The Gadget Show World Tour

[CurvaParabolica]

Tokyo - I miss you so much; I remember going to Akihabara when I was there in 2007; utter heaven.

Oh and well played Jason; any excuse to get Polly into costume

Edit for crummy iphone autocorrect mistake

Asimo is superb, but everytime I see it/him/her I ask myself the same question, what is the benefit to Honda?

Shows their technological know-how but not really sure how it relates to their products. Can't see a Civic getting me a beer from the fridge.

Thought it was a bit rubbish to be honest, switched over

[DoctorX]

Yep, still full of irrelevent stuff and not enough consumer stuff. Half an hour of Jon every week would be better than this.

[AnotherClarkey]

The format is garbage and there is no chemistry between Jason and Polly. He is having to carry the whole thing and she is incredibly dull. Gadget show RIP.

Exactly what I was just saying. Robots are boring. Until they can fetch me a beer and do my bidding they can sod off.

Always got the feeling she fakes her love of gadgets. Jason on the other hand is really passionate and that comes across.

Think she also auditioned for Pop Idol or something

Anything to be famous and on TV I suppose.

That fighting robot at the end was quite cool though. Much amusement using it try and wrestle the cat.

[24lemons]

If they must waste their time reviewing crap toy robots (as the gadget show always has) they might as well review action man dolls. Also, how often do you encounter kendo warriors on your daily commute? It's the same st they've always peddled just in a slightly different format. Yawn.

Have they ditched Suzie Perry and the other guy (Otis?)

I like Jason but Polly just annoys me. Suzie was great.

I hope this isnt the new format and is just a few episodes

Nope, they've gone for good. This is it from now.

[richtea78]

bks to that then, I liked them. I always thought Johns bits were the most useful.

I am not going to drop £1500 on a robot that can fight other equally expensive robots but I have bought things he had recommended.

Stupid mistake IMO

[henrycrun]

is that awful John Bentley still on ? When he appears I have to hit mute and pop on the subtitles

Seems you're the minority there - But maybe you just mainly for the inflatable charms of Polly?

I think the 'other 3' should spin off a series a la 5th Gear - I'd watch that!

The BBC should pick the dumped three up and reboot tomorrows world, maybe putting on at 8:00. Pm Monday evenings. R.I.P gadget show.
