Upstaged?
A few weeks back Guerrilla Geographers started up a group on Facebook called 'We're going to change Britain.' A few weeks later the group is nearly 50,000 strong and off the back of this geographical conversation and campaign we entered Upstaged, a talent show on BBC 3 in which you are given 6 hours to out perform another act on a sister stage. See how we got on here and watch additional clips of our efforts in the news archive for Tuesday the 11th of March.
