Is it just me thats getting bored with Gadget show?
 
Sat watching Gadget Show, and am seriously bored with the same old stuff they seem to be regurgitating?

I sky+ last weeks show and then managed to watch it in about 20 minutes.

It was a really good show but just seem to have run out of ideas. And the constant going to australia to test a camera - WTF - free holiday for cast and crew!!!!!

I could put the remote thru' the screen during that
ridiculous list of prizes.:smt120

Rant over..

Yep me too, not enough testing of products, too many stupid challenges.

Tonights was dire I thought.

Did like the Air guitar gadget

Yeah it's all challenges now, no real testing and some of the stuff is outta reach of most peoples budgets.

On the plus side, polly is lovely :)

20 minutes? I usually take less than 15 to watch the whole show.
'We chucked them all down a flight of steps and the ones that didn't still light up were eliminated' etc. Their testing is pretty dubious, shouldn't wonder if manufactures donate plenty of samples for the prize fund to get product placing.

Someone I know at work, knows someone who works on the show and says the manufacturers who pay the most get the highest placing.

Can't be true with the destruction tests, but I believe it for some of the others

2 very good reasons for me not getting bored of it.

1 blonde. 1 brunette.

Looks like Guy Martin is testing pedal bikes next week.

Thats a third. Purely in my pursuit to learn a new language of course.

I got bored with it about 2 series ago. I cant stand that Jason bloke. He needs a slap. However, Polyanna in that swim suit last night was worth the wait.
