Posted by Huw,
Further to the article we published earlier about Channel 4's documentary The Secret World of LEGO, here is a press release from the publishers of Bricks and Bricks Culture whose launch is featured in the programme:
Channel 4 lifts the lid on the huge underground community of LEGO fans
The team at Bricks Culture and Bricks is delighted to have collaborated with this major broadcaster in the making of THE SECRET WORLD OF LEGO to be screened on Channel 4 this Sunday 14th June at 8.00pm.
Mark Guest, founder and owner of Bricks and Bricks Culture is featured in the programme morphing from ardent LEGO fan into directing that passion and sharing the love, through the launch of two magazines with an unrivalled breadth of content of outstanding quality, for the like-minded community of people who love LEGO. Mark said, “For a new magazine this was a fantastic opportunity, to be involved in the demystifying of a network of ordinary people who just happen to be passionate about LEGO was fantastic. I am delighted to have been able to contribute to this program and share the passion that the Team at Bricks and Culture bring to our magazines”.
Bricks Culture, which features heavily in the programme, examines the rich and complex cultures that have developed in adult LEGO communities. This lavish quarterly magazine celebrates the creators of stunning artworks, the entrepreneurs transforming their hobby into their employment, the intellectuals analysing this pop culture phenomenon and the innovators filling gaps in the market with their own products and services.
Bricks, its sister publication, delivers community-focused content every month, covering all aspects of the hobby. It contains regular columns from well-known members of the fan community, the latest and greatest releases, in-depth analysis, interviews with LEGO Group employees and celebrities, plus plenty of hints and tips to enhance your LEGO lifestyle.
Each print edition is supported by multiple levels of interactive content and numerous ways for you to engage with the brand. Mark adds, “We had a phenomenal reaction to our interactive election special in May and the team has a wealth of new and innovative surprises for our readers”.

Another advertisement for Brick(s Culture). I can already hear the comments from (involuntary) Blocks subscribers. Here we go again...
Is there any streaming of any kind for this channel 4?
@Yago I'm sure it'll be all over The Pirate Bay etc. shortly after broadcast, yup. If you are, or can pretend to be (VPN) in the UK, then Channel 4 has streaming via '4OD'.
@yuffie: My comment was not a reaction on yours, I'm sorry if I offended you! Moreover, although I have no personal experience with any of the magazines, I can fully understand the frustration of people that 'got stuck with' Blocks or that have paid but never received their copy.
Congrats on being on TV, Mark! :D
Maybe now he can be involved in demystifying why they can't get copies to subscribers?
AYYYYYOOOOOO!!!
