Take That! Wonder if they know anything about it?

I reckon The Stig knows. He'd tell us if he could talk.

[Jono]

One questions the authenticity of it all now it's made Ariel.

Take That! Wonder if they know anything about it?

No they don't, Mark would have told me :heh:

[Kelly]

Ariel? Am I being thick again?

[Jamie]

Now its 'made' arial you mean Jono, whats to say its real?

[goldengirl]

Ariel? Am I being thick again?

I am so glad you said that! I was just about to post the very same thing??

Jono, what?????

[FoxDaniels]

The BBC wouldn't publish this in their in-house magazine passing the buck between each other. They know what's going on. One member of Radio 1 already said something was happening today. It's no conspiracy.

[sebdevlin]

Me thinks your reading to much into it this is turning into one of those crackpot conspiracy threads on the interweb we'll be claiming this paul bloke is covering aliens up next. Its all getting a bit tiresome for me and I couldn't care less about it any thats my twopennys worth.

[FoxDaniels]

Who is reading too much in to it ? All I'm saying is you guys are. It's been fabricated by Radio 1 and is no scandal.

[sebdevlin]

No they don't, Mark would have told me :heh:

Is he still locked up in your basement or did the rotter manage to escape:)

Meh, it gives me something to focus on that isn't coursework. I'm enjoying it, it's our own little consipiracy theory.

[goldengirl]

...this paul bloke is covering aliens up....

Really :shock: how do you know? What kind of Aliens? :heh:

Oh we all love a good conspiracy!!

[goldengirl]

Basement??? Do you know me at all? He is on the mantelpiece!!! Can't admire him from the basement!! :*

[pauldenchfield]

Hi - looks like it was a false alarm. Really sorry about that. I'm still going to follow up any other palusible leads but thanks for chasing this one up. I'll keep you informed if I hear anything, and let me know if you spot anything odd anywhere. Cheers, P.

[sebdevlin]

Really :shock: how do you know? What kind of Aliens? :heh:

Oh we all love a good conspiracy!!

I knew it!!!! lol

[FoxDaniels]

Paul was no doubt hoping to choose a time when listeners weren't listening to fabricate a theory. Is this why Edith Bowman is being used? Is it a time when no one listens and so easier to claim weird things were happening... wouldn't put it past him!

[sebdevlin]

Today philosophical debate: If listeners aren't listening then surely they can't be classed as listeners discuss or not you decide

[mickeyc]

For what it's worth I've reluctantly been following this with a cautious eye and an open mind since it all kicked off and I have my own theories. I'm posting this on a few blogs and boards so that when the truth is out and one of my theories are correct you can all say I got it first. And before you all start pointing the finger at me if this is my first post on your blog/messageboard then forget it (though I do like the idea of being part of it so actually you can accuse away).

OK here goes.

The 'BBC did it' argument

It could be the BBC promoting something like their up and coming Big Weekend. Perhaps Franz Ferdinand on the London Eye maybe (Frozen Indigo Angel anagram minus 1 letter)? Though it is interesting it appeared on a Arctic Monkey podcast and on the DAB tracklisting screen just as Edith Bowman was playing an Arctic Monkeys song. Another Arctic Monkeys gig perhaps? Do Radio 1 need to promote Arctic Northern Monkeys any more than they have done in the last few weeks though? I think not. They could be using Arctic Monkeys because there are some clues in the songs? Are the clues in the songs? 'Brianstorm' is a wordplay on Brainstorm (where lots of people come together and discuss ideas - which is what we are doing here) ... 'Top marks for not trying' - well done to everyone who didn't get sucked in perhaps? 'You are the unforcasted storm' - the storm that is whatever this is all about? 'See ya later innovator' - suggests something innovative is happening? Viral marketing is no longer innovative... could this be something more than 'another bloody youtube video to send to all your mates' hence the 'See ya later'? It might not be Radio 1, it could be BBC 1 promoting Doctor Who with a little help from their friends at Radio 1 (Both the doctor and his assistant appeared with Jo Whiley recently - perhaps there were clues in there that we missed? All of a sudden Scott Mills appears as the new host for the National Lottery - coincidence or case of 'you scratch my back I'll scratch yours'.

The 'Denchfield did it' argument.

I'm thinking too deep on that one but to be honest I don't think it is from within the BBC. Here's why I think Denchfield did it. OK Podcasts, Vodcasts and Tracklistings can't be faked from the outside, we all have them on our computers, downloaded from the Radio 1 website. I don't doubt that they happened... but I think he did them whilst working for Radio 1. He would have had access. Anything that has happened since he left has been questionable. Now he hasn't access they are appearing in places that could easily be faked. No one spotted the TV screen in real time - he could have easily faked it himself in Photoshop and said it happened. Also, didn't he used to be in a reality TV show ('Wanted' on Channel 4)? Then surely he is either trying to build his own online reality show (and god knows where it will take us) or he is promoting the return of 'Wanted' or some other reality show? He's got to do something other than sit at home watching Jeremy Kyle regretting messing with the mighty BBC wondering if he'll ever get back behind or in front of the camera. 'Wanted'? More like 'Unwanted' Paul.

Other theories

The 'Neither the BBC did it or Paul Denchfield' argument. What if there is a real plot going on here. This could be the work of an ex-employee who left on good terms - do the BBC change passwords every time someone leaves or only after less than amicable partings like this? What if someone has got access to the BBC servers and databases? It could be something simple like someone with access left and has started his own band call 'Frozen Indigo Angel'...or it could be more sinister. What if someone really has been planting subliminal messages for ages and these are the first to be spotted. Have we all been subliminalled and does anyone know if subliminal messages really work? What if Derren Brown has subliminaled us all and we only think we are spotting Frozen Indigo Angel on the BBC - a genius plot by Channel 4?

I don't know. I love a conspiracy theory, I'm partial to 'good' viral marketing and have got nothing better to do in work other than waste time on this kinda stuff. Either way, I'm enjoying the ride that we are all probably taken for.... it'll be fun seeing what happens along the way.

Can we go home now?

[Riz]

Thats my bed time reading for tonight.

[Timsk]

EDIT: Not now. No further comment on all this at the moment... No answers, only further questions.

[FoxDaniels]

If you don't like reading about this, don't read it? Fair point? Think so.
