Cliff Michelmore also dies today, aged 96, thats a bit more like it (age wise).

He was the Science Correspondence and UK TV Presenter during the Apollo Moon Landings, remember them. First time I was allowed to stay up all night and watch TV when I was a Kid.  :y was still made to go to School next day though.  :(  ;D

I have to say that I was not a big fan of Paul Daniels. I found him irritating.

However, Cliff Michelmore was a talented individual who enjoyed a  varied and interesting career.

I can agree with you on that, but only on tv. I met him personally and found him a very nice chap indeed.
