Paul Daniels in
Thursday's Paul Daniels in a Black Hole. Once again Paul and Debbie
provide just as much entertainment 'off stage' as 'on' this time in a
one-off documentary. Paul Daniels as The Amazing Eldani took up the
challenge to 'make it' in just 30 days, in the USA. The "Daniels drive"
was evident throughout as he launched himself full-throttle into every
situation, got some good press, gave some radio interviews, appeared on
local television, found some venues, performed some successful shows, and
had lots of fun, and all as the unknown Eldani.
