnosed He had his own magic show on the BBC
:02:45. > :02:51.which ran for 15 years. He was at his Berkshire home
:02:52. > :02:54.with his wife Debbie when he died Nick Higham looks back at his life:
:02:55. > :02:59.Hello, welcome to the programme, we're on BBC 2 and the BBC
:03:00. > :03:04.News Channel until 11 this morning. He took old-fashioned
:03:05. > :03:11.magic and re-fashioned it He became a fixture
:03:12. > :03:17.in the Saturday night schedules. He'd started in northern clubs,
:03:18. > :03:20.combining magic with a chirpy, One, two, out the way,
:03:21. > :03:28.you are not supposed to go slow. He devised a catch phrase
:03:29. > :03:30.to deal with hecklers. As Maureen, Debbie and Bobby go
:03:31. > :03:39.inside the tent, the tent Some of his illusions
:03:40. > :03:47.were staggerings, like making an elephant disappear
:03:48. > :03:49.in the middle of a field. Welcome your host on
:03:50. > :03:54.Wipeout, Paul Daniels... For 20 years, he was one of the most
:03:55. > :03:57.popular entertainers. And made guest appearances
:03:58. > :04:05.in programmes like Strictly Come Oh, sorry, love, I thought
:04:06. > :04:15.you were ready for bed. What first attracted
:04:16. > :04:31.you to the millionaire Paul He was famous for his toupe and for
:04:32. > :04:33.his marriage to Debby Magee which amused many people.
:04:34. > :04:36.What first attracted you to the millionaire Paul
:04:37. > :04:42.The couple seemed genuinely happy together.
:04:43. > :04:46.Paul Daniels could be chippy and some thought him smug.
:04:47. > :04:49.He fell out with BBC managers who dropped his show in the 90s,
:04:50. > :04:51.but there was no doubting his popularity.
:04:52. > :05:07.Paul Daniels. Let's talk to Lizo Mzimba, he was big on the small
:05:08. > :05:10.screen at a time when success meant massive fame? Absolutely.
:05:11. > :05:14.Particularly in the 80s, looking back at some of the clips we have
:05:15. > :05:18.been looking at reminds you of how popular he was. There were people
:05:19. > :05:22.out there who were great magicians with sleight of hand et cetera and
:05:23. > :05:28.there were people out there who we are great entertainers, he could
:05:29. > :05:34.combine both and that's what made him into such a star. He learnt the
:05:35. > :05:38.skills from an early age and he was almost a half comedian, half
:05:39. > :05:43.magician working with people in clubs, then at TV he knew
:05:44. > :05:48.instinctively how to work with the camera with the audience at home.
:05:49. > :05:53.With fast patter, he combined those things into becoming one of this
:05:54. > :05:58.great magicians and entertainers. The broadcasters recognised that, so
:05:59. > :06:05.he did the shows like Every Second Counts, because he had an incredible
:06:06. > :06:11.amount of charisma in front of him. You saw his patter, that kind of
:06:12. > :06:15.machine-gun sticato patter, he was one of the greats and was so popular
:06:16. > :06:19.for so long. Although this news has been expected for the last few
:06:20. > :06:27.weeks, still so very sad for so many people. We are going to talk to
:06:28. > :06:34.Graham Howe, organiser of the War Grave Festival of which Paul Daniels
:06:35. > :06:38.was a supporter. It's a please sure to be on and Paul was a great
:06:39. > :06:44.contributor to our community and we are delighted to pay tribute to him.
:06:45. > :06:48.What sort of things did he do? The War Great Festival is a biannual
:06:49. > :06:57.festival with 40 events over two weeks. From the very first time that
:06:58. > :07:03.Debbie and Paul got involved, they'd been joining in, whether it's
:07:04. > :07:14.joining in the parade and coming to events, they put on a magic show for
:07:15. > :07:18.the RNLI and they also helped us get a number of events moving with the
:07:19. > :07:23.theatre workshop and doing an event which was Strictly Come Dancing
:07:24. > :07:30.where they came along as judges. They were always very generous with
:07:31. > :07:34.their time, both Paul and Debbie and were very good at giving us advice
:07:35. > :07:39.in running the events. Of course, he didn't have to do that, is that a
:07:40. > :07:43.measure of the man you knew? Indeed. When we were in his house one day
:07:44. > :07:46.talking about his magic show, of course we were the amateurs and he
:07:47. > :07:50.was the professional, so there was a lot of things we didn't know or
:07:51. > :07:56.mistakes that we were making. He was very good at putting us right
:07:57. > :08:02.without us feeling that we were doing it badly. He was very
:08:03. > :08:09.professional in his approach but equally, we'd see them in the local
:08:10. > :08:12.pub and they would just join in as normal human beings even though he
:08:13. > :08:18.was a worldwide celebrity. How will you remember him? As a kind,
:08:19. > :08:22.generous man and, actually, what you saw is what you got.
:08:23. > :08:27.Thank you, thank you very much for joining us Graham Howe. Lots of
:08:28. > :08:31.reaction coming through on Twitter. Keith Chegwin, TV presenter says,
:08:32. > :08:37.we've lost a lovely, kind and magic man, lover you and thinking of you,
:08:38. > :08:41.I shall miss you a lot. Paul Chuckle from the Chuckle Brothers said to
:08:42. > :08:47.hear of the death of Paul Daniels, RIP, thoughts with the family.er
:08:48. > :08:52.Darren Day, RIP, God bless, thoughts with his family and friends. He was
:08:53. > :08:56.a nice man. Arlene Phillips says, sorry to hear of the death of Paul
:08:57. > :09:01.Daniels my dhawingts are with you. Graham texted to say sorry to hear
:09:02. > :09:06.the news, he was very much part of the '80s era I grew up in. My heart
:09:07. > :09:11.felt regards and sympathy to Debbie and the family. A text, very sad
:09:12. > :09:15.news hearing about Paul Daniels, a member of the magic circle for many
:09:16. > :09:20.years, thoughts with Debbie, he'll be missed. John on by thor, a
:09:21. > :09:24.cheerful man, we need more people like that in this overpoliced
:09:25. > :09:29.miserable world now. Let us know how you will remember
:09:30. > :09:31.Paul Dan yeses and we'll have much more throughout the programme --
:09:32. > :09:34.Paul Daniels. The fine detail of the budget
:09:35. > :09:37.will come under increasing scrutiny today after the Chancellor's promise
:09:38. > :09:41.to get the government books back It is that promise that will be
:09:42. > :09:46.examined closely by money experts at the Institute for Fiscal Studies
:09:47. > :09:49.who will reveal their verdict today. Although George Osborne gave
:09:50. > :09:51.warnings about the risks the economy faces there were give aways
:09:52. > :09:53.and promises, declaring his budget was one that 'puts the next
:09:54. > :09:56.generation first'. Let's recap the headlines;
:09:57. > :10:01.the budget started withthe bad news. Growth forecasts for the UK economy
:10:02. > :10:05.have been revised down markedly for the next five yearswith more
:10:06. > :10:08.cuts planned to help The surprise one, a tax on sugary
:10:09. > :10:25.drinks followed by tax cuts for small businesses; a raising
:10:26. > :10:28.of the tax free personal allowance,fuel duty to be frozen
:10:29. > :10:36.for the sixth consecutive year; Earlier George Osborne defended
:10:37. > :10:38.the move to cut benefits for disabled people insisting,
:10:39. > :10:47.in fact, they would get more We are increasing the money
:10:48. > :10:51.available to young people. That money will go up as a budget, so we
:10:52. > :10:55.have to make sure we help the most vulnerable in society and we are
:10:56. > :10:58.responding to an independent report, it wasn't as part of the budget, we
:10:59. > :11:02.did this last week, and the Work and Pensions department is saying, what
:11:03. > :11:05.can we do to make sure this disability benefit is focussed on
:11:06. > :11:09.those who need our help most but it's a rising budget, it's not a
:11:10. > :11:13.falling budget, and you can only afford to do that, you can only
:11:14. > :11:18.afford to help disabled people, you can only afford to invest in schools
:11:19. > :11:21.like the great school I'm in here in West Yorkshire, if you have that
:11:22. > :11:24.growing economy and businesses are succeeding and small businesses are
:11:25. > :11:28.growing and the self-employed person is watching a programme and is about
:11:29. > :11:34.to go out to work knows that they have the Government on their side.
:11:35. > :11:34.That's what the budget set out to do.
:11:35. > :11:37.You've been telling us what you think of the Chancellor's
:11:38. > :11:48.new budget, from the sugar tax to the new lifetime ISA.
:11:49. > :12:03.We will introduce a new sugar levy on the soft drinks industry.
:12:04. > :12:09.I have a four-month-old baby, so I was really pleased to hear
:12:10. > :12:12.the Government was going to be introducing a tax on sugary drinks.
:12:13. > :12:14.People who like Coke are going to drink Coke.
:12:15. > :12:16.That's how I lost my teeth, it is all fake.
:12:17. > :12:19.I think the sugar tax sends a very good signal that more
:12:20. > :12:23.sugar, but I worry that it's too easy to get round.
:12:24. > :12:26.I think that education is a far more effective and important way
:12:27. > :12:31.This is a budget for the next generation.
:12:32. > :12:38.effect as the tax allowance goes higher #
:12:39. > :12:41.I think one of the biggest and best moments of the budget was definitely
:12:42. > :12:45.As the father of a 20-year-old daughter, I am really pleased
:12:46. > :12:50.As good as it is that I can have this lifetime ISA,
:12:51. > :12:52.I won't have anything to put into it.
:12:53. > :12:54.Many people have to choose between food and transport,
:12:55. > :13:14.Well, that was a very interesting budget.
:13:15. > :13:22.Let's get the thoughts of nay Shand Smith, a 21-year-old apprentice from
:13:23. > :13:30.Limington. Emily Hodgson is a drama
:13:31. > :13:33.teacher and actress living in London Sarah Stewart
:13:34. > :13:35.is from Guildford. She receives Personal Independence
:13:36. > :13:37.Allowance after having to give up Chris Pockett is from
:13:38. > :13:41.a Gloucestershire based company called Renishaw - they manufacture
:13:42. > :13:52.precision measuring equipment used Nathan, what do you think? They have
:13:53. > :13:56.raised the apprenticeship wage. I'm doing a technical certificate
:13:57. > :14:01.apprenticeship which means my wage is higher, but for new people coming
:14:02. > :14:04.in, it's a very good positive for having no skills and they are
:14:05. > :14:08.getting paid to be taught new skills which is really good. What will that
:14:09. > :14:13.wage increase mean for you? Well, because I'm doing a technical
:14:14. > :14:19.certificate, it doesn't affect me, but for new people coming up, it
:14:20. > :14:25.will affect them to help them get on to earning money and getting a job.
:14:26. > :14:30.Chris, you work for a manufacturing business, what does something like
:14:31. > :14:33.that mean for a company like yours? Apprenticeships are incredibly
:14:34. > :14:37.important for the future of our business. The budget was billed very
:14:38. > :14:43.much as about the future. There are a number of things that help us as a
:14:44. > :14:47.manufacturer within that. It was fairly neutral, nothing really
:14:48. > :14:52.specific for manufacturing but the reduction in corporation tax down to
:14:53. > :14:57.17%, we are already seeing reductions ahead of that. That
:14:58. > :15:01.enables manufacturers to invest more in productivity, to make decisions
:15:02. > :15:06.using their own money, it's better to retain the money we earn and to
:15:07. > :15:12.spend it as we see fit. We'll spend it wisely. We invest in production
:15:13. > :15:16.process and innovation and in people and apprenticeships are one of
:15:17. > :15:20.those, we have 120 apprentices in training, we are recruiting 45 this
:15:21. > :15:25.year, so being able to retain more of our profits and invest for the
:15:26. > :15:29.future is important and enables more manufacturers that we supply
:15:30. > :15:33.globally to up skill their staff to invest in new technology, to improve
:15:34. > :15:37.productivity. That was mentioned yesterday. I wanted to ask you
:15:38. > :15:42.specifically about productivity because you have said you want to
:15:43. > :15:46.invest more in productivity. The Chancellor has downgraded the
:15:47. > :15:51.productivity or the productivity forecasts have been downgraded since
:15:52. > :15:54.November. Tell us what that means for people that keep hearing this
:15:55. > :15:56.word productivity and don't know what it means on the ground, so for
:15:57. > :16:05.a business like yours? It is making sure that for every
:16:06. > :16:09.unit of money that you put into your business, that you are getting a
:16:10. > :16:14.much better return in terms of out put from your manufacturing process
:16:15. > :16:19.and therefore products you can sell, there is an excellent opportunity
:16:20. > :16:24.next month, in Birmingham at the NEC, the yuc's largest industrial
:16:25. > :16:27.show, where there is round 600 exhibitors exhibiting the latest
:16:28. > :16:34.technology where companies can take advantage of low interest rates to
:16:35. > :16:37.invest for the future, and to improve their productivity, using
:16:38. > :16:41.products like ours but others in our sector as well. Emily you are a
:16:42. > :16:48.self-employed actress and drama teacher, you are under ho so you
:16:49. > :16:53.qualify for this new savings lifetime ice sacks how do you see it
:16:54. > :16:57.affecting you? That is a very good thing, I would look for that being
:16:58. > :17:00.self-employed I don't a pay into pensions, so if there is the
:17:01. > :17:05.possibility for me to pay into something and have that, obviously,
:17:06. > :17:09.it is there, if I can't access it until I am much older but it would
:17:10. > :17:12.be benefit to me. Do you have the spare income to do that? Not a the
:17:13. > :17:16.moment, that is something I would look for in future, I don't know if
:17:17. > :17:20.that is something we have to start immediately. I don't know the
:17:21. > :17:27.conditions of this, so that is something I would look into, so that
:17:28. > :17:30.would be beneficial, so it is difficult to comprehend that.
:17:31. > :17:37.Anything else in the budget you think will materially affect you? I
:17:38. > :17:41.think the Crossrail 2 is a huge asset for anybody living in London,
:17:42. > :17:46.because the commuter trains constantly are being a real problem,
:17:47. > :17:49.something that lives in north London and commuting, because I am
:17:50. > :17:58.freelance, I do lots of travel so that would be brilliant. Let us
:17:59. > :18:03.bring in Sarah Stewart. You get the PIP, the incapacity payment, changes
:18:04. > :18:08.have been announced, cut have been announced, us what your situation is
:18:09. > :18:13.at the moment and will it will be affected by the budget? Yes, I will
:18:14. > :18:18.be affected by the budget, after of next year I won't qualify for the
:18:19. > :18:25.PIP daily care part, because they are reducing the point scheme, which
:18:26. > :18:30.leave us with just my ESA coming in, so it's a big change. I called it
:18:31. > :18:34.incapacity payment, it is independence payments, so when you
:18:35. > :18:39.say it will be a big change, what change will that make to you on a
:18:40. > :18:44.day-to-day basis, do you think? Well, it's like having the
:18:45. > :18:50.additional costs from being disabled, like needing automatic
:18:51. > :18:55.car, to extra heating, prescription, I don't get free prescriptions, so
:18:56. > :18:59.just losing that money will have a knock-on effect. Is there anything
:19:00. > :19:06.else in the budget that will directly affect you, do you think?
:19:07. > :19:14.To be honest, I haven't really looked that far into it. I got as
:19:15. > :19:22.far as... INAUDIBLE. It is very depressing and demoralise, it, yes.
:19:23. > :19:26.Why do you feel that way? It is just the constant pressure, the
:19:27. > :19:31.assessments, the rigmarole, I went through a court case, to win my PIP,
:19:32. > :19:38.and now next year I will be losing it, and it is just, like I say, it
:19:39. > :19:45.is constant barrage of assessments and needing to prove how disabled
:19:46. > :19:49.you are, to somebody over a desk. Chris, as a businessman, how do you
:19:50. > :19:53.feel about the future? The Chancellor talked of storm clouds
:19:54. > :19:57.gathering and the various growth forecasts being downgraded, do you
:19:58. > :20:03.feel like the picture has changed since November? We are a global
:20:04. > :20:08.business, so 95% of our sales are actually exports, so we are, our
:20:09. > :20:11.largest markets are China, USA and Japan and Germany. The UK only
:20:12. > :20:17.represents 5% of our business, what we are seeing in the UK, the
:20:18. > :20:21.companies we are supplying to are doing very well. Significant
:20:22. > :20:25.investment, significant growth in their sectors so there is hope here,
:20:26. > :20:29.with some of the things I have mentioned, reduction in corps
:20:30. > :20:34.co-ration tax, what that means is we can retain that money, invest for
:20:35. > :20:38.the future and create more wealth because fundamentally there is only
:20:39. > :20:43.three-ways to create it, dig it out of the ground, you grow it or you
:20:44. > :20:46.make thing, and that is what we as a manufacturer do, we will therefore
:20:47. > :20:52.recruit more people, we have doubled or staff in the last few year, we
:20:53. > :20:56.have gone from 1200 to 2700 over the last six year, so and those people
:20:57. > :20:59.pay tax, we pay more corporation tax, so you know, from the
:21:00. > :21:03.manufacturing sector, generally things are good and those of us
:21:04. > :21:07.exporting are still doing well. Thank you all very much. Chris,
:21:08. > :21:14.Nathan, Emily and Sarah. Manufacture Let us know what you think, and you
:21:15. > :21:16.can keep up-to-date online with our budget live update tsds and the key
:21:17. > :21:25.points. -- updates.
:21:26. > :21:34.More tributes to Paul Daniels who has died today at the age of 77.
:21:35. > :21:39.We will have much more coming up. Also still to come, the doctor who
:21:40. > :21:47.has acted as an expert witness for parents accused of killing or
:21:48. > :21:52.harming their children, we find out if a fitness to practise has been
:21:53. > :22:04.put in place. She says she is not prepared for losing her job.
:22:05. > :22:06.The magician and comedian, Paul Daniels, has died
:22:07. > :22:10.He became one of the biggest stars on television during the eighties,

:25:41. > :25:44.Oxfordshire countryside when Paul and Debbie drove past, I thought I
:25:45. > :25:50.are follow them, little did I know they weren't on their way home so I
:25:51. > :25:53.was even more lost than ever." Side when Paul and Debbie drove past, I
:25:54. > :25:56.thought I are follow them, little did I know they weren't on their way
:25:57. > :25:59.home so I was even more lost than ever." Ian said "Paul Daniel made it
:26:00. > :26:02.seem so simple until you I know they weren't on their way home so I was
:26:03. > :26:04.even more lost than ever." Ian said "Paul Daniel made it seem so simple
:26:05. > :26:07.until you stopped to think." "Paul Daniels inspired me to be a
:26:08. > :26:09.magician, love you Paul. Ian said "Paul Daniel made it seem so simple
:26:10. > :26:12.until you stopped to think." "Paul Daniels inspired me to be a
:26:13. > :26:15.magician, love you Paul." Ian "A sad loss, Ian said "Paul Daniel made it
:26:16. > :26:17.seem so simple until you stopped to think." "Paul Daniels inspired me to
:26:18. > :26:20.be a magician, love you Paul." Ian "A sad loss, a real entertainer."
:26:21. > :26:23."When Paul was on strictly he was aroom calmer." Another one says I
:26:24. > :26:25.worked with Paul in panto, he was a wonderful kind man, they were a joy
:26:26. > :26:28.to work alongside. He never failed to entertain us with his close up
:26:29. > :26:32.magic and enthusiasm for his craft was infectious, a truly sad loss. We
:26:33. > :26:37.can talk to someone inspired by Paul Daniels, the magician Jamie Raven.
:26:38. > :26:42.Jamie, tell us, what it was about Paul Daniels that inspired you? Yes,
:26:43. > :26:49.I think as a magician, fist and foremost you want people to be
:26:50. > :26:51.amazed an impressed. What Paul did was he managed to entertain
:26:52. > :26:54.everybody through the whole process, it wasn't just what he did that
:26:55. > :26:59.amazing everybody, it was how he did it, and the jokes and the patter and
:27:00. > :27:04.you know, the fun he had with even while he was doing it that got me
:27:05. > :27:08.and yes, a sad day. We are seeing a picture of you with Paul, is that a
:27:09. > :27:15.moment when you met your hero? Yes, it wasn't the first time I met him.
:27:16. > :27:19.That was after I did, I was on Britain's Got Talent. Debbie has a
:27:20. > :27:23.radio show and I live in Berkshire, I met him a couple of times before.
:27:24. > :27:30.I went for an interview, she said Paul is coming in the you want to
:27:31. > :27:34.hang on. We had a chat and we had a lovely chat and yes, that was, that
:27:35. > :27:39.was not the last time but one of the last times I saw him. Was he a sort
:27:40. > :27:46.of big on screen fig you for you growing up? Yes, -- figure As most
:27:47. > :27:51.people my age, I am in my mid 30s, as I was growing up I caught the
:27:52. > :27:56.tail end of his career. Yes, in terms of magic in this country he,
:27:57. > :28:02.there is another... Paul Daniels was magic on the BBC and he brought,
:28:03. > :28:05.brought it back to public consciousness, for a long time and
:28:06. > :28:09.you know, there is not a single magician performing in this country
:28:10. > :28:13.that wasn't inspired by him or inspired by someone who was inspired
:28:14. > :28:17.by him. He made a huge difference to our world. When someone does
:28:18. > :28:22.something world the trick it is make it look easy, he made it look easy,
:28:23. > :28:27.but it is not that at all. You know, it is the old saying, for, you have
:28:28. > :28:31.to practise for 1,000 hours before you make it look like you can do it
:28:32. > :28:36.with your eyes shut. He was so skilled as a magician with his
:28:37. > :28:39.hands, he was brilliant with words, so he could disarm people and catch
:28:40. > :28:44.them off guard because he was making them laugh at the same time. It is
:28:45. > :28:47.one of the classic ploys to misdirect people's attention, you
:28:48. > :28:51.have to lead them elsewhere, so as I said before, that is what I loved
:28:52. > :28:56.about what he did, it wasn't just the tricks it was how he did them,
:28:57. > :29:00.and inspired generations since. We are seeing him performing some
:29:01. > :29:07.tricks here, in his heyday, is there one in particular that sticks with
:29:08. > :29:11.you? My favourite one is one of the simplest, a chop cup. A cup and
:29:12. > :29:14.ball, you had to guess where it was in the ball or in his pocket. You
:29:15. > :29:19.would get it wrong. Whatever you said was wrong. At the end, he would
:29:20. > :29:24.say, I will give it a flick. When you give give it a flick under the
:29:25. > :29:28.cup there is a lemon, this came out of nowhere, he said if you love the
:29:29. > :29:32.lemon you will go crazy for the orange. I remember watching that,
:29:33. > :29:36.you watch it and you know that that has come about through thousands of,
:29:37. > :29:40.tens of thousands of hours of practise and yes, that was my
:29:41. > :29:43.favourite. The cup and ball. I imagine when you are a magician, you
:29:44. > :29:48.can always entertain people with a trick or two and people want to be
:29:49. > :29:51.entertained. Yes, I think it is one of those things, that magic is great
:29:52. > :29:55.because when you watch it live, there is no comparison to it. If you
:29:56. > :30:01.watch it on television people will say if I was there it wouldn't get
:30:02. > :30:05.past me, and it is one of those only things you can do live and it is
:30:06. > :30:09.better than watching out the screen. If you have that skill you are
:30:10. > :30:14.always able to do something for someone, they might never see it
:30:15. > :30:16.again and it is special some time, profound, and something he was a
:30:17. > :30:22.master of. Do you think you would have gone into magic if you hadn't
:30:23. > :30:28.seen him on TV growing up? I doubt it to be honest, we all, we are all
:30:29. > :30:32.inspired to do something by someone and something they have done, if he
:30:33. > :30:35.hadn't been on television it would have been later on in my life I
:30:36. > :30:40.would have seen magic, I was interested because of what I saw him
:30:41. > :30:45.do, and that led me to, you know, look up other magicians and research
:30:46. > :30:48.and try and learn. If I hadn't seen him, yes, you say we probably
:30:49. > :30:51.wouldn't be talking now. And how will you remember him ultimately,
:30:52. > :30:56.obviously you have the memories, from your childhood, but then, in,
:30:57. > :31:04.recent years you met him. Yes, my memories will be as you say, first
:31:05. > :31:08.and foremost watching the master of it, I am biassed and it is an art.
:31:09. > :31:13.He was one of the best the world has produced. My real memory will be how
:31:14. > :31:16.generous and gracious he was with his time for people in our
:31:17. > :31:21.profession, with have lots of conventions in the magic world
:31:22. > :31:24.throughout the year and Paul loved magic, he was at almost all of them.
:31:25. > :31:29.If somebody would ask a question about a trick he would help them
:31:30. > :31:32.out. If you had a question about something else, maybe in the world
:31:33. > :31:36.of television or media he would help, he was someone who loved magic
:31:37. > :31:41.and was happy to give back and he left the craft of magic in a better
:31:42. > :31:42.place than hen he found it. That is the highest compliment I can pay
:31:43. > :31:54.him. Thank you. Lots of tributes coming through. One
:31:55. > :31:58.from Mark Lynsey saying, Paul was an outstanding showman, a great
:31:59. > :32:05.entertainer of the BBC, his long-running magic show delighted
:32:06. > :32:08.viewers, as did his quiz shows and children's favourite Wizzbit. He
:32:09. > :32:15.will be missed and thoughts are with his family.
:32:16. > :32:23.A Doctor Who acted as an expert witness has been found to have
:32:24. > :32:27.misled some courts. A disciplinary panel found that the Doctor Who
:32:28. > :32:31.disputes the diagnosis of Shaken Baby Syndrome skewed research to
:32:32. > :32:35.support her views. Dr Squire explained why she had a complete
:32:36. > :32:37.turn around in her perspective on Shaken Baby Syndrome when giving
:32:38. > :32:43.expert evidence. It was about the year 2000
:32:44. > :32:47.when I read more information published, more research had been
:32:48. > :32:53.published about shaken baby syndrome, and realised that this
:32:54. > :32:56.just didn't fit with the traditional belief that shaking was the cause
:32:57. > :32:58.of retinal and subdural haemorrhages in babies, that's bleeding behind
:32:59. > :33:01.the eyes and around the brain, This pathology made it
:33:02. > :33:06.clear that there may not necessarily be trauma
:33:07. > :33:09.in these babies. And so I read as much
:33:10. > :33:12.as I could about shaken baby syndrome, I went into great depth
:33:13. > :33:15.about the literature, and found that, indeed,
:33:16. > :33:17.there is very little evidence to support the shaken
:33:18. > :33:20.baby hypothesis which is the current
:33:21. > :33:22.mainstream view. So, from that moment,
:33:23. > :33:24.the evidence you were giving as an expert witness
:33:25. > :33:27.meant that you went from being in favour of the evidence
:33:28. > :33:31.being presented before you, indicating potential abuse
:33:32. > :33:34.of a child, to in fact regarding it Does that undermine
:33:35. > :33:40.you and your credibility? On the contrary, this indicates that
:33:41. > :33:43.I have taken on board the new research,
:33:44. > :33:46.I have done a lot of reading and study, looked
:33:47. > :33:50.at all the cases before me, and I've actually reassessed
:33:51. > :33:54.the information rather than sticking with
:33:55. > :33:57.the old hypothesis. So, do you completely believe that
:33:58. > :34:02.shaken baby syndrome, I think that we don't
:34:03. > :34:09.understand what the causes are of these features
:34:10. > :34:23.which have been described as shaken baby syndrome, and there is nothing
:34:24. > :34:26.I can find in the literature which supports the belief that
:34:27. > :34:30.shaking is the cause Of course, impact
:34:31. > :34:35.can do it and trauma can do it, and that may be
:34:36. > :34:38.accidental or inflicted, but I don't think that
:34:39. > :34:41.shaking is a reliable diagnosis unless we have a lot
:34:42. > :34:43.of supporting evidence, such as damage to
:34:44. > :34:48.the neck or grip marks and
:34:49. > :34:50.fractures. Would you see yourself
:34:51. > :34:52.as being on a mission to stop someone being convicted
:34:53. > :34:54.of something you No, I'm not on a mission
:34:55. > :34:59.at all and I'm not trying to stop convictions,
:35:00. > :35:02.because I'm perfectly aware that people abuse babies,
:35:03. > :35:05.and I've seen plenty of cases I'm just simply anxious to show
:35:06. > :35:10.that this is not an automatic diagnosis, and we need
:35:11. > :35:12.to look far more carefully and look at the range
:35:13. > :35:15.of possible explanations before we jump to a conclusion
:35:16. > :35:17.that a baby has During the course of the GMC
:35:18. > :35:22.investigation, since the GMC investigation began,
:35:23. > :35:25.you continued to give evidence as an expert witness,
:35:26. > :35:28.and that is something that has made The GMC may find
:35:29. > :35:39.you dishonest today. That could potentially
:35:40. > :35:41.mean that you would be This reflects on 32 years
:35:42. > :35:49.as a paediatric neuropathologist, I think,
:35:50. > :35:51.unblemished, many publications in scientific literature,
:35:52. > :35:54.and to have it all come to an end in this way is terribly,
:35:55. > :35:56.terribly painful. I would hope I can
:35:57. > :36:10.continue doing research Dominic Hughes, our Health
:36:11. > :36:16.Correspondent, tell us more about this case? As Dr Squire outlined,
:36:17. > :36:21.the background to this is this very bitter split within the scientific
:36:22. > :36:26.community over Shaken Baby Syndrome. The majority view, as Dr Squire
:36:27. > :36:30.explained, is the majority view is that three signs need to be present,
:36:31. > :36:35.so swelling of the brain, bleeding between the skull and the brain and
:36:36. > :36:39.bleeding in the retina. If those signs are present, broadly speaking,
:36:40. > :36:45.the majority view is that there is a good chance a baby has been shaken.
:36:46. > :36:50.Dr Squire believes those symptoms can be caused, those signs can be
:36:51. > :36:57.caused by other thing, for example a low level fall. But, the GMC, the
:36:58. > :37:01.panel, the independent panel that heard months and months of evidence
:37:02. > :37:05.from expert witnesses, was very clear that they weren't entering
:37:06. > :37:10.into a discussion of that scientific row, if you like. What they were
:37:11. > :37:15.looking at specifically was her conduct as an expert witness and,
:37:16. > :37:20.broadly speaking, there were two charges that she faced really. One
:37:21. > :37:26.was that she went way beyond the boundaries of where her expertise
:37:27. > :37:29.lay so she started in court cases talking about things like
:37:30. > :37:33.ophthalmology or biomechanics which as I understand it is what happens
:37:34. > :37:36.to the brain when the brain is moved around inside the skull through
:37:37. > :37:43.shaking, she started toe talk about those areas which she wasn't quality
:37:44. > :37:48.tide to talk about. The second charge -- wasn't qualified to talk
:37:49. > :37:51.about. The second charge is that she cherry picked from evidence of other
:37:52. > :37:56.cases to support the fact that maybe these babies hadn't been shaken. It
:37:57. > :38:03.centres around six particular cases. Dr Squire has given evidence in
:38:04. > :38:08.doeses of cases -- dozenses of cases. It's alleged she overstepped
:38:09. > :38:12.the mark and misrepresent odd they are people's research and that panel
:38:13. > :38:15.last week, on Friday, found she member misleading and dishonest.
:38:16. > :38:19.They say she was irresponsible in her evidence to the court. So today,
:38:20. > :38:23.what we are going to hear, is the second stage of this process about
:38:24. > :38:26.whether or not her fitness to practise as a doctor has been
:38:27. > :38:31.impaired in the light of those findings and then there is a further
:38:32. > :38:36.stage that, given that, if they do find she's been impaired, then they
:38:37. > :38:39.will next week I understand, decide what sanctions they are going to
:38:40. > :38:44.bring against her. That could be anything from no sanctions to
:38:45. > :38:46.operating under supervision or limitations or being struck off from
:38:47. > :39:00.the medical register all together. Charities say they everythey have
:39:01. > :39:06.been denied millions of pounds because of messages on websites
:39:07. > :39:18.which suggest donation may be more from one person had the part of the
:39:19. > :39:26.Giftaid taken off. And the migrant crisis is top of the agenda today.
:39:27. > :39:30.A deal has broadly been agreed. For each Syrian sent back, a Syrian
:39:31. > :39:35.already in Turkey would be resettled in the EU. Turkey would also get
:39:36. > :39:38.extra money and more progress on the country's integration with the EU.
:39:39. > :39:44.That summit will take place later today. But what about the migrant
:39:45. > :39:45.who is've survived the journey? They have been recounting their perilous
:39:46. > :40:16.voyage. The journey from the Turkish shore
:40:17. > :40:19.to the Greek shore was very horrific, because
:40:20. > :41:40.we've got children. Our correspondents Rob
:41:41. > :41:48.Watson is in Brussels. What is likely to happen with this
:41:49. > :41:53.deal? I often think the summits are doomed to success in the sense that
:41:54. > :41:57.diplomats can't bear the idea of politicians walking away from an EU
:41:58. > :42:00.summit, it would send off such a terrible signal, but obvious think
:42:01. > :42:05.there are some big questions out there. If there is a deal, will it
:42:06. > :42:09.work? In other words, will this plan of deterring people from setting out
:42:10. > :42:12.on this journey by returning people from Greece toe Turkey, is that
:42:13. > :42:16.practical, will it be legal, can that be pulled off? Then of course,
:42:17. > :42:22.the second big issue at the summit is, what price, what political price
:42:23. > :42:27.EU member states are willing to pay Turkey for its cooperation. In some
:42:28. > :42:32.ways, these EU summits are doomed to success, people need a deal. The
:42:33. > :42:36.question is, will it work? Thank you Rob.

:43:09. > :43:12.doing us proud. Picture from Dorset this morning, a lovely sun rise. It
:43:13. > :43:17.wasn't like that everywhere. In Norfolk, a lot of low cloud and also
:43:18. > :43:21.some fog. Now, what is happening is, we have very low cloud rolling in
:43:22. > :43:24.from the North Sea, it's a cold North Sea, so some of this is taking
:43:25. > :43:29.its time to clear. It's not everywhere. As we drift over to the
:43:30. > :43:35.other side of the country in Cumbria, we have blue skies, so we

:43:44. > :43:48.It will be thin and it will break and we'll see some sunshine today.
:43:49. > :43:53.Hurray for that. Today we have sunny spells. There is
:43:54. > :43:57.an exception to that rule, that is across parts of eastern Scotland and
:43:58. > :44:02.also parts of eastern England. Now, we've had a lot of cloud here in the
:44:03. > :44:13.last few days but it's not going to be as extensive today. You can see
:44:14. > :44:17.where we have the cloud. Some of the cloud is high and some is low in
:44:18. > :44:20.Northern Ireland, but it will all tend to lift, thin and break and we
:44:21. > :44:25.are in for a pleasant afternoon. It will take a while to lift from the
:44:26. > :44:28.central lowlands and you can see how it's on the coastline of eastern
:44:29. > :44:32.Scotland and north-east England. Possibly as far south as
:44:33. > :44:35.Lincolnshire. If you are in Northern Ireland, happy St Patrick's Day, we
:44:36. > :44:39.are looking at a lovely afternoon, a lot of sunshine. Temperatures up to
:44:40. > :44:44.about nine in Belfast. Across Scotland, a lot of sunshine. When we
:44:45. > :44:52.lose the stubborn cloud, you might find it will take time before it
:44:53. > :44:57.completely lifts. We are back into the sunshine in
:44:58. > :45:02.Cumbria and Lancashire. Where we have got all the cloud,
:45:03. > :45:08.that too will thin and break. We'll have some sunshine. Not such a keen

:45:18. > :45:21.today. Today is likely to be the sunniest day of the week with the
:45:22. > :45:26.most widespread sunshine. Got that too across the Cheltenham area. It
:45:27. > :45:28.will be cloudy and there is the risk of drizzle tomorrow and it will feel
:45:29. > :45:33.cold. The cloud in the east tonight drifts
:45:34. > :45:37.inland. Patchy low cloud amongst that with some fog and drizzle. Out
:45:38. > :45:40.towards the west, under clearer skies, it's going to be cold and
:45:41. > :45:44.some prone areas will see some frost. Tomorrow morning, we still
:45:45. > :45:48.will have high pressure firmly dominating our weather. If anything,
:45:49. > :45:51.it drifts north-west, so the distribution of the cloud moving
:45:52. > :45:55.around it will be slightly different. From tomorrow, across
:45:56. > :46:00.much of England, there'll be a lot of cloud. Some of that will be low.
:46:01. > :46:05.You can see some drizzle from it. For the south-west, Wales and
:46:06. > :46:10.north-west England, along with Scotland and Northern Ireland, we'll
:46:11. > :46:14.see some sunshine. The temperatures are coming down a touch. Into the
:46:15. > :46:20.weekend with high pressure clinging on by the skin of its teeth, still

:54:25. > :54:29.talk to some people who knew him in a moment, but first let us look at
:54:30. > :54:34.what made him special. You have to take one of those bands
:54:35. > :54:37.and put it round my first so the ring cannot get out. Happy with
:54:38. > :54:41.that? Super. This is the trick. This is the one where people have been
:54:42. > :54:45.known to give me a standing ovation. Right? I do not tell you that
:54:46. > :54:48.because I particularly need one, I just don't want you to be
:54:49. > :54:53.embarrassed when you are the only one left sitting down.
:54:54. > :54:58.Now, this is your handkerchief. If I put that there, and push very hard
:54:59. > :55:02.on this end, a very interesting phenomenon will happen, it will make
:55:03. > :55:07.a hole in the handkerchief there, and a hole at the other end as it
:55:08. > :55:12.goes out. I can see you are impressed. The other alternative...
:55:13. > :55:16.No, no, the other alternative is it would come out this hand because the
:55:17. > :55:20.pressure there is too great. Do you understand that? Yes, yes. You wrap
:55:21. > :55:24.your wring up tight. Hold the end of the stick, you hold the other end,
:55:25. > :55:29.now you are both in on the act. I pronounce you man and wife now. You
:55:30. > :55:33.are not together? You are not? Sorry, I didn't realise that. If I
:55:34. > :55:38.had realised that what I would have done was put the band round, the
:55:39. > :55:43.handkerchief leek that, it is your ring, it is your ring, you
:55:44. > :55:48.handkerchief. Watch. Now that is right on there, and that is magic.
:55:49. > :55:52.Applause applause. Have a look at that. Nothing will be added, nothing
:55:53. > :55:56.taken away, this is a piece of cardboard, the piece of cardboard I
:55:57. > :56:02.am going to put over the top but as you can see, it does not affect the
:56:03. > :56:06.coins, it is merely, a little cover, you cannot see the jiggery-pokery,
:56:07. > :56:12.look at this. One pound and six pence. That is the total amount. If
:56:13. > :56:18.I start to move the Cowen coins round and then having moved them
:56:19. > :56:25.round like that, I take out the penny. Like this. The question is,
:56:26. > :56:29.if I put that in my pocket how much is left underneath the piece of
:56:30. > :56:33.cardboard, nothing will be added. Well, normally you would say a pound
:56:34. > :56:37.and five pence if you are good at math, it is not the case, there is
:56:38. > :56:41.still a pound and six pence, but I have moved them into a different
:56:42. > :56:45.order. Perhaps you were not watching closely enough. Over here, is a
:56:46. > :56:49.pound, over here is the penny, over here is the five pence piece. I will
:56:50. > :56:55.cover them up again with the same piece of card as before, nothing
:56:56. > :56:59.added, finger-tip, nothing in the hands, watch carefully. I go
:57:00. > :57:05.underneath here, and what I am going to do now, is I am going to move the
:57:06. > :57:10.coins round and take out this one. This is a five pence piece, very
:57:11. > :57:16.tiny coin to see on TV. There it is. I am going to put that in my pocket.
:57:17. > :57:21.How much have I got left? If you are any good at math it is a pound and a
:57:22. > :57:25.penny, but that not the right answer, underneath here I still have
:57:26. > :57:30.a pound and six pence. Which is where we came in. I am going to do
:57:31. > :57:35.it again, then. All you have to do is cover them over like this, and
:57:36. > :57:38.then what you do is you make sure that when you do it cover the coin,
:57:39. > :57:44.you cover them up and move them round and when you move them round,
:57:45. > :57:47.look, watch, I take out this time, the pound, and only the pound, if I
:57:48. > :57:54.take the point out like that and put it in my pocket, as I did before,
:57:55. > :58:01.how much have I got underneath here? A pound and six pence? No. Nothing
:58:02. > :58:05.at all. In fact, I -- you 1.06. This is your chance the clean out the
:58:06. > :58:10.bank, you have ten, I have 20, I will give you two to one. I am going
:58:11. > :58:16.to take the Queen and bend the corner.
:58:17. > :58:20.All right. Now, Can you see the corner of the Queen is bent. Would
:58:21. > :58:26.you like to make sure it is still the Queen? Yes. It is. Isn't it. Now
:58:27. > :58:30.these are the two black three, this is the Queen with the corner bent.
:58:31. > :58:33.All you have to do is keep your eye on the Queen, there, it has its
:58:34. > :58:40.corner bent. These two it doesn't matter, these are the three, where
:58:41. > :58:45.is the Queen for ?10? There. Certainly if you like. ?10. That is
:58:46. > :58:54.it, it is a black three, and... APPLAUSE.
:58:55. > :59:00.It is a shame. Don't feel worried about it. This phrase we have got
:59:01. > :59:03.round the booth heads you lose and tails I win, you don't stand a
:59:04. > :59:07.chance. A chap came up to me he had a three card trick, he said look,
:59:08. > :59:13.three cards and he asked me if I could do it. I said of course. I'm a
:59:14. > :59:16.genius at it. He said if you are such a genius guess where the black
:59:17. > :59:22.card is, I said on the bottom. He said that is a red. I said it must
:59:23. > :59:28.be on the top. He said no, red, I said middle he said a red. I said
:59:29. > :59:34.are you asking me to bet on a black card you have three red cards. He
:59:35. > :59:41.said no need the lose your hair, get on the press. I said it must be the
:59:42. > :59:47.one on the top. He said no, black, I said the middle, he said it is the
:59:48. > :59:53.black card. I said what is that for? He said that's for laughs.
:59:54. > :59:58.Don't think you are going to lose, we have this week's star prize just
:59:59. > :00:01.for you, here you have, you have won a coconut.
:00:02. > :00:06.Thank you. Enjoy the rest of the show.
:00:07. > :00:10.Great old fashioned magic delivered with panache, he wasn't just about
:00:11. > :00:17.the magic he was about the fun, the humour and many sly digs right back
:00:18. > :00:22.at himself We can talk to Graham rude who
:00:23. > :00:27.worked with you. You spoke to Debbie this morning, didn't you. Yes
:00:28. > :00:32.indeed, it was terribly sad news even though we knew it was going to
:00:33. > :00:39.happen, my heart goes out to Debbie and to Paul's family. He was a great
:00:40. > :00:43.guy, a great friend, we were friends for 57 years, and I have so many
:00:44. > :00:48.happy memories. As do lots of people. We were watching back some
:00:49. > :00:54.of his show, that you worked on, didn't you. Tell us what your role
:00:55. > :00:59.was alongside Paul? My title was magical consultant on the show. I
:01:00. > :01:03.was on it for 12 years and it was terrific, we were a real team, we
:01:04. > :01:10.worked hard, we had a yob to do at the end of the day, to produce the
:01:11. > :01:17.TV show, which was often seen by 17, 20 million people. And, but it was a
:01:18. > :01:21.team, and Paul who was the main man, was great to work with, he was a lot
:01:22. > :01:27.of fun, but the end of the day he had a job to do, as I said, but he
:01:28. > :01:33.looked after you, he was a very kind person, as well, if he knew you had
:01:34. > :01:38.a problem, or, worry of some kind he would be the first to be there to
:01:39. > :01:45.help you. He, he really was a genuine person. And Debbie, his
:01:46. > :01:47.wife, an absolute treasure, as a married couple you count wish for a
:01:48. > :01:56.more devoted couple. We are seeing a picture of you with
:01:57. > :02:01.both of them. You said he had a job to do, but he made it look
:02:02. > :02:08.effortless. Did he see it as a jo? Even at the height of his fame, we'd
:02:09. > :02:13.go to a magical convention or whatever, or into a magic shop and
:02:14. > :02:17.he'd be worried about the latest stuff and would be playing around
:02:18. > :02:22.with it, as we all do when we are just beginning. He just loved it. He
:02:23. > :02:26.was an entertainer without any shadow of a doubt. I think that a
:02:27. > :02:29.large part of that started in the working men's clubs which, believe
:02:30. > :02:37.you me, were vrksth very, very tough indeed. Very often, the audience
:02:38. > :02:42.would sit with their backs to the stage when you were introduced. You
:02:43. > :02:46.had to jolly well be good to make them turn around and enjoy you and
:02:47. > :02:53.Paul was a master, he was a people person. Also, full credit to his mum
:02:54. > :02:58.and dad who were very supportive and encouraged him and, in the latter
:02:59. > :03:02.years, as I've already mentioned, David Cameron by, his most devoted
:03:03. > :03:05.wife and partner on the stage as well as off, that you could wish
:03:06. > :03:09.for. You mentioned his mum and dad. What
:03:10. > :03:14.did he say to you about the little boy who was shaped into the man in
:03:15. > :03:21.the end who became a magician, what was it that mad him want to go into
:03:22. > :03:28.the magic? His dad used to make some of his early props. His mum used to
:03:29. > :03:37.sew curtains and all that kind of stuff. They've got to have full
:03:38. > :03:44.credit. I remember once being at Paul's house. There were discussions
:03:45. > :03:49.about a project. Paul's mum looked out of the window and said, there's
:03:50. > :03:53.somebody sitting in the car who, is it, and one of the executives said,
:03:54. > :03:56.it's a chauffeur, don't worry about it and Paul's mum said, well he's
:03:57. > :04:02.not sitting out there, he can come in here for a cup of tea with us and
:04:03. > :04:09.he came. And that kindness, that sort of thinking about people, it
:04:10. > :04:14.went right the way through. I remember being at a magic auction
:04:15. > :04:18.and we were bidding for various bits and pieces and there was a young kid
:04:19. > :04:23.wanting a wand. He was bidding for it. There was an older man bidding
:04:24. > :04:28.for it as well, he obviously had more money for the kid, then Paul
:04:29. > :04:33.started bidding, and it went up to quite a price. Paul got it and
:04:34. > :04:37.handed it over to the young boy and said "enjoy it, pal". And that was
:04:38. > :04:45.so typical of him. Lots of things that people didn't see, perhaps,
:04:46. > :04:50.which he would do and more perhaps in the limelight, he was the King
:04:51. > :04:54.rat of the water rats on two occasions which I think is unheard
:04:55. > :05:01.of. He did his bit for charity as well. First class guy in every
:05:02. > :05:06.single way and I shall miss him. The weeshed thing is, he meant so much
:05:07. > :05:11.to me, and I've known him for so long, that there will be a time when
:05:12. > :05:17.I feel as though he's still there. I'm not a religious person, but his
:05:18. > :05:24.presence will always be with me. It's a very, very sad day, but so
:05:25. > :05:31.many happy memories. His quality of life was staggering from the north
:05:32. > :05:35.working men's clubs to being an international superstar. It's a
:05:36. > :05:39.journey not many can take. How did he face up to his illness at the end
:05:40. > :05:51.and the fact that he knew he didn't have very long left? Well, I wasn't
:05:52. > :05:56.with him at the end. Paul and Debbie phoned when he'd finished a
:05:57. > :06:03.pantomime, perhaps he wasn't 100%, but I don't think Paul ever fully
:06:04. > :06:09.appreciated just how badly his illness was. Luckily, and we have
:06:10. > :06:16.all got to be grateful for this, Paul passed away in his sleep. He
:06:17. > :06:21.would know nothing about it. I'm just so grateful for that. If you've
:06:22. > :06:27.got to go, the way to go is in your sleep, Joanna. . You know, Paul, he
:06:28. > :06:36.wouldn't want us to be depressed and sad now. He'd be wanting us to
:06:37. > :06:41.remember his life. That's what we'll try to do. It's a tough ask at the
:06:42. > :06:43.moment, I'm afraid, but I'll miss him a lot. Thank you, thank you
:06:44. > :06:54.Graham. We can talk to Syd Little who was
:06:55. > :06:58.one half of the comedy duo Little Large who worked with Paul
:06:59. > :07:03.throughout the '80s. Thank you for joining us, a very sad day. What are
:07:04. > :07:07.your memories? A very sad day. Quite shocked really. I didn't realise
:07:08. > :07:13.Paul was that ill, I knew he was ill but not that ill and it was a shock
:07:14. > :07:18.this morning. We go back, as the gentleman before was talking about,
:07:19. > :07:22.to the working men's clubs in the '60s with Paul up in the north-east
:07:23. > :07:28.in England where he's from originally. It was hard. He was
:07:29. > :07:34.great. You saw his potential then even in those days and thought,
:07:35. > :07:39.well, you know, he's great, and he loved the sleight of hand and the
:07:40. > :07:43.card tricks, that was his forte. He was always striving for new things
:07:44. > :07:48.all the time. When the television show came on, it showed he was
:07:49. > :07:59.always doing different things, looking for different tricks. He
:08:00. > :08:06.never stopped, he was a work aholic. You were part of that generation
:08:07. > :08:13.where if you made it on to TV, you were big? He loved it all so much, I
:08:14. > :08:19.think that was it, that was his life really. I don't think he thought too
:08:20. > :08:24.much of the fame side of it. He enjoyed what he was doing, it was
:08:25. > :08:28.magic. Syd Little, thank you very much. Lots of you commenting on
:08:29. > :08:40.social media. Do tell us how you remember Paul Daniels.
:08:41. > :08:42.Charities say they've been denied millions of pounds
:08:43. > :08:45.all because of personal messages written by donors on the UK's
:08:46. > :08:49.Messages like from Mum and Dad, which suggested donations may have
:08:50. > :08:52.been from more than one person, had the gift aid part
:08:53. > :08:56.Just Giving, who's been removing the gift aid, said they'd done it
:08:57. > :08:58.in response to a crackdown from the taxman -
:08:59. > :09:01.HMRC denies they told JustGiving to do it.
:09:02. > :09:04.Giftaid works by allowing charities to claim back the 20 per cent
:09:05. > :09:07.basic-rate tax you've already paid on the money you donate.
:09:08. > :09:10.We can speak now to Victoria Pudney, who lost out on some money
:09:11. > :09:12.when she was fundraising for Brain Tumour Research
:09:13. > :09:14.after her son Charlie got tumour Kirstie Meredith,
:09:15. > :09:19.who had the gift aid donation taken off a donation made to her son,
:09:20. > :09:34.Ashley Bailey, from Brain Tumour Research and Andrew O'Brien,
:09:35. > :09:42.Kirsty, tell us what happened to you first? My husband donate toed my
:09:43. > :09:47.son's page. By 24th February, it had been removed. I noticed it and said
:09:48. > :09:52.to my husband, did you not tick the Gift Aid box and he said, of course
:09:53. > :10:00.I did. He said he had a print out that proved that he did tick the
:10:01. > :10:03.box. So basically my husband e-mailed just giving thinking it
:10:04. > :10:07.could be a mistake because at that point my husband was only the second
:10:08. > :10:12.point to make a donation on the page. They never responded to the
:10:13. > :10:21.e-mail and, because I then noticed that other Gift Aid had been removed
:10:22. > :10:27.from the page, I then rang Just Giving who said they were instructed
:10:28. > :10:33.by HMRC to remove the Gift Aid if more than one person Hadow
:10:34. > :10:37.negotiated. My husband, being an accountant, we trolled HMRC's site
:10:38. > :10:42.for a directive about this and there wasn't one. So I then rang HMRC who
:10:43. > :10:48.then eventually, when I got to speak to the correct person, said that
:10:49. > :10:56.it's a misunderstanding and they are trying to crack down on people that
:10:57. > :11:02.are doing raffles, coffee mornings and donating through one person and
:11:03. > :11:06.claiming Gift Aid which you are not allowed to do and I understand that,
:11:07. > :11:15.because the money has been raised by several people. But Just Giving were
:11:16. > :11:19.not very forthcoming, they have changed their donation page which
:11:20. > :11:27.now, when you are ticking to get Gift Aid, it now says "I am not a
:11:28. > :11:33.close relative, I am not related" at the point of donating, which is just
:11:34. > :11:40.ridiculous because most people that run a half marathon do rely upon
:11:41. > :11:46.their family to make donations. I think more upsetting for me, the
:11:47. > :11:52.charities have lost out on the 25% Gift Aid. Victoria, you have been
:11:53. > :11:56.fund-raising for brain due more research after your son was
:11:57. > :12:00.diagnosed with a brain tumour. How has this affected you? I had no idea
:12:01. > :12:06.this had taken place which is the worrying thing really. I was told by
:12:07. > :12:14.the charity that some of my donations had been affected. We were
:12:15. > :12:18.none the wiser. It was all very confusing, so it's just kind of not
:12:19. > :12:21.knowing and also you give money on the pretext that that is what is
:12:22. > :12:26.going to happen, then when it doesn't and you are not told, it
:12:27. > :12:32.seems a bit unethical. Do you know how much the amount has added up to?
:12:33. > :12:37.Not exactly, no. It's not insignificant. Ashley, it's small
:12:38. > :12:41.amounts of money potentially on individual cases, but adding up to a
:12:42. > :12:46.lot. Tell us the impact it's having? Absolutely. The impact for us in
:12:47. > :12:52.November which is the one month that can calculate when it was deductd
:12:53. > :12:58.was 3% of our income so over a year that would be ?120 100,000 that
:12:59. > :13:02.would affect our work. We invest ?2,740 a day on research, so that's
:13:03. > :13:05.over a month's research we wouldn't be able to perform as a result of
:13:06. > :13:09.that. Did you have advance notice that that was going to happen and
:13:10. > :13:13.how did you find out about it? We found out when the reduction was
:13:14. > :13:16.going to be made. We had notification of the amount and then
:13:17. > :13:21.it was slow coming through, when it finally did come through it TSB
:13:22. > :13:25.reduced by ?4,000 which was the November amount -- it had been
:13:26. > :13:28.reduced. I've spoken to Just Giving to speak about what they were doing
:13:29. > :13:34.to the month subsequent to November and I understand they had their own
:13:35. > :13:37.processes for reducing the Gift Aid on certain claims and that would
:13:38. > :13:43.have affected the other lady you are speaking to today. Andrew, what has
:13:44. > :13:48.caused this issue to arise? I think it's partly people not having a
:13:49. > :13:53.clear understanding of Gift Aid. It's a complex process and people
:13:54. > :13:56.think they are leaving a harmless message but HMRC are picking that up
:13:57. > :13:59.as multiple donations which isn't the case. That is part of the
:14:00. > :14:03.problem. Is it that difficult to pick through? Is it not clear one
:14:04. > :14:07.someone's ticked various boxes or whatever whether it's a donation
:14:08. > :14:10.from an individual albeit signed by other people effectively or it's an
:14:11. > :14:14.amount of money raised by a group of people? It can be a bit unclear
:14:15. > :14:20.because the nature of the message is, if it says love from mum and dad
:14:21. > :14:24.for example, if it's come from one person's bank account, HMRC is
:14:25. > :14:32.trying to second guess whether one person or two people have made that
:14:33. > :14:36.donation. What will happen going forward because Just Giving has said
:14:37. > :14:40.charities like Ashley's will be reimbursed. Is there going to be
:14:41. > :14:46.clarity going forward? We hope so, we are calling on HMRC to make the
:14:47. > :14:51.rules clearer. Gift Aid is 16 years old, it needs to be updated. For
:14:52. > :14:56.non-traditional families as well, we are going to work with them to make
:14:57. > :15:01.the rules clearer and with online providers. What about curse Kirsty
:15:02. > :15:05.was saying about the tick boxes asking questions that ask, are you
:15:06. > :15:08.related to this person, how is that relevant? They are trying to find
:15:09. > :15:13.out whether there is a connection between individuals giving money so
:15:14. > :15:24.they are trying to spot if people are using raffles, bake sales et
:15:25. > :15:30.cetera and raise ago lot of money. They are trying to investigate
:15:31. > :15:37.whether investments are right or wrong and that requires education.
:15:38. > :15:41.Is it Just Just Giving that are falling foul of this? No. Kirsty,
:15:42. > :15:48.how do you feel about it now? Well, I'm glad attention has been brought
:15:49. > :15:54.to it, but I, with my discussions with Gist Giving, they have manually
:15:55. > :16:02.removed the Gift Aid proportion and I feel if they can manually remove
:16:03. > :16:06.it, they can manually go back and re-put the Gift Aid back for the
:16:07. > :16:09.individuals that have lost out and the charities that have lost out.
:16:10. > :16:12.What about that, Andrew? Why isn't it easy just to fix it, if it was as
:16:13. > :16:24.easy to take it away? The relationship is such they can't
:16:25. > :16:30.easily identify which have been accepted is or rejected. What we
:16:31. > :16:35.need to see is a much greater information sharing. Was there an
:16:36. > :16:41.issue with Gift Aid being wrongly declared, knowingly by people, do
:16:42. > :16:44.you think? I don't think, I think most people claim Gift Aid end in a
:16:45. > :16:50.legitimate way, there is no reason to suggest there is an issue of
:16:51. > :16:56.people trying to claim it. First of all, the Gift Aid not being fit for
:16:57. > :17:00.the modern age where people are using digital platforms, but there's
:17:01. > :17:05.there is an issue round whether Gift Aid itself is, you know, been
:17:06. > :17:11.designed in a way that helps people to maximise their donations and that
:17:12. > :17:18.they understand that. That requires them to educate about Gift Aid and
:17:19. > :17:24.what a good donation is an what is eligible and ineligible. Thank you.
:17:25. > :17:31.HMR said: They also told us they work very
:17:32. > :17:34.closely with charities to ensure the gift aid rules are applied

:22:02. > :22:06.Here is the Red Book, it is only today we get a chance to go through
:22:07. > :22:10.it all, and, all sorts of creepy-crawlies come out. The
:22:11. > :22:14.biggest centres on the Chancellor's big idea which is he wants by the
:22:15. > :22:20.end of this Parliament to balance the book, more to make sure we have
:22:21. > :22:26.some cash to spare, that we have had a surplus, what he is aiming for is
:22:27. > :22:32.a ?10 billion surplus, in other words, we will have 10 billion quid
:22:33. > :22:36.in the bank. Now, a lot of people are pretty iffy about whether that
:22:37. > :22:41.is possible, because when you look at the numbers, it shows that in the
:22:42. > :22:46.last year of the Parliament, there is some heroic assumptions there, in
:22:47. > :22:50.the last year the Parliament, we will actually have a ?20 billion
:22:51. > :22:54.deficit, in other words, we will be ?20 billion in the red and in the
:22:55. > :23:01.space of a year, the Chancellor wants to turn that into a ?10
:23:02. > :23:03.billion surplus, now, the institute, the Office for Budget
:23:04. > :23:06.Responsibility, the people who kind of cast their eye over the
:23:07. > :23:12.Chancellor's numbers to make sure they add up, they have said frankly
:23:13. > :23:16.there is only a 55% chance, half-and-half chance of Mr Osborne
:23:17. > :23:23.being able to meet that central objective, more than that, the big
:23:24. > :23:28.think-tank in this area, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said we
:23:29. > :23:32.don't think we can probably do this without more tax rises and spending
:23:33. > :23:37.cuts. Mr Osborne was insisting that wouldn't be necessary this morning.
:23:38. > :23:40.I have set out the plan, in the budget, and then a completely
:23:41. > :23:43.independent body, which everyone respects called the Office for
:23:44. > :23:48.Budget Responsibility, has looked at the plans and it says if you hold to
:23:49. > :23:53.course, if you deliver the plan, if the economy grows as expected, then
:23:54. > :23:58.we will have a surplus towards the end of the Parliament, so we
:23:59. > :24:02.wouldn't need anything extra like more spending tax cuts or increase,
:24:03. > :24:06.we don't need those things now because we have the plans and the
:24:07. > :24:11.plans are assessed to deliver the security.
:24:12. > :24:14.The The other creepy-crawly to come out of this Red Book Joanna is Mr
:24:15. > :24:19.Importance's argument that the reason the economy is struggling, is
:24:20. > :24:23.basically because of everyone else, the global slow down, he told us
:24:24. > :24:28.yesterday, let me give you his words, he said the outlock for the
:24:29. > :24:32.global economy is weak and makes it a dangerous cocktail of risks, for
:24:33. > :24:35.the UK. In other words, it is the slow down in China, it is
:24:36. > :24:40.instability in the Middle East, it is plummeting oil price, it is all
:24:41. > :24:44.those sort of things that are causing us problems, but when you go
:24:45. > :24:50.through the Red Book, what appears to be the real issue is
:24:51. > :24:53.productivity, what we actually produce, as individuals, and the

:25:29. > :25:33.and that seems to be one of the main reasons we are in such economic

:25:38. > :25:42.have been announced. A real storm seems to be building up here,
:25:43. > :25:46.because you know, the biggest amount of cuts pencilled in by the
:25:47. > :25:52.Chancellor yesterday were actually on disability benefit, he is
:25:53. > :25:56.planning to trim round ?4 billion from the personal independence
:25:57. > :26:00.payments, which are given to people with disabilities to help them get
:26:01. > :26:03.back in to work, to help them with transport costs and the extra
:26:04. > :26:08.support they need to get back in to work. He wants to hack back round 4
:26:09. > :26:12.billion from that and there is a lot of unease in the Conservative Party
:26:13. > :26:16.too, it thatn't sort of broken out publicly but a lot of Tory MPs are
:26:17. > :26:22.saying hang on, how is this going to work? What are the details of this
:26:23. > :26:25.and why are we cuts benefits for the disabled when we are offering tax
:26:26. > :26:31.cuts to better off families, never mind Labour who are trying to find a
:26:32. > :26:36.way of forcing a vote on the issue. This was their Shadow Chancellor
:26:37. > :26:40.this morning. We are urging them now to think very carefully about then
:26:41. > :26:43.decisions that George Osborne made yesterday, because we have always
:26:44. > :26:46.said austerity is not an economic necessity, it is a political choice,
:26:47. > :26:52.he made his choices yesterday. He decided he would cut the taxes of
:26:53. > :26:56.capital gains tax to the ripest five % in society. He would pay for that
:26:57. > :27:02.by cutting benefits to people with disability, that is unacceptable.
:27:03. > :27:06.You know what this reminds me a bit of, it is early days but it has the
:27:07. > :27:13.potential to be another I tax credit row, you remember before the Autumn
:27:14. > :27:17.Statement, Mr Osborne wanted to pare back on tax credits and he was
:27:18. > :27:20.forced to back off. You get the sense this could develop into a
:27:21. > :27:25.similar problem for Mr Osborne. The only thing that makes it harder for
:27:26. > :27:31.him to back off is because saving this 4 billion is absolutely central
:27:32. > :27:35.if he is to get anywhere near his key objective of balancing the books
:27:36. > :27:41.and achieving that surplus. Thank you Norman.

:28:11. > :28:15.Devon, a rural part of the country, so she was travelling between her
:28:16. > :28:19.elderly clients, visiting them, to wash them, to feed them, and to give
:28:20. > :28:24.them their medication, and because it was such a rural community she
:28:25. > :28:27.was working in she would travel great distances to visit them, often
:28:28. > :28:31.down narrow country roads, she took me on a tour of her work once and I
:28:32. > :28:35.could see that you know, there might be times when she was stuck behind a
:28:36. > :28:39.tractor and it could take more than half an hour to get to a client, but
:28:40. > :28:43.she wasn't being paid for any of that travel time. Not only that, as
:28:44. > :28:47.a result of not being paid for that travel time, she claimed that the
:28:48. > :28:51.company was in breach of the minimum wage regulation, so that is why she
:28:52. > :28:55.brought this case, that is why she was awarded this money and it was
:28:56. > :28:59.settled out of court by the company a few days ago. What are the
:29:00. > :29:04.implications of this? The interesting question is whether
:29:05. > :29:09.other carers come forward. The solicitors who represented her are
:29:10. > :29:13.appealing for carers to come forward and bring their own case, they think
:29:14. > :29:17.there could be hundreds that could benefit from a lawsuit. If you think
:29:18. > :29:21.about it, given the fact she got more than 1,000 pounds and she
:29:22. > :29:25.worked for the company for less than six months, row could see this could
:29:26. > :29:30.be costly, if enough of the carers come forward, that is what they are
:29:31. > :29:33.appealing for them to do. What is being said about, this, done about
:29:34. > :29:37.this? Is the Government, is there anything from the Government on it?
:29:38. > :29:41.I should say that the company have issued a statement to us, and have
:29:42. > :29:45.said they are disappointed that Caroline Barlow has chosen to take

:29:52. > :29:58.corrected carers ear pay where they thought it was necessary. They paid
:29:59. > :30:03.100 up to 2,000. The big of Government that is responsible for

:31:10. > :31:17.Tell us what happened to you, Amanda? I was exercising a dog that
:31:18. > :31:21.came in as a stray. It lasted eight weeks, he was fine and, out of the
:31:22. > :31:25.blue he attacked me. An hour-and-a-half it was, he kept
:31:26. > :31:30.coming back and taking chunks off me; I lost my left arm, nearly lost
:31:31. > :31:36.my right arm, he ripped a hole in my back, took muscle from my leg. Not a
:31:37. > :31:43.very nice experience in all. Did you fear he was going to kill you? Yes.
:31:44. > :31:48.I knew that if he could have got my throat, that would have been the end
:31:49. > :31:53.of me. So you did everything you could to protect your throat which
:31:54. > :31:58.saved your life potentially? Yes, yes, I stayed on my front and just
:31:59. > :32:02.tried to keep the dog calm because, if you panic in that sort of
:32:03. > :32:06.situation, because I worked with dogs I knew if I panicked any more
:32:07. > :32:10.than I was, he would have got into more of a frenzy and ripped me even
:32:11. > :32:14.harder. Oh, you said it was a dog that had
:32:15. > :32:20.been brought into the kennels, what did you know about what had happened
:32:21. > :32:27.to that dog prior to coming to you? To be honest with you, not a lot.
:32:28. > :32:30.But after the accident happened, we later discovered the dog had been
:32:31. > :32:33.chipped and had belonged to a lady who was banned from owning and
:32:34. > :32:40.breeding dangerous dogs and the police had taken her to court, she'd
:32:41. > :32:43.gone through all the trial, they'd decided she couldn't keep dogs any
:32:44. > :32:47.longer, but instead of taking the dogs from her, they left it to her
:32:48. > :32:51.to get rid of the dogs, and from what we can gather, she just
:32:52. > :32:59.released them into the streets and that's how they came to me. Do you
:33:00. > :33:03.think any dog or any certain breeds can turn like this, or does it come
:33:04. > :33:08.down to the way they have been handled and treated? 99% of the
:33:09. > :33:13.time, there's not a bad dog, it's a bad owner.
:33:14. > :33:17.So what do you think about the idea that sentences will be increased for
:33:18. > :33:24.owners of dangerous dogs who have trained that dog to be aggressive?
:33:25. > :33:27.If they can prosecute the owner before the dog's attacked somebody,
:33:28. > :33:31.I think it's a good law. But if the dog has already killed somebody or
:33:32. > :33:36.badly maimed them, it's like shutting the door after the horse
:33:37. > :33:41.has bolted, it's too late. I know you have said previously you
:33:42. > :33:47.have likened dog ownership to gun ownership, what do you mean by that?
:33:48. > :33:56.Sorry? You have previously likened dog ownership to gun ownership, what
:33:57. > :33:59.do you mean by that? Yes, yes. Well, they police guns strongly, but when
:34:00. > :34:04.it comes to dogs, police are aware of where the dogs are and who the
:34:05. > :34:08.owners are, but there's nothing being done about it, nothing. Until
:34:09. > :34:13.it's too late and the dogs attack somebody. Malcolm, you are chair of
:34:14. > :34:17.the Magistrates Association, the new guidelines, how will they be
:34:18. > :34:25.applied, what difference will they make? Parliament updated the law in
:34:26. > :34:30.2014 and the new guidelines from the Sentencing Council are coming into
:34:31. > :34:37.effect as of the 1st July but are being published today. They have the
:34:38. > :34:40.effect of giving us guidance as to how we should sentence under the new
:34:41. > :34:46.penalties which are significantly more severe. As you said in the
:34:47. > :34:51.introduction, they extend the law in various areas like private houses
:34:52. > :34:58.and so on. Give us some examples of sentencing then and what difference
:34:59. > :35:02.it could make? Well, the two major areas are firstly the new areas
:35:03. > :35:06.which have been brought into the offences which are where attacks
:35:07. > :35:10.occur on private property, it clarifies the position on that and
:35:11. > :35:15.specifically makes an offence of where an attack takes place on a
:35:16. > :35:17.guide dog which everybody can appreciate has significant
:35:18. > :35:21.consequences, almost unimaginable consequences for the person who is
:35:22. > :35:26.absolutely dependent upon that guide dog. Many of the most severe cases
:35:27. > :35:31.will of course go to the crown court and be dealt with by judge and jury,
:35:32. > :35:36.so magistrates will typically be dealing with the less serious. But
:35:37. > :35:41.quite often more numerous numbers of offences that we see before us.
:35:42. > :35:44.Do these changes that magistrates have wanted to see -- have these
:35:45. > :35:50.changes that magistrates have wanted to see? It's not more members of the
:35:51. > :35:54.judiciary to call for changes in the law, but certainly, I have no
:35:55. > :36:00.evidence to suggest there is any resistance to them and I think some
:36:01. > :36:08.people have felt frustrated probably in the past. But, as your previous
:36:09. > :36:12.person said, of course, we get into the process as members of the
:36:13. > :36:16.judiciary at the point where an attack has occurred and so there is
:36:17. > :36:24.a certain amount of closing the stable door. But we do have to, as a
:36:25. > :36:27.society, recognise that certain actions deserve punishment.
:36:28. > :36:33.How much flexibility has there been in terms of the punishment? Well,
:36:34. > :36:36.there is always a flexibility and the judiciary welcomes that because
:36:37. > :36:41.each individual circumstance is different. That's why they're
:36:42. > :36:45.guidelines and not tram lines as colleagues often say. But they give
:36:46. > :36:51.you a starting point, they give you a way to approach in a structured
:36:52. > :36:58.way making your decision in order that magistrates can inform victims,
:36:59. > :37:02.defendants, society, as a hole, as to whey we think that's the
:37:03. > :37:06.appropriate sentence. Mandy, as you both pointed out, the sentencing
:37:07. > :37:10.guidelines at the point after which a dog has carried out an attack,
:37:11. > :37:15.what do you think would make a difference in trying to prevent
:37:16. > :37:20.attacks? This is what I think we need to do - it's about prevention,
:37:21. > :37:25.it's better than cure. There are people out there that have known
:37:26. > :37:29.aggressive dogs and, in my mind, they should be seized, they should
:37:30. > :37:35.be tested and, if they are as aggressive as we think and know they
:37:36. > :37:40.are, they should be destroyed. But that owner will probably go out and
:37:41. > :37:44.get the same type of dog again. They need to bring something in to
:37:45. > :37:49.prevent this, rather than cure it. Malcolm, how common are cases like
:37:50. > :37:52.this in magistrates courts? Evidence is they are getting more common.
:37:53. > :37:55.Does that mean there are more dangerous dogs or does it mean the
:37:56. > :37:58.prosecuting authorities are being more acidious in bringing such
:37:59. > :38:02.matters to court rather than either not dealing with them at all or
:38:03. > :38:08.dealing with them in an alternative way. Parliament's said that we
:38:09. > :38:11.should be considering these as a society more seriously than we have
:38:12. > :38:15.in the past so the judiciary has a role to play when matters are
:38:16. > :38:19.brought to the court. We will obviously follow and enforce the
:38:20. > :38:22.guidelines that are shortly to be in place which recognise that these
:38:23. > :38:24.matters are more serious than previously society deemed them to
:38:25. > :38:29.be. Thank you both very much, Malcolm
:38:30. > :38:39.and Mandy. Now, Paul Daniels was 77 and had
