But I quite like Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee. They don't take themselves too seriously and despite the age gap/bad press they've received in the past, they seem genuinely happy together.
and 10 seconds was tongue in cheek, didnt expect to be spot on when I didnt see interview, but I just meant people are hardly going to be grumpy in a short television interview
I must admit I am one of a legion of people who have taken the mickey out of Paul and debbie for years. I will always remember Caroline Aherne (was it as Mrs Merton) asking "Debbie - what exactly was it that first attracted you to millionnaire Paul Daniels..."
However, I think they have proved all the cynics wrong, including me, and have stayed the course and do genuinely come across as a happy loving couple. Good on them.
Mrs Merton was brilliant that night, Salla. She later told Paul that her husband had a magic trick. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and they came out smelling of cheese. Gross, but funny!
I don't think he has ever been funny.
But - resilient, and at the end of the day he does seem able to take a joke at his expense - even taking the mickey out of himself - so I supose he's got to be given some credit for that at least?
