0:00:01 > 0:00:03Nothing like that's ever happened before.
0:00:03 > 0:00:05Wow, yeah, it's blew me away a little.
0:00:05 > 0:00:06Oh, my...!
0:00:08 > 0:00:09He's amazing.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Hello!
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- Hello, there, how are you? - CHEERING
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Welcome! Good evening!
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Thank you SO much for coming.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46This evening is all about control.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47ALL: Woo!
0:00:47 > 0:00:50For that reason, I have invited a room full of people
0:00:50 > 0:00:53who spend their entire day controlling people -
0:00:53 > 0:00:55no, not politicians or prison wardens,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58we've got teachers in the house! Let's hear it for teachers!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I'm really excited to have you all here, but before we continue,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07let's have a look on what's coming up on the show -
0:01:07 > 0:01:09we will be working with the incredible Chelsee Healey!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Oh, my...! Oh, my God, no!
0:01:12 > 0:01:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:16 > 0:01:19And we'll be playing a really interesting game
0:01:19 > 0:01:20of David Meade feng shui.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23I can't believe it. Serious.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Before any of that, there's a bit of housekeeping I need to let you know about.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36On this screen, throughout the night, you will see a red dot.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Any time that red dot does appear
0:01:38 > 0:01:39it is essential that you pay attention to it.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41You must not take your eyes off it
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and if anything else appears on the screen,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46you must also not look at what appears on the screen.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49You must only look at the red dot for me. Only look at the red dot.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Now, before we continue, I think it's only fair,
0:01:52 > 0:01:53in the spirit of teaching,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56that I play a little game of compliance and control
0:01:56 > 0:01:58that I used to play with my own students.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Everyone at home, you can play this at home as well.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02All you need do is follow my instructions.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Now, everyone in the room do exactly as I say.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Now, shake out your hands for me, shake out your hands.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Turn your hands so your thumbs are pointing downwards for me.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Do this at home as well, please.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Then I want you to take your right hand
0:02:14 > 0:02:16and place it on top of your left for me, right on top of your left,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19and then I want you to interlock your fingers for me.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Interlock your fingers so that they are tied together,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24thereby binding them tightly together.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Now, the final rule is that you must keep your arms absolutely straight.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32So, do keep them perfectly straight, out from the front of your body -
0:02:32 > 0:02:34like a shelf.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36If you don't keep them straight, please bear in mind that
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- I can make you wet the bed, that's one of my things. - LAUGHTER
0:02:39 > 0:02:41So, in the spirit of compliance,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43all I want you to do is follow my instructions.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48I want you to turn your hands so your thumbs are pointing upwards.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50MURMURING AND LAUGHTER
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Keep trying, keep trying!
0:02:57 > 0:03:00And you can give yourself a round of applause. Good job.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01APPLAUSE
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Before we continue I think it's only fair that I should share with you
0:03:07 > 0:03:10a few little snaps from my burgeoning modelling portfolio.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Take a look at these.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Oh, yes! Don't make fun of my face, please! - LAUGHTER
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I will be selling a calendar after the show as well,
0:03:17 > 0:03:18in case anyone's interested.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Only look for the dots, only look for the dots.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Don't look around the dots, search for the dots.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Your eyes will naturally gravitate towards the dots.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Now, I think it's time for a simple guessing game.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31All I'm going to ask everyone in the room to do
0:03:31 > 0:03:32is think of a three-digit number.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34For those of you at home, as well,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I want you to think of a three-digit number.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I think...
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I think I will go with...
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Now, can you just pick up that number, there?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Excellent. All right, so, time to make your guesses
0:03:51 > 0:03:54and we will start with this lady, here.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- What is your name?- Samantha.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Samantha. Samantha, you're very welcome.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Samantha, what is your three-digit number?- 529.- 529, OK.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- If I can ask this lady, here. What's your name?- Gemma.
0:04:04 > 0:04:10- Hello, Gemma, a three-digit number, Gemma, any one you like.- 369.- 369.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12This lady here with, is that a bow in your hair, madam?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Yeah.- What's your name?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Megan.- Megan. OK, a three-digit number, Megan.- 235.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19235. This lady here. madam, what's your name?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Jo.- Hello, Jo, you're very welcome.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Jo, three-digit number.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- 675.- 675. OK. We've had quite a good spread, there.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Disappointingly, we didn't get anyone who got it absolutely spot-on
0:04:29 > 0:04:34so let's see just who got closest. My number was 366.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- So, who got closest to 366?- Yeah! - Were you closest?- 369.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- What was your name? - Gemma.- Your name was Gemma.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Gemma, have we ever met before?- No. - Gemma, have we set anything up?- No.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Gemma, have I paid you just to agree with me?- No.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- I've got the wrong Gemma. Is there another Gemma...? - LAUGHTER
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- Give Gemma a round of applause as she makes her way to the stage. - APPLAUSE
0:04:56 > 0:04:58So, Gemma, now, you were quite close, there.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- You were off by how many?- By three.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03OK, so, go ahead and open that up for me, will you, please?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Just to see... Cos I had a sense of the type of people
0:05:05 > 0:05:07that would come to this evening's show
0:05:07 > 0:05:09and the type of way they might behave.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12And read, in a nice clear voice, from the very top.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18"I have a feeling that the most compliant person will be a female."
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Close enough, I would say.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- "At first glance, at least!" - Yeah, you see what I mean! - LAUGHTER
0:05:25 > 0:05:30- "She should be aged between 20 and 70."- Well, we're... - LAUGHTER
0:05:30 > 0:05:34..probably at the very top end of that one, Gemma.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- "With dark, shoulder-length hair." - I'd say that's gone quite well.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43- A white, short-sleeved top. - I think that probably covers that.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47"A necklace with a star-shaped pendant."
0:05:47 > 0:05:48- ALL:- Ooh!
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Ah, bless, Elizabeth Duke, lovely(!) - LAUGHTER
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- "Skinny, dark jeans." - I think so, yeah.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Oh, maybe they are jeggings, are they?- Er...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59You are fierce, Gemma!
0:05:59 > 0:06:00LAUGHTER
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- "Chunky, colourful bracelet." - Oh, look at that, yeah, excellent.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- "And shoes with white bows." - Shoes with white bows!
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- "I also think that her guess will be off by three."- Off by three, Gemma?
0:06:13 > 0:06:18366-369? Gemma, did you feel controlled?
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Yes. Oh, no!
0:06:19 > 0:06:20LAUGHTER
0:06:20 > 0:06:22APPLAUSE
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Oh! Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for Gemma.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Give Gemma a round of applause. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:06:32 > 0:06:38Now, Gemma, you shouldn't feel bad that that worked SO well with you.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It's because you're, in the business, what we call "easy".
0:06:41 > 0:06:42LAUGHTER
0:06:42 > 0:06:45But the fact is, every single time we leave the house
0:06:45 > 0:06:48people are trying to persuade us, they're trying to control us
0:06:48 > 0:06:49to do what they want us to do.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Even logos are designed to make an emotion
0:06:51 > 0:06:53and make you feel a certain way when you see things.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57My logo, for instance, is designed to make Gemma feel sick.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Shops, in particular, are always trying to persuade you.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03The stores are laid out to make you spend the most money possible.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It was an incredible realisation
0:07:05 > 0:07:08when I, kind of, picked that up and I thought to myself,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11"Well, what if I was to take over a restaurant or a cafe,
0:07:11 > 0:07:16"and if I was able to control every single piece of the stimuli in that place."
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Would I be able to control someone? Meet Sharon.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Morning Sharon, you're very welcome. I really appreciate you taking part.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30'As always, my ideal participant is someone with an open mind
0:07:30 > 0:07:34'and Sharon here has a mind that's open to anything.'
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I do believe in angels.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Whenever you see a white feather where you wouldn't expect to see a white feather,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42definitely, I think there's a guardian angel with me.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I'm playing with more than angelic inspiration, though.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Unknown to Sharon, I have arranged this room
0:07:49 > 0:07:52so she will sit precisely where I want her to.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Take a look, which chair are you being drawn towards?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58I'm going to ask you to pick any chair you like.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Now, what's important is that you know
0:08:00 > 0:08:02that your choice of chair is totally random.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Have a wander and choose the chair you like.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06And if you think that I've made you pick a chair
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- or influenced you to pick a chair then just change your mind.- OK.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- I'm going to get you a drink. Tea or coffee?- Tea, please.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- How do you like it? - White with one sugar.- OK.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Go ahead, choose a chair. Any one that you like.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25'I'm being careful not to pressurise Sharon
0:08:25 > 0:08:30'so she feels like she is making a totally free choice.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33'Mind you, I may have to force her to drink this tea!'
0:08:38 > 0:08:40The pot...
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I'll be Mum.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Now, there we go.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- So, it did you feel like you've been controlled here today?- No.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Not at all?- Not at all. - Random choices?- Yeah.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- We haven't set anything up?- No.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56What's unusual is that
0:08:56 > 0:09:00you could have sat on any one of nearly 100 chairs in this room
0:09:00 > 0:09:02but you didn't, you sat on this chair.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I need to show you why that's important
0:09:04 > 0:09:08because you could have sat here, but you didn't.
0:09:08 > 0:09:14And you could have sat here... but you didn't.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19In fact, you could have sat...here.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24Here, here, here...but you didn't.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27You could have sat here...
0:09:27 > 0:09:30here, here... But you didn't, Sharon,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- you didn't sit on any of those chairs. Free choice, Sharon?- Yeah.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- How many times did you change your mind?- Four times.- All right.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39So, you didn't sit there, you didn't sit there,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- you didn't sit there, Sharon. Could have gone anywhere?- Yeah.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45You didn't sit here, not even there. We have nearly, what?
0:09:45 > 0:09:51- About 100 Xs in the room? But, Sharon, you sat there.- Yeah.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Would you like to...take a little look for me?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Green tick. Of all the places that you could have sat
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- and that was a random choice? - Brilliant.- Genuinely.- Yes.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08What are the chances, do you think, of that working?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- As much as winning the lottery? - Well, maybe!
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Well, we should probably do a ticket!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15But maybe it was possible, after you sat down,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17that I distracted you somehow and maybe changed the little arrow
0:10:17 > 0:10:20because, after all, it is only stuck on with blue tack.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Maybe I stuck that on somehow, when you were looking out of the window,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26when I was taking my tea but I didn't want you to think that
0:10:26 > 0:10:31that was the case so, to make sure it wasn't the case, I did this.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Sharon, a floor plan of the entire room.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Didn't sit there, didn't sit there, didn't sit there, didn't sit there -
0:10:37 > 0:10:39the only one with a tick on it, right beside the window,
0:10:39 > 0:10:41right beside the lamp and right beside this stage
0:10:41 > 0:10:44was the one chair that you sat on.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- On all of the chairs that you could have sat on!- My God!
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Sharon, from the minute that you came into this room
0:10:50 > 0:10:54every single thing has been designed to make you sit
0:10:54 > 0:10:57where I needed you to sit.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59You could have sat anywhere, it felt like a free choice
0:10:59 > 0:11:03but my job is to control the way that you make decisions.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08You could have sat anywhere...
0:11:08 > 0:11:11and, of all the places that you could have sat,
0:11:11 > 0:11:15you were drawn to one chair more than any other
0:11:15 > 0:11:17and, Sharon, that chair...
0:11:17 > 0:11:21was the one and only chair that I wanted you to sit on
0:11:21 > 0:11:24in the entire room.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29Every single thing in this room has been designed to make you sit there.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31How did you do it?
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- Does it feel strange?- Brilliant. - You did an amazing job.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Thank you so much, you were brilliant. Thank you so much.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39I really, really appreciate it.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47Whenever I come in, there was a few times I was going to pick a hard chair or soft chair,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50but I was drawn to that particular chair.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Serious.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Absolutely fantastic.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Let's hear it for Sharon. Sharon's here with us this evening! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Truthfully, that would've worked with absolutely anyone.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Even you, folks.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14In fact, let's try it, actually.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I'm going to work with every single one of you in the room, now,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19but, also, those of you at home. You can take part in this.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21So, series of questions, folks.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I'm going to ask you to think of a number in a moment.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Now, this number must be from one to 50.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26A two-digit number
0:12:26 > 0:12:29and I want you to make sure that both digits are different,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31and that both of the digits are odd as well.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Think of a number now. Has everyone got one, yes?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Everyone got one? How many of you went for 37?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It won't work with everyone. How many of you? Up you go!
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Oh, right, OK. So, like, 60, 70% of people in the room?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I want you to think of another two-digit number.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48This time from 50 to 100 and make both of the digits different,
0:12:48 > 0:12:50but make both the digits even this time, all right?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Think of that right now. Has everyone got one?- ALL: Yes.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Now, how many of you went for 68? Raise your hands. Raise your hands.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Oh, much more. 75-ish%? How many went for 86, though?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02How many went for 68 or 86? Raise your hands, raise your hands.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Oh, an awful lot of sweaty armpits, how excruciating!
0:13:05 > 0:13:07All right, let's keep going. Think of a playing card.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Any playing card in the deck. Has everyone got one?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- ALL: Yes. - Queen of hearts, ace of spades?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Raise your hands, raise your hands! Oh, almost everyone!
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- You really are all simple! - LAUGHTER
0:13:17 > 0:13:18OK.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23- Repeat after me, "For one to end." - ALL: "For one to end."
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- "One must first begin." - ALL: "One must first begin."
0:13:26 > 0:13:28And I want you to repeat this at home as well.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- "For one to end." - ALL: "For one to end."
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- "One must first begin." - ALL: "One must first begin."
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Now, louder! "For one to end." - ALL: "For one to end."
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- "One must first begin." - ALL: "One must first begin."
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Now, the whole thing! "For one to..." go!
0:13:39 > 0:13:42ALL: "For one to end, one must first begin."
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Now, quickly, choose a number.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Has everyone got one, yes? Was it three?
0:13:46 > 0:13:47- ALL: Yes!- Hurray!
0:13:47 > 0:13:50APPLAUSE
0:13:50 > 0:13:53But why does that work? Well, I'll tell you why that works.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56If we go all the way back, look at what I said.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58"For one to end," think about that.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Four, one, two -
0:14:00 > 0:14:03the only number that you didn't hear was the number three.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05So, that one seems super sexy, number three.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07It seems really attractive.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10"Totally, that's a totally free choice that I'm going to number three."
0:14:10 > 0:14:12The fact is that anyone can do this.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14We're all being controlled every moment of every day
0:14:14 > 0:14:18and my job is a little bit like a writer writing a script for all of you,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21but you don't know that you're already playing a part in it.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23So I thought, "Wouldn't it be interesting
0:14:23 > 0:14:25"if I could work with an individual
0:14:25 > 0:14:28"who has their mind controlled by scripts all the time."
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Check this out.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38The person I've chosen is actress Chelsee Healey.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Chelsee has appeared in Waterloo Road and Hollyoaks,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44but today she's not playing a part - she's being herself.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47If someone got one over on me I would be kind of fuming
0:14:47 > 0:14:50and I wouldn't be able to control my actions!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52SHE GIGGLES
0:14:52 > 0:14:54I've already written the script
0:14:54 > 0:14:56for what I think is going to happen today,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58my job will be to control their thoughts
0:14:58 > 0:15:01to the point that they do everything that's in that script -
0:15:01 > 0:15:03even though they've never seen it before.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Chelsee perfected her Paso Doble on Strictly Come Dancing,
0:15:06 > 0:15:11but fancy footwork won't cut it here. This is all about mental agility.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14To be honest, I doubt that he's going to get one over on me
0:15:14 > 0:15:19and I'm a very clever and smart girl, so I'll spot it a mile off.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23'The real Chelsee is tougher than any character she's played on TV.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25'This could be tricky.'
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Chelsee, thank you so much for coming.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31I can't thank you enough and I know you're a bit tired.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- You're just off a flight. Where have you been?- I've been to Ibiza.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36You lucky duck!
0:15:36 > 0:15:40You're the type of actress that really takes on a role
0:15:40 > 0:15:42and gets inside, to the point where you feel like you
0:15:42 > 0:15:46are the character, as opposed to just playing the character.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51I wanted to try something along that control theme. All we're going to do is play a guessing game.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55It's important we double check you have no idea what's about to happen.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- I haven't a clue.- OK, good.
0:15:57 > 0:16:04I'm going to take my watch and I'm going to set it to a time,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07a time that isn't the time right now.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- What time do you have there?- Um...
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- I'm not sure whether this is still Ibiza time.- That's all right.- 3:40.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Let me see your watch. It just says "party".
0:16:17 > 0:16:20All right, so I want you to imagine for a moment that you can see
0:16:20 > 0:16:23an hour hand spinning around on a clock.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26What hour does that hour hand stop on?
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- Three.- Now I want you to imagine the minute hand is spinning around,
0:16:31 > 0:16:36so this is how many minutes past three we're thinking about.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- So what is the time you're thinking of?- 3:30.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- That was a random choice.- Yeah. - Did you feel controlled?- No.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46You want to take a look at the time?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Oh, my...
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- 3:30.- Oh, my gosh!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- I'm going to try one more thing with you.- Yeah.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00I want to say right now from the very start that I've got something
0:17:00 > 0:17:03for you here, so your job is to make sure that I don't take that off you.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06In fact, you can put your hand on it.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09So I want you to imagine now that maybe I've written a script for you.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13And in that script, you're going somewhere in the world.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16To a country, a country that I couldn't possibly know.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- A secret country. That just feels right, right now.- OK.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26- So, where was it you wanted to travel to?- Marbella.- Marbella? OK.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- Marbella. Have you ever been to Marbella before?- Yes.- All right.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- Did you like it?- I loved it.- OK. So let's try something else.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39This time, I want you, in your head, to think of a date. A date that...
0:17:39 > 0:17:42It can either be a random date, any point in the future,
0:17:42 > 0:17:47or in the past, and whenever you're ready, what's your date?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52The sixth of the eighth, 1988.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Is that a random...really random one, or does it mean something to you?
0:17:56 > 0:18:01- It means something.- These are popping into your head?- Yes.- OK.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04This time, think of a celebrity. Any celebrity in the world.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07It can be someone that you know, someone you don't know,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10a stranger, someone that's a great friend.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15Whenever you're ready, go ahead and name the person that you're thinking of.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Dappy.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- Dappy from...?- N-Dubz.- N-Dubz.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25Do you know, it hasn't quite... Look, thank you so much.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- You've been brilliant.- OK.- It's my fault, not yours.- Are you sure?
0:18:28 > 0:18:32I really appreciate it. But you should probably open that up there.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37I don't want you breaking your nails. We're not insured. They cost the price of my house!
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Thank you for this.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41You're OK, not at all.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45I should probably be a bit more honest with you now, this isn't
0:18:45 > 0:18:49a voucher, this is a script I've written six weeks ago for today.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- Oh.- Could you go ahead and read it out loud for me?
0:18:54 > 0:18:59"David and Chelsee are sitting at a table beside some clocks.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04"Chelsee's like, totally amazed and really blown away by how awesome David is."
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- That's kind of awkward, but never mind.- No, it's true.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09"She continues reading from the script,
0:19:09 > 0:19:14"which has been in an envelope, which she has had the whole time.
0:19:14 > 0:19:20"David is going to control my thoughts and make me think of Marbella..."
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Oh, my God!
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- Oh, God! It's on this piece of paper! - It's all right.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33"The sixth of August 1988 and Const..."
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- I can't pronounce his name. - That's OK.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39"..Also known as Dappy."
0:19:39 > 0:19:44I'm going to think of 3:30. Oh, my...
0:19:44 > 0:19:51"Chelsee is even more amazed and before she claps and cheers loudly, Chelsee kisses David."
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Oh, well! Awkward! Chelsee... Oh, well. If you want to.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Mwah! Wow!
0:19:56 > 0:20:01- You're bloody good! I'm speechless, like.- You need a rest now.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- For goodness' sake.- I do.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13I said Marbella because it's one of my favourite holiday destinations.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17I said the sixth of August because that's my birthday.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19And Dappy because I love his music.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Oh, my gosh!
0:20:25 > 0:20:28That's freaked me out a lot. He's amazing.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Gosh!
0:20:30 > 0:20:34APPLAUSE
0:20:34 > 0:20:39All right, all right. There's no need to patronise me.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Folks, you've seen me working with individuals all night.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47The fact is, and I'll be honest with you, it's an awful lot easier for me to work one-to-one.
0:20:47 > 0:20:53It's much more difficult to do it with an entire room. So that's what I'm going to do now. OK?
0:20:53 > 0:20:57The main part are these. Anyone know what these are? Teachers?
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- Acetates.- Acetates. - No, these are your union rights.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06- LAUGHTER - So I'm going to pass a few of them out.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Actually, could you pass some of these out for me as well?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13My friend, Ellen, here is also passing out some markers.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17So if you have a blank page and a pen, please wave them
0:21:17 > 0:21:19in the air for me. Wave them in the air.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23All right, excellent. Sounds like it's raining!
0:21:23 > 0:21:26So in a moment, I'm going to ask you to make a drawing on that.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29But I don't want it to be a detailed drawing.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34I want it to be something simple. And it shouldn't be obvious when I'm looking at it exactly what it is.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39Get drawing. Now, there will be a little piece of audio here for you to listen to.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- RECORDING PLAYS BACKWARDS - This is just to open up your subconscious
0:21:43 > 0:21:46and to help distract you from the obvious things
0:21:46 > 0:21:49that are around you that you may wish to draw.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Allow the sound to get into your head, it should get into your head.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58OK, and I think we will stop there, folks. Stop there.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Now, if you could form a nice orderly line, please.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06And place them on this table. One at a time, form a nice orderly line. On you go.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10OK, we're getting quite a collection.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17We've got some really interesting examples, I have to say.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21I'm going to take a look at all of these and see what it tells me about each of you.
0:22:21 > 0:22:28In the interest of fairness, I think we should probably have Gemma up again. Where's Gemma?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- Ladies and gentlemen, let's get Gemma up to give us a hand. - APPLAUSE
0:22:34 > 0:22:38OK, Gemma. Now I need to ask you seriously, do you feel controlled?
0:22:38 > 0:22:43- No.- Not at all. So all free choice. - Yes.- Excellent. Let's see what these free choices say about us.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Your job is to make sure nothing gets switched,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48that I don't add anything here and also that I don't add any
0:22:48 > 0:22:51little marks with any hidden markers or anything like that.
0:22:51 > 0:22:58I'm just going to take, Gemma, a quick look at some of these.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03So some of these are a lot smaller than others. And some, erm...
0:23:03 > 0:23:07I predict, I could be wrong... I feel a man drew this.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10LAUGHTER
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Own up. Who drew this? Hands up.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19LAUGHTER
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- Ah, of course it was. And what's your name?- Eoin.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Why are you so angry about that, Eoin?
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Bearing in mind I'm a mind-reader, and you can try and lie if you like, what is this?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34It's a bairn, the top of a bairn.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36AUDIENCE: Aah!
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Did you hear that, Eoin? That was a unison of "Oh, aye!"
0:23:40 > 0:23:41LAUGHTER
0:23:41 > 0:23:45OK, this is interesting. I mentioned a leaf and someone has drawn a leaf.
0:23:45 > 0:23:51- Who is this? Oh, it's you. And what is this?- It's an ear.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- A rabbit's ear.- Right! OK!
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Now, bearing in mind,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02almost all these things that I do,
0:24:02 > 0:24:06there's a good chance that a great deal of it can, at times, go wrong.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09And I want you to know, given that this is a live studio audience,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12and for the people at home it may seem like some of this is set up.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14If it was set up, it would be working right now.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15LAUGHTER
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Who's drawn this one? Hands up who's drawn this one. Hello.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- What's your name?- Julie.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- Julie, what is this? - It's the head of a rake.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Oh, Julie...
0:24:27 > 0:24:31You are a rock'n'roll kinda girl! LAUGHTER
0:24:31 > 0:24:33This person has clearly drawn a leaf,
0:24:33 > 0:24:37because I mentioned a leaf, and there are a few leaf-type...
0:24:37 > 0:24:39type shapes...
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Well, now...
0:24:45 > 0:24:48I know somebody who you should get together with.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50LAUGHTER
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Look, the rabbit's having a carrot!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55HE "MUNCHES"
0:24:55 > 0:24:58OK, we're going to have to rattle through some of these.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00No, it's not quite...
0:25:00 > 0:25:03There's a big balloon.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Um...
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Oh, my gosh.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Who... Who did "Bum"?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13LAUGHTER
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Who did "bum"?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Oh, well done.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Yes, you should look so proud of yourself!
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I'll put that in the middle,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30so it doesn't... It still looks like an arse, OK.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31It still looks like an arse.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Now, if maybe...
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Look at some of these...
0:25:37 > 0:25:39See if I can get these closer.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Slightly closer together?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45AUDIENCE: Ohhhh!
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Now...
0:25:46 > 0:25:48See again, your job is to make sure
0:25:48 > 0:25:53I don't switch or add or take away anything.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Are we, um...
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Are we seeing anything?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59AUDIENCE: Yes!
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Are we seeing anything?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03APPLAUSE
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Are we seeing anything?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for Gemma!
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Thank you so much. Thank you.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Now...
0:26:12 > 0:26:14I know what you're all thinking.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17That seems impossible, but it isn't impossible if you think about it.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19I'm the writer here. I've controlled everything.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Every single moment that you've taken part in in this room,
0:26:22 > 0:26:23everything has been designed
0:26:23 > 0:26:25to make you do exactly as I wanted you to do.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Let me tell you how,
0:26:27 > 0:26:29or at least how it might have been done.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33The first thing, this logo has been on this screen the entire time you've been here.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37This logo, I even pointed it out deliberately at the top of the show.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41I said my logo was to make Gemma sick and it worked - she's rotten!
0:26:41 > 0:26:44But the interesting thing is that you could not ignore that logo.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46It was in your face the entire time.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49But apart from that, remember when you were doing your drawings?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I played a piece of audio?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53It sounded weird and garbled. Listen to it again.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56AUDIO PLAYED BACKWARDS
0:26:56 > 0:26:59That's it backwards. Can we listen to it forwards?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02'Draw my logo. Draw my logo.'
0:27:02 > 0:27:03'Draw my logo.'
0:27:03 > 0:27:07You had to draw the logo!
0:27:07 > 0:27:12There was no other option for everyone in this room but to draw the logo.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14But I didn't want to leave it at that.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17I didn't want to leave it to chance.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Every one of you when you entered this room got a stamp.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21So that has been on your hand.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23You've been looking at it all evening!
0:27:23 > 0:27:25But more importantly,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27stick out your hands for me.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29That is not the only part of this stamp. Look what it says.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32"DRAW THIS"
0:27:32 > 0:27:34"DRAW THIS" Lots of hands.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Look, "DRAW THIS".
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Every single one of you.
