When Louis Met Paul and Debbie2001

Louis Theroux:
In your autobiography there is quite a bit about your sexploits.

Paul Daniels:
I had a good time, yeah. It was the time for having a good time, that time?

Louis Theroux:
70s, 80s... What, 70s, was it?

Paul Daniels:
Uh... yeah, it would be, I guess.

Louis Theroux:
And is that true about, about the more than 300 partners?

Paul Daniels:
Uhh... yeah.

Louis Theroux:
Was that, like, groupies who would turn up to your show?

Paul Daniels:
Sometimes. Yeah, sometimes. It was just... there was a lot of sex around because the girls had discovered the pill and started to do everything the lads had been doing for years. I was my own, and travelling, and so it, uh... it was just the scene. And then suddenly along came herpes and AIDS and all that.

Louis Theroux:
And Debbie.

Paul Daniels:
Oh, yeah. And Debbie.

Louis Theroux:
Could you remember all the names? Or was it like, you know, the one in the back of the Cortina?

Paul Daniels:
A Cortina! [laughs out loud] Oh dear, yeah, I did have a Cortina at one time, yeah.
