Tonight at 8pm it’s Bother’s Bar Poker, do come and join us.
However more important is next Saturday at 8pm. Forget Britain’s Got Talent. Forget Amazing Greys. Forget The Guess List. They’ll all be on catch-up. The question people will be stopping and asking you in the street is “where were you during Schlag den Brig 2?” Because you should be RIGHT HERE or on Youtube watching it go out live.
That’s right, in lieu of a very small response to a contestant call out and because it would mean otherwise we would have to commission a new logo, once again Dan Peake will be taking me on in fifteen mystery mental, physical and skill-based events from the brain and wallet of Only Connect and Crystal Maze alumni David J Bodycombe LIVE. And once again we will be joined by commentator and famed adjudicator Lewis Murphy of Fifty 50 Show.
And this time it’s serious. REALLY serious. There is no way Dan is going to win for a second time.
But not only are the stakes bigger, the games are set to be more fun and exciting and bigger than before as the boundaries of what we can do are pushed TO THE MAX. At least that’s what I’ve heard, neither Dan or myself know what the games are going to be and won’t until we have to play them. All we know is that one has been suggested to be interactive with the viewing audience (so it’ll be better if you watch live!).
Also actually we’ve filmed two of them already.
That’s right, proper PROPER outside broadcast challenges of the sort that wouldn’t feel out of place on You Bet. Neither me or Dan know how many points they’re worth so it’ll be a surprise to us on the night. If the filmed stuff looks good then we have the brilliant Michelle Martin to thank for her video editing work, especially as it was filmed pretty unprofessionally on a single camcorder, if you’re a TV type looking for a video editor, look her up!
If you can’t wait until next week and want to revisit the first one again, you can watch all four hours of it here.
“it was filmed pretty unprofessionally on a single camcorder”
You forgot “by a terrible cameraman” (i.e. me)
That’s a little unfair – you’re not terrible. Your fingers aren’t in shot, for a start!
Although your tripod skills leave a little to be desired… 😉
(He broke mine)
Ehem, … Um,…. Fingers technically in shot in one sequence
There were actually two cameramen. Some of it was filmed by me on a smartphone that was rather tricky to hold in landscape mode so the fingers might be mine.
I’m really looking forward to another close match up against Nick – I’m sure David’s got some great games lined up!
The games we’ve filmed already are great, you’ll want to tune in for those alone! See you guys on Saturday!
I know I say this about a lot of things, but this is Proper Saturday Night Entertainment!
The question is it #TeamDan or #ImBackingBrig ?
#ImBackingBrig
#ImBackingBrig
I’ve not got the hang of this, have I?
#TeamTischdecken
#TeamCaroline to beat Raab…
As requested from the first show, this time round there is a bit more audience participation. You will be able to join in some of the games and influence the result of others.
There is at least one game where the number of followers a player has will be to their advantage (collecting followers will be a planned part of their task for this week), so choose #TeamDan or #ImBackingBrig before the day!
I rather like the way that Brig starts with four times as many followers but all sorts of people use the #TeamDan hashtag for non-#sdb-related purposes already. Looking forward to finding out in just five days’ time how you deal with both of these intriguing confounding factors.
I do rather suspect this has been set up because I said a few times last time “it’s not a popularity contest”. I have no doubt Dan will win because people like Dan because he’s so lovely and I quite enjoy being a little bit of a heel.
I’m hoping at the very least we’ll get a chance to speak directly to the audience before whatever it is we will be doing.
*blushes*
Knowing David – anything could happen during the evening, and the hashtags could be entirely relevant or irrelevant. I look forward to finding out. #TeamDan #TeamDan #TeamDan
