A competition is currently being run on Mr. B's blog to win 2 tickets to one of his four live 1 hour shows that will be broadcast this year. All details can be found by following the link at the bottom of this post. It's open to UK and Ireland Residents only and involves some code work!

Nice, thanks for pointing that out, taking a look now.

No problem! I looked over it for half an hour and couldn't find anything. I wouldn't be able to go as I'm busy that day anyway. I just want to know the solution!

I have an idea.

Thanks for the post!

I have an idea, but seems a bit too obvious. I cant make the date or location anyhow

What is the date and location of the filming?

The details so far are Thursday February 12th at a London location. Times still to be confirmed.

Anyone know any more about this show? Im going but I know very little about it other than that its DB.

And im not particularly trusting of his events...

I was due to attend the filming on Thursday... we have some info on iTricks.com

http://itricks.com/news/?p=6690

the show is called 'how to control the nation'

and if you check later on tonight there will be some more info on the site about what we've found out...

sounds like it's going to be a great one. climaxing in a live stunt in september when the show goes out...
once of the four hour segments filmed today, one thursday next week (12th) and two more...

Was turned away at the door.


Apparently they overbook and you have to get there early. I thought a ticket was a ticket and that reserved you your place. The bookings people never said anything about any first come first serve business.

Oh well, luckily i didn't have to travel too far so...
And the show will be aired in September in it's entirety.

I'd heard that DB was taking part in some huge jewel heist or something? Anyone know anything about this? I'd hoped you lot might be able to shed some light.......


Also, my cousin who lives in Manchester claims her friend spotted him there..................curiouser and curiouser!!!! Not sure if the two are related. Manchester and the jewel heist that is

Can't wait.

I'm intreagued by all the hidden messages on his blog.
Is it just misdirection - or actual hints? Like a puzzle or something?

Any thoughts?

It would be remarkable if that was the case, considering the level of news coverage it's received. Not sure how complicit the BBC would be in slightly unethical promotion of a Channel 4 programme.

That's called marketing. It is a clever trick. One to keep you visiting the website and to build hype through getting people to talk about it.

Another website that did this VERY effectively was the Blair Witch project website. It was probably the worst film I have ever seen but it made it to cinemas because it's excellently presented cryptic marketing. I had mates spending ages on their website trying to figure it out. It spread virally as people we compelled to discuss it.

It also helps make him seem more mysterious and helps sell his image. Obviously, it is working.
