## Resource

‘She hasn’t invited me round yet!” One of the Magic Circle’s most lauded magicians is in the studio this week. James Phelan, magic royalty, is pulling his five unique guests out of the hat for inclusion in his fantasy dinner party. Tim Lihoreau discusses who’s invited, who’s sitting where and the whys and wherefores of the fabulous line-up. Along the way, they talk Uncle Paul Daniels, Auntie Debbie McGee, Amanda Holden…and how to predict the National Lottery numbers!! From the iconic to the unexpected — living or dead, real or fictional, beloved or controversial— who will receive an invite? And will James accept The Gatecrasher, chosen by Tim? You’ll have to listen to find out! Follow on Instagram: @classicfm @timlihoreau @guesswhoscomingtodinner_pod
