His catchphrase was Paul Daniels?

Not a lot of people know that.

Probably sums him up for me, I didn't find him that funny, but I also didn't want to put my foot through the TV when he was on.

Like Miranda Hart or Victoria Corran Mitchell then?

I wouldn't put Jimmy Cricket and Victoria in the same category. 😉

No, but in terms of not being funny, they possibly are.

Except Victoria is not trying to be a comedian

I've seen her on TV plenty of times but can't recall a single word she's said. 😂

Have you seen her on Only Connect, she's trying far too hard to be funny... Unless I have totally mis - understood what she's doing?
