The gadget show

Why does Jason Bradbury have to be such a lecherous t
t? Is he trying to appeal to the gadget nerds who've never had a girlfriend and watch reruns of the Gadget Show with their pants round their ankles hoping for a glimpse of Suzi's thigh?
Whilst he can be a bit excitable, I think he's a pretty good presenter and is clearly has a passion for the prodcts he presents, but his double-entendres and dribbling over Perry are crass and make him and the show look stupid.

Sadly I think that's exactly what he's aiming it..t? Is he trying to appeal to the gadget nerds who've never had a girlfriend and watch reruns of the Gadget Show with their pants round their ankles hoping for a glimpse of Suzi's thigh?For me, The Gadget Show has joined the list of programmes that can only be watched with the use of my Tivo, so I can fast forward thro the crap.
So it only last 15 minutes at the most now...
I'm sure its partly John Bentley's editorial influence, but they seem to have gone down the 5th gear / top gear track of actually not reviewing very much at all, let alone properly, but it being about the presenters and their 'hilarious' adventures.
Shame....
Standard Channel 5 routine.

It is by far and a long way the main reason I watch virtually no live broadcast TV any more. Including adverts you can guarantee that the average 1 hour show will have no more than 30 minutes of actual "new" material in it.
Wow! I didn't expect such a negative reaction, although listing the prizes out was very monotonous, plus I suppose the IPhone win was always going to be a foregone conclusion, the radio control car was nothing new and the autonomous penguins have already been done in fish form, but the show wasn't that bad. OK I admit it, it was Suzi's legs that kept me watching

k themselves stupid over any Apple kit they have and do a comparison of any tech v the iPhone and the iPhone always wins....
I desperately want to win the competition. I know I don't need 4 more TV's, 5 further cameras, extra games consoles, a couple of computers and a toaster but I really want them! Channel 5 actually has quite interesting prize giveaways.
The bald guy is a bit odd but he clearly knows his stuff. I just wish he would realise he doesn't suit "trendy clothes". The older guy with grey hair is also odd but I quite like him, seems to be enthusiastic about anything gadgety. Suzy isn't too bad for a lady probably over twice my age. Ortis (I think thats how he spells it) is ok, show would neither be better or worse without him. Certainly, I think, the presenters work well together without turning daft like some other shows...
The only grievance I have is the "coming up" sections which are just wasted airtime, much like what happens in FG.

Yeah He had that BMW one last week as well. Obviously a petrolhead! Does he have any connection to Sniff Petrol?
Not sure, but he did use to present Top gear. Richard Porter, who writes Sniff Petrol, is script editor for Top Gear.
