Now Gadget Show copies Top Gear

[LuS1fer]

Did anyone else see The Gadget Show which was a race between a Smart car and a stunning, stunning Gallardo Spider from London to Plymouth albeit Suzie decamped onto a train and he decamped onto a million pound speedboat halfway through. The "gadget" pretext overlay was about wireless technology and phones blah blah....but it was Top Gear really.

I missed that one because the show is utter st and the presenter are morons.

I managed to catch that race, I wouldn't call it 'Top Gear' though as there wasn't the mucking around that usually goes between the presenters.

Have you spotted the cool wall on gardeners world.





Good to see Suzy back on tv though.

A fair share of the production team work on both 5th Gear and The Gadget show...

OK, Top Gear without a predictable and unhilarious script.

Sounds about right.

But it has got Suzy Perry, which is good enough for me!

The Gadget show has been doing this for a while now. Head to head competitions, not necessarily involving point to point races in cars admittedly.

Like with Fifth Gear I sometimes watch to see the items reviewed and blank out the presenters and their drivel!

Stopped watching the Gadget show about 2 maybe 3 series ago. It was just getting stter and stter! Oh look Suzi wins the challenge. Oh look Jon Bentley looks out of sorts with technology (which I doubt personally!) and Jason loves something with the Apple logo stuck on it. Even if it's ste really!

Well it is no surprise really, Jon Bentley used to be a Top Gear producer. He moved over to produce 5th Gear and then the Gadget Show. Thing is though, the Gadget Show is hugely better than 5th Gear.

I only caught it by accident. It was Suzi and a black guy with an odd hair style who I assume to be the new presenter. It is all a bit Blue Peter.

I thought the 'wired vs wireless' race was really silly, and they do seem to be copying Top Gear.

Was it a yellow Gallardo Spider?

I saw one in Plymouth month or so back and wondered what the hell it was doing here?

No, it was a light gunmetal. He also ditched it in Salcombe (yeah, right) to catch the boat.
