Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee interview: 'We don’t mind when people make jokes about us'
On 17 March 2017, Paul Daniels died after a battle with terminal cancer. This interview with Daniels and his wife Debbie McGee was first published in October 2014.
Paul Daniels and the Lovely Debbie McGee are showing me a magic trick involving a pack of playing cards that, entre nous, I think will be a bit boring-snoring. I was hoping for a little legerdemain with the three white rabbits dozing in penthouse cages against the sitting-room wall. Or perhaps spooky hocus-pocus with the medical skeleton, lounging incongruously on one of the sumptuous cream sofas.
But within moments I am laughing with delight at the cleverness and the verve and the showmanship; these guys are good. Better than good. It’s just we’ve forgotten. We’ve forgotten because they’re not cool. They are cheesy and spangly. They are frilly-shirted and bow-tied up with a very different era of cosy Saturday night light entertainment, which began in 1979 and ceased abruptly in 1994 when The Paul Daniels Magic Show was axed by the BBC.
“Years ago, I played a month in Vegas,” says Paul, thoughtfully. “They offered me a 10-year contract. I turned it down. I was asked to sign up for a year on Broadway. I turned that down, too. I’m a family guy, my =read more =http://www.telegraph.co.uk/theatre/actors/paul-daniels-and-debbie-mcgee-interview-we-dont-mind-when-people/

'Spike Milligan
Through a combination of his career-spanning chat show appearances,
interviews and performance archive, 'Spike Milligan: The Interviews'
tells his story in his words.
Spike's multi-faceted career spanned over 50 years. He was the driving force behind the ground breaking radio series 'The Goon Show', went on to make numerous TV series for the BBC, was an accomplished jazz musician, and he was also a prolific writer - publishing work across a wide range of genres.
Never one to shy away from airing his opinions, Spike would poke fun at the most sacred subjects and regularly campaigned to raise awareness for causes he was passionate about.
Respected far beyond the world of comedy, Spike was without doubt one of the greatest - and most eccentric - performers this country has ever seen=.http://gold.uktv.co.uk/shows/interviews/

Alan Rickman was the toughest actor I ever interviewed — and the smartest
Rickman wasn't an easy interview.
Alan Rickman died this week at age 69, and while his role in "Harry Potter" sprang to mind for many, I remembered a different movie.
Alan Rickman died this week at age 69, and while his role in "Harry Potter" sprang to mind for many, I remembered a different movie.
It was 2008's "Bottle Shock," an offbeat little film about the early days of the California wine business.
Rickman played Steven Spurrier, an English wine merchant who staged a now-legendary taste-off between French and California wines — that the Californians won!
I recalled "Bottle Shock" because I interviewed Rickman about it, when I was living in Los Angeles and doing celebrity journalism, writing profiles for the LA Times. I had been a longtime admirer of Rickman thanks to a great movie called "Truly, Madly, Deeply," directed by the late Anthony Minghella before he achieved much larger fame with "The English Patient."
Rickman was remarkable. You generally interview movie actors under two scenarios: at breakfast or lunch, usually at a restaurant of the actor's choosing, sometimes at his or her home; or at media cattle calls in fancy hotels. The "Bottle Shock" interview took place at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills, in a suite of rooms.
You could tell Rickman was holding his nose about the whole thing, remaining almost completely -read more-https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/alan-rickman-toughest-actor-ever-141700321.html
David Bowie Talks About "Searching for God" and "Spirituality" in Unaired 60 Minutes Interview
In another interview with 60 Minutes, Bowie talked about being asked, "Why do you do what you do?" and struggling to come up with an answer. "I really had to think about that," he said. "I guess, I guess, taking away all the theatrics or the costuming and the outer layers of what I do, I'm a writer...I write. I started examining the subject matter that i write about, and it really only boils down to a few songs based around...loneliness, to a certain extent, couple[d] with isolation, some kind of spiritual search, and a looking for a way into communicating with other people."
Bowie touched on spirituality again at a different point in the same interview. "Searching for music is like searching for God," he said. "They're very similar. There's an effort to reclaim the unmentionable, the unsayable, the unseeable, the unspeakable, all those things, comes into being a composer and to writing music and to searching for notes and pieces of musical information that don't exist."
Ultimately, Bowie told 60 Minutes he was grateful he ended up writing andperforming his music.
