As usual, you raise the question that's been bothering me so hard. It's a piece of shit book too...
My current working theory is its an old book that was in the depths of his desk and got dragged out when he packed all the stuff in his desk he actually uses. But then, why would he even need a legal book in London? Did he feel the need to revise when they were starting their companies / getting more into business side of things? This haunts me.
If you look closely it's actually a University of Manchester textbook specific to a first year undergrad law class than Dan will have taken, so my guess is it's an old textbook he's had since then that he either stumbled across while packing or specifically dug out to check some legal thing
Which makes sense, except I am trying to figure out why would he bring that textbook when moving to London in the first place?
maybe he just kept some of his uni stuff in case he'd want to use it as a prop in a video? or it might be when he dropped out of uni, he wasn't in the mindset that he would definitely never pick up studies again, so he didn't want to throw everything out and just stashed it somewhere, and now it was brought to the surface again while packing.
My laptop is currently sitting on a rather old eddition of
Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology, which I got for free second hand and is only vaguely related to my course. It's kind of useful for reference, but I've never used it for serious study, and I use it to raise up my laptop (to stop me hunching over it)
because I'm very unlikely to want to read it.
That sticking out part Dan's desk is slightly lower than the main part, and I think he puts his laptop there when he is filming in his room so that he can look at his script on the screen from where he sits. My guess would be that he keeps that book there permanently because he likes to put his laptop on top of it for filming, and he cba to move it in between. Sometimes it's useful to have a really fat book or two that you don't want to read, to use for things like that.

Hmm very interesting theories re: filming space and living space. It makes sense from what they've said in the moving video and tweets, kinda downplaying the difference in spaces. Oh it will just be all of our old stuff with extra storage. But I am wondering how feasible/affordable that would be in London to have two completely separate spaces. I can see two separate lounges and a private master bedroom in addition to two individual ones.
For whatever reason I doubt this space would have extra rooms for children. I dunno, I think they wouldn't want to start a family for another 5-10 years and would at that time buy another house. But I could be totally wrong.
Speaking of children... my son set an alarm for an hour early this morning so he could continue working on a two and a half foot long paper cut out of Phil... he's currently color his shirt in a soft pastel blue with a wolf on it. I told my husband I had nothing to do with this, but he says I'm ruining our child. (My son wants me to make a Dan so they can play games and make crafts together... okay maybe I have done something terrible).
Last night the husband and I watched Mario Kart 8, in which Dan looses because Phil says "I'm right up you butt", the two Yasuhati videos (love hearing all the comments about the neighbors after the fact, they were so done) and Bubble Bobble which the husband found boring but I really love the different dynamic, less sassy teasing from Dan and more "tell me how this works Phil". Freaking adorable. Plus not caring about rescuing their "girlfriends" in the game. (Yes I have watched all of those before on my own, but it's nice to take it all in a second time).
Ooo Spotify playlist... Yesterday I had Toxic stuck in my head for a good hour (I do love those last of Dan teach Phil to do the intro properly). And this morning I woke up from a dream about a placenta based solar system... Yeah I'm done.

I am in team "I want them to do a house tour" because I am a greedy fan and desire to see the spaces where they function in order to gain a feeling of authenticity in my/our fantasies of how they are living. But I am also team "I don't want them to do a house tour" because I do want them to have privacy and dislike the idea of people stalking them through floor plans, etc. And I also understand why they might want that privacy after almost every inch of their London flat being known. We've spoken before about things they would change if they'd known how famous they'd become, and I'm sure they wouldn't have shown as much of the flat. I imagine it must have been in odd in some ways for their living space to have been so tied up in their careers and brand.
I feel as though the most likely scenario for this new place is that they will have separate office filming spaces, or one space split between their aesthetics, and will definitely no longer film in bedrooms. The idea of them having two completely separate spaces for filming and living seems a little extravagant/unrealistic to me, and I think the concept of them putting all the familiar stuff (eg/ old couch) into a place for filming makes sense to me. However, I am also aware that my rejection of the two completely separates spaces theory goes back to my desire for them to do a house tour because I am attached to some idea of authenticity. Them moving to a new place and not showing a lot of that space to us saddens me in two ways: 1) Because I like feeling as though they are really sharing things with us willingly and out of a desire to share instead of simply sharing what they need to do in order to do the Youtuber thing/keep the hungry wolves at bay, 2) Because it is accepting an inevitable feeling of loss that we will never again know their space as we did before, because we were probably never meant to know it in that way, and because it is exhausting for them to share so much of themselves. The dual wanting a house tour/wanting them to not do a house tour thing places me on the line between my fan-self who cares more about deppy as sources of entertainment wants watching deppy to continue to feel like an authentic experience and some other part of myself that thinks about them as people who, goodness, must have to deal with a lot of exhausting stuff I would never be able to deal with.
I also know that, while all this speculation about how they might have separate spaces for filming and living/set up one room for filming and never show anything else creates a distinct feeling of discomfort and sadness for me now, this will likely pass. Once they do show us whatever they decide to show us, I will likely be able to adjust and convince myself again that whatever amount of authenticity I feel needs to be there will be there. (Because, really, how much authenticity was ever there in the first place? It's entertainment, so it's by nature performative, and even real life is performative in ways as well. Authenticity is so slippery to define, and I often feel as though I convince myself that the amount of authenticity I need to feel comfortable is there.)
tl;dr: I will be inevitably be v sad if deppy don't show us more than one room of their house/will be haunted by the knowledge that they might have a separate space for filming and living, but ultimately understand why they would make that choice and will probably get over it.

Last night I had a dream in which Phil gave me a weird tour of a parking garage and then I told him he'd be a good tour guide and that he has beautiful eyes. Then all of a sudden it skipped forward to the future and Phil was showing me his newborn son...
Honestly what even is my mind?
Edit: this dream reminds me of someone here who said that Phil's celebrity dream mention was anti-phan. If I could have a dream about Phil and still be devoted to my boyfriend of two years, then I think Phil's celebrity dream proves nothing regarding phan.
In regard to the house tour and such, I won't lie and say I won't be super disappointed if we don't get to see what the house looks like. But I also completely respect if they don't want to show us. But fully expect me to be quietly seething in disappointment.

I would very much like them to do a house tour! I think that yes, it seems tempting to keep a studio of sorts just for filming to preserve their privacy, but I think it might really impact the way they are seen as Youtubers.
To me anyway, the whole point of Youtube is such that you feel you are close to the content producer (although you aren't really) - but there's the whole illusion of familiarity - of someone just talking to a camera along their daily journey or bringing you through their life. Yes they undoubtedly keep aspects of their lives private and that's all well and good, but there is also a point where being too distant will end up alienating the fans. There's a reason why a Youtuber is so different from a mainstream Hollywood celebrity, say. The whole twitter/instagram/younow reinforces the idea that somehow they aren't completely out of our ordinary world (as a celebrity or singer might be), but that in many ways they are just like us and hence we watch them.
Having a studio/specific filming area for everything (apart from the gaming videos where a gaming station/area kind of makes sense) will really tear that familiarity and relatability for me, I think. I'm not sure if it was Tyler Oakley who made a video about moving out too and he said he was keeping the old place (?) or he had a place specifically for filming videos because he didn't want to show the interior of his house. Sorry if I'm misremembering and it's someone else! But I do remember that after that I felt really distanced and I might have very hastily unsubscribed. Because honestly, I watch Youtube to see someone whom I can believe (though it of course isn't totally so) is somewhat like me and I can relate to/empathise with - and having a whole designated filming area is just gonna change that for me, with Deppy.
Still, early days!

I agree. If deppy get a studio or make a specific room for liveshows and videos, some of the magic of feeling like they're just my friends and not celebrities will be gone. There's something about knowing what their space looks like that makes everything feel really personal and intimate and way more special than Hollywood celebrities.
And yes, I believe it was Tyler Oakley. He moved out of his apartment and instead of moving his filming space, he just kept leasing the old one and filming there. I think he eventually decided it felt like a lie, though, so he came clean about it.

If D&P set up a specific studio room where they film everything from main channel videos to liveshows to gaming then admittedly their won't be a lot of clues for sherlocking but I feel like by doing this will have waved the red flag in front of the bull. They will have created a mystery for they phandom to discuss endlessly and try and "solve". Because if they don't show us what are they hiding? One shared bedroom? That they don't really live together? Phils wife and kid? Dan's lover(s)?
Not only will crazy fan theories start to emerge but they'll be asked about it constantly and of course they'll be on the look-out for "clues" all the time.
I honestly think they'd be making a rod for their own back and it would be much easier for them to give a carefully edited tour of the place. Put it out there for the fans to see and then even if after that they stick to mainly filming in one room and we rarely get to see the rest of the house it'll be less of a mystery to the fans and they'll be less reason to speculate that they've got something to hide (unless of course they can't show us because they do ) .
That being said though if they've moved into some type of newish apartment where the 50 other apartments in the complex have identical layouts and there is potential for someone to scour property websites until they've matched it and found where they live then they probably should just do option 1 and just let the phandom turn it into a big mystery.

i don't see how dan could continue doing his storytime sketches while only using one or two rooms, unless they're specifically designed as studios and have actual props and set to imitate other rooms or if he chooses to photoshop the background in. over the time his videos featured the bathroom, the kitchen, the lounge, the corridor, the stairs, his room, phil's room, the office, the front door. of course nobody knows if he even wants to do any more sketches or if he does what kind of situations he'd want to recreate, since lately more often than not he's been doing stuff that only requires one room (ISG ), but hey i'm sure we'll at least see the kitchen when they bake something.

In Dan's last liveshow he talked about wanting to change up his filming background, how he'd like to use the desk instead and asked us to let him know some things he could put there to make it look nice, which he also referenced again in the new moving video. So since he is seemingly planning a new setup that doesn't involve a bed, I could imagine it would work quite well if they had one room for filming, divided into Dan's half with the desk, and Phil's half with whatever he'd like to have in his background. I personally would definitely love this idea, as I am lazy and wouldn't have to constantly clean the room that I am using all the time that way.
Tyler seems to have started treasuring privacy a lot more in recent years, and I often think about the analogies I see between him and deppy, because he was in a similar situation of being shipped very intensely. I think that's just something very intruding that we probably can never understand to the full extent of it, so I totally understand if him and deppy (or anyone else) share life things only very deliberately and measured.
I am team pro-whatever-deppy-want, because I am definitely curious about what their new home looks like, but I wouldn't be wildly sad if they didn't show anything at all either. If I'd have to speculate, I am guessing too that there won't be a house tour in quite a while (if ever), but we'll gradually see little bits here and there. (But then again, if in the post-baking-universe a moving announcement was possible, I don't trust my expectations anymore at all)

all of my old apartments were like that. and idk much about the history of house development in the UK (why would i?) but around here that's a thing with houses too. my house was built in the mid-80s, and my whole street has identical interiors with slightly varied exteriors. (the street didn't exist until then.) even for normal people, that can make it a bit creepy when your neighbour sells their house.
which is all to say: i hope they show us as much as they can while keeping privacy and staying safe. or, show us whatever they want.

Maybe that's the new strategy: to keep everyone occupied with a manufactured mystery to distract them from the usual theorizing
I'll kick it off with this though: that picture isn't even in their new place, it's part of the IRL office and even though the 'they're moving' camp was right, so was the 'they're moving to a studio space to film' camp
dun dun dunnn
Like why are there wigs on that couch. Phil's prop chest ended up being unpacked in the same room

This is a really good point! Tbh I feel like it's a bit presumptuous to assume they entirely regret showing the interior of their house in such detail. I'm sure they wish their address had never been found out, and maybe to a certain extent they wish they'd kept elements of the old house private, but in my view they seemed pretty comfortable with filming different rooms in their house. They both filmed sketches throughout the house (bathroom, kitchen, lounge-room, hallway etc) that really enhanced their videos, and filmed multiple ditl and baking vids, plus instances like Phil willingly showing their living room decorated for christmas in live shows etc.
Of course, it's definitely possible that with this house they want to do things differently but tbh I don't get the vibe that they want to keep it
completely private aside from filming locations. I think it's most likely that, at least at first, they'll be controlled with what they show us rather than giving it all away in a house tour, but in the long run I think it's a bit of a stretch to assume they'll fob us off with a set-like filming situation and let us believe that it's their genuine living space.
But yeah, ultimately I hope they do whatever they feel comfortable doing!

I'm going to remain optimistic that they'll show us around at least a little. With their decision to share a lovely sentimental video like "We're Moving Out", Phil's candid picture of Dan carrying boxes and his tweets about the joys of moving, all this hype and Deppy's love for tradition, I feel they will definitely do some kind of apartment tour or domestic moving-in vlog. Just perhaps not so in depth as the previous tours where they mentioned the floor number or showed the areas outside, and probably not straight away. Maybe we can expect a couple of chilled ls in which they pan to a load of boxes in the corner and sigh, or excitedly show us a feature of something ridiculously domestic and gaudy like a cool faucet
for their ensuite jacuzzi. Deppy also definitely feel self-aware enough to know that shutting us out too much could risk alienating their audience, and YouTube as far as we know is still their main source of popularity and income. Dan said it himself that YouTube audiences like things to feel authentic, and their brand is based around their aesthetics and their knick-knacks and their dynamic as housemates. Sure, they definitely won't share EVERYTHING and there'll likely be a secret room or two but I doubt they'll hide TOO much. Just enough to have some well-deserved privacy. Maybe I'm completely wrong.
Either way...

I think they know that a huge allure of YouTube is feeling familiar to their audience. They've spoke about it before and just saying, they're good at what they do. I don't think they would want to create that much of a distance if they didn't have to. This isn't a judgement of them if they choose to keep their home private, just a guess that they won't.
There may not be a tour video, but I'm pretty certain they won't be living and working in two separate spaces. I think it will be much the same as it has been lately. They'll probably have designated filming areas- a gaming room and a separate background for AP and dinof (I'm a fan of the concept that it would be a single room splitting aesthetic depending on camera angles). But we'll likely get to see their kitchen in future baking videos. We'll likely see shots of their lounge in a future DITL. And I'm sure the rest may make cameos eventually in side channel videos or creep-shots or little instagram/twitter videos like "what in tarnation". As long as they don't walk us through the whole damn place or draw it out for us and publish it in a book, wtf were they thinking then I think there's pretty low chances of people finding where they live based on that. And they likely wouldn't sacrifice the illusion of familiarity for such a low risk when they can reasonably keep themselves safe without it.

I think this whole thing also depends on the level of security in their new place. If they live in an apartment within a building that has a doorman and security, I think they will be more likely to reveal the layout of the place. If it isn't reasonably secure or if it's on a busy road again (which I doubt it will be because they hate the noise), then I can see them being more tentative about what they show.

Guys!
'Most users ever online was 256 on Tue Apr 25, 2017 7:36 pm'
We did it

(We're an excitable bunch hey.)
Also, general question, when you go to the video 'We're Moving Out' you can see statistics on the page? And you can look at views, 'subscriptions driven' and shares? I tried looking at their other videos to see if this was available but I can't see it on other videos. (For reference, I clicked More beside Share and Statistics showed up. I've never seen this before, it's so strange and I'm not sure what it means. Anyone less clueless than I am?)
It says Subs driven 679 at the moment. I'm very confused. (I also have screenshots just in case it disappears, I just don't know how to insert pictures on here from my laptop.)

I was gonna say, showing the interior isn't that big of a deal is it? London is a big, big place with only so many different types of flat/house layouts: you'd have to trawl through a Iot of property listings and probably would still only be able to narrow it down to a few streets in a few different areas of London (e.g the 3 storey terraced house I live in in North London has almost the same layout as every other house on my street, and the streets around it, and is very very similar in layout to other streets full of 3 storey terraced houses in West London where my grandma used to live)
I mean, knowing the layout of the flat isn't what made people find out their old address. They filmed out the window of their flat once and I instantly recognised what was opposite which is how I found out, (and I assume probably others that live and/or work in {removed}). They've also geotagged tweets by accident and even had their address visible on a letter in a video before. I'm sure if they steer clear of those sort of mistakes this time they can show us every room of the new place (if they want to!) and we'd be none the wiser.
P.S. I think the 'wobbly wall' is a blind and if it goes down to the floor that indicates a door that goes out to a balcony/garden to me.

People didn't find their previous location due to the apartment tour though, the biggest offenders were that people often spotted them at the nearby tube station many times (it was pretty easy to kinda.. track them when they still went in and out of the BBC several times a week though later they started taking taxis most of the time) and of course Dan infamously accidentally leaving his location on when tweeting from the nearest Starbucks. Also the time Phil talked about a sweet shop in their street that was closing (easily tracked down when you knew Dan's previously tweeted location) in the radio show or showing of baked goods from the nearby patisserie that happened to have a website. And just.. the internet. Those were big enough hints for people to figure things out, especially for phandom members who lived and/or worked in the area. I know Phantaray used to get an Anon every so often who worked in a shop on their street (never confirmed to be real of course) for example. And then assholes spread their address, leading to the 'omgz i totally randomly ran into them on the streets nevermind that this selfie was literally taken right outside their front door lolol' situation.
If they're careful enough an apartment tour won't form an immediate danger to their privacy I think. It's other things they would really have to be careful of if they want to keep the stalkers out as much as possible, though eventually people will know from spotting them in the area. I just hope people won't be dicks about it and ~exposing~ it on their public Twitter troll accounts but who the fuck am I kidding.. Anyway, from an apartment tour alone I'm sure the super stalkers could figure things out, but it won't immediately be the masses of people who were hanging around the street previously.
Also I'm awful, selfish and morbidly curious so I just really want an apartment tour.

I'm not sure how I feel about the theory of the split room for AP and DINOF videos. It seems a bit too strategic and impersonal for everyday life. I'm all for getting rid of the beds, but whenever the husband and I talk about house hunting there is always dreaming about our own rooms (in addition to the master).
My husband has a small "office" in our current house with his desk and computer and tons of shelves for action figures, but would like a larger room to fit his Legos and such (toy room). I would love a tea/meditation/art room. Right now I just have a desk with my computer on it, in a nook in our bedroom.
So while Dan was talking about it in terms of a backdrop, I feel like they would want to take advantage of their own personal aesthetic spaces. Dan's would of course have a
Ooo wild thought of Phil shooting in a sort of sun room with lots of where all the window walls were made of glass (I know, I know, not practical for a London flat). But realistically I would think they would both want rooms with a desk and their own editing computer. Sharing that space just seems impractical for time schedules.
I really am looking forward to seeing the kitchen. I would love more baking videos than just Halloween and Easter. Christmas please!
(I would also like cooking videos, but I am not getting my hopes up there.)

For the moment, we've decided to err on the side of caution with allowing the old address to be posted on IDB. We recognise that there's little chance that they will be returning to it for any reason, but until there is a liveshow, video, or tweet that is enough to prove there is no risk of harassment or loss of privacy relating to the old address please don't post the old address/area.

We did it

(We're an excitable bunch hey.)
Also, general question, when you go to the video 'We're Moving Out' you can see statistics on the page? And you can look at views, 'subscriptions driven' and shares? I tried looking at their other videos to see if this was available but I can't see it on other videos. (For reference, I clicked More beside Share and Statistics showed up. I've never seen this before, it's so strange and I'm not sure what it means. Anyone less clueless than I am?)
It says Subs driven 679 at the moment. I'm very confused. (I also have screenshots just in case it disappears, I just don't know how to insert pictures on here from my laptop.)
It's not a new feature, those are public stats that the video creator can enable or disable.
And yeah, subscriptions driven mean how many people subscribed to the channel from seeing the video.
Which is pretty low considering the video was trending, but it's probably because the number hasn't been updated yet.

Ok thanks for clarifying, I feel dumb now. I never knew it was a feature!
Regarding an Apartment Tour, I feel like it would be completely understandable if they didn't do one for privacy reasons, regardless of how popular you are online there should be somewhere where you feel safe and have that place private. I was watching Jacksepticeye and he mentioned in a couple of vlogs and on twitter that neither him or his girlfriend will be doing an apartment tour, as the house they are moving out of now has been completely bombarded with people turning up, knocking, waiting outside, even parents taking their kids as far as I remember. Which is completely wrong. I can't even begin to comprehend how invading it is to have strangers (which could be fans/subscribers) turning up at your door or standing and waiting. I get people want to meet their favourite youtubers, but there's a limit.
Maybe if they do one they'll be super careful and try not to film e v e r y t h i n g, make sure not to film out of windows/anything that could give away locations. I'm just intrigued what the house looks like and how they've decorated. Just show me some furniture/aesthetic rooms. I live for interior design.
