Some people have brass necks. One of those is Paul Daniels whose contributions to the cultural life of the UK include the above piece of trash. One wonders if the actors who appeared in his Wizbit show suffered post traumatic stress disorder? Yesterday the self proclaimed sex machine launched a sly attack on Britain Has Talent. The former owner of Mother Shipton's Cave says:
"We've always had talent shows like Opportunity Knocks and New Faces. But I'm not that interested as they are all amateurs. We used to get professionals on the screen doing proper shows. We don't get them much now."
This outburst appears amongst a stomach churning piece where the 72 year old boasts that he has bedded "300 lovers" Daniels claims he was something of a lothario back in the 1960s and was helped by the introduction of the contraceptive pill. He also reveals that he still has conjugal relations with Debbie McGee "We have sexathons" he claims. Not something anyone needs to know.
What he doesn't mention is that his own fame comes from Opportunity Knocks... he came second in 1970.
Daniels is well known for having a massive "pomme frite" on his shoulder about all sorts of things. He is especially bitter about the fact that the BBC dropped his naff entertainment shows, hence his barbed comment about "amateurs" perhaps? In Daniels' mad world we would all be tuning in to watch him and Debbie on a Saturday night. Thank goodness those days have past!
Daniels also has some other rather odd views:
"The hereditary peers, the real Lords, have the genetic knowledge so they know what to pass and what not to let through. I believe the gene carries more than physical characteristics"
He claims to have "a little, but not very much, sympathy for the homeless"
Nice guy.
