Tributes demonstrate that Mr Daniels was a divisive character.
Undoubtedly a pioneer in terms of the art of television magicians, he was known to be difficult to work with.
My abiding memory if PD is the story recounted in the autobiography of The Krankies by Ian Tough.
He recounts how The Krankies stayed in a seaside hotel with all the local summer season performers, including PD. Everyone dreaded PD in the breakfast room because he was always 'full on' - performing and doing tricks, even when it was clear that everyone wanted to wake up and eat their breakfast in peace.
Worse was the inability of anyone to enjoy a hard-boiled egg because PD would, without fail, make it disappear, cackling manically, and oblivious to the annoyance he was causing.
On one occasion, Mr Tough, who lived up to his name it seems, had tolerated all he could of the diminutive egg-snaffler, and laid him out on the breakfast room floor with one punch - to the sustained applause of the assembled company who all averred that they would have to have done the same!
So RIP Mr Daniels, you will be missed by fans and admirers alike.
