Next weeks episode is a story about a magician if you want to tune in.

Will be interesting to see the angle and also who plays the magician. Hopefully they won't ruin whatever tricks are performed.

Two of the actors from Gavin & Stacey (don't ask me who, I've never seen the programme) are starting their own sketch show soon. Two of their chacters are dysfunctional magicians or something like that. Oh whoopeee....

Also, one of the characters in Skins is a magician. Very skillfully done; they don't make a big deal out of it (it's one of his many traits), it's not cheesy, and they don't ruin tricks (the actor is actually not that bad at magic, although he's said in an interview that he has no interest in it)

How can you claim to have no interest in magic when you've put the time and effort in to reach a half decent standard?

Doesn't make sense in my book

My thoughts entirely. But at least he put effort into it

The kid was taught to perform magic to a decent standard by Nigel Mead

And the tricks are also very intermitten. Tops 30 seconds in an episode if even that.
