  7. A brief history of Paul Danielspublished at 09:09 Greenwich Mean Time 17 March 2016

    Known for a string of catchphrases, including the line: "You'll like this... not a lot, but you'll like it", Paul Daniels made his TV debut on Opportunity Knocks in 1970.

    He went on to become one of the biggest stars on British TV, fronting the BBC's Paul Daniels Magic Show, which ran for 15 years.

    Married to his on-stage assistant Debbie McGee, he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in February this year.

    He returned from hospital to his Berkshire home in March, with his son Martin Daniels saying at the time: "He has said before, 'When it's your time it's your time' and that's how he is trying to face up to things."

    Read Paul Daniels' obituary.
