A Christmas Special featuring an array of special guests, including magician René Lavand, and a man who Paul introduces as the finest puppeteer in the world: Philippe Genty.
John Gaughan returns to the series with another restored doll: John Nevil Maskelyne's 19th century card-playing creation, "Psycho". Included among the other guests is Jamey Turner and his glass music.
Special guest Johnny Morris joins Paul in a trick to make a live elephant disappear. Among the other guests is daredevil juggler Frank Olivier, whose juggling equipment includes blindfolds, pickaxes, unicycles and flaming torches.
Paul tries something a little different for a magical guest on this edition - rather than a current act, he presents the audience with archive footage of Cardini. In the studio is flyback expert Randy Brown.
An edition with many guests, the centrepiece of which is an 11-minute set by old school ventriloquist Albert Saveen. Among Albert's many characters is a noisy dog and young puppet with a broken heart.
Guests include the advanced shadow puppetry of Prasanna Rao, while Paul gets to pay homage to one of the greatest magicians, Harry Jansen - more popularly known as Dante.
Paul attempts to recreate the famous telepathic feats of the Piddingtons by getting Magnus Magnusson and Lord Soper to pick a book and word at random from the reading room of the British Library and correctly guess the word they choose.
Juggling act Airjazz make their third appearance on the show within three years. As they're now so familiar with the programme, Paul decides to get to know them a little better by involving them in one of his rope tricks.
A second Halloween Special, airing after 10pm due to the darker nature of events. With guests including Eugene Burger and Robert Powell, Paul finds himself being burnt alive in what is definitely not a family version of the show.
