REVIEW. Carte Blanche's 22nd birthday broadcast a brilliant hour of
television, creating pitch perfect interaction with viewers.


Critic: If the unofficial slogan for Carte Blanche since its inception
has been “The right to see it all,” it's now added a new one:
“The right to be involved in it all.”

lessons learnt
What we learnt in The Garden
Viewers need guidelines
Interaction may mean dramatic change

What we learnt from Lego
Pieces can make many different things
Pieces may not be used

In short: we gave viewers some of the control
and some of the building blocks to see what
they’d come up with. Next time we’ll let them
bring the blocks too.
