Looking at www.magicweek.co.uk I see that UK Documentary channel is running the Magic series from Monday 26/2/2007 at 9:00AM.
These were shown a couple of weeks ago at 1:00AM in the morning (why tucked away when most people are asleep or at work) and I managed to record most of them.
If you haven't seen these I was very impressed. The first one covers Mind magic with Marc Paul and the others cover topics such as Close Up, Disappearances, Dangerous Magic.
Contributers include Paul Daniels and Paul Zenon with some old clips of Mark Wilson and David Nixon.
You also see some great effects, my favourite being the vanishing of Tower Bridge.
If you haven't seen these well worth recording on whatever people record these days (Video for me still).

Thanks for the reminder, these programmes were originally shown on BBC2 a while back and were well received - partly because they were excellent programmes and partly the Beeb don't do magic these days unless there's an 'angle' or some other twist to make the topic attractive so they were a most welcome change from that policy.
