Gadget Man

Warning: Spoilers
I do occasionally watch television programmes that show the latest and greatest innovations in science and technology, but this one was different because it really showed the best in convenience and revolution for many aspects in everyday living. Hosted by Stephen Fry in series one, and Richard Ayaode in series two, they explore all new release and prototype gadgets on the market for household and outdoors that will change your life and the way you do the most basic or mundane of tasks, and have fun in doing so. All episodes stick to a particular function and use for all the gadgets, including commuting, shopping, food and drinks, home improvement (DIY), doing work in many jobs, playing games, health and beauty, exercise and fitness, cleaning, home entertainment, toys, camping, getting ready for the day, transport, children's entertainment and care, holidays, gardening, decorating, small gizmos, and much more that will spark your imagination and excite your interest. All episodes also feature celebrity guests to experience these new gadgets and their potential and possibilities, including Jonathan Ross, Derren Brown, Carol Vorderman, Jo Brand, Lord Sir Alan Sugar, Jeremy Clarkson, Amy Childs, Dame Kelly Holmes, Stephen Mangan, Sara Cox, John Humphrys, Denise Van Outen, Hugh Dennis, Noel Fielding, 'Handy' Andy Kane, Anna Ryder Richardson, Alex James and Jimmy Carr. This show is really good fun to watch, to see the latest electronic and battery powered technology gadgets available to put some excitement and improve things in everyday life, and the reactions of the people watching and working them in the show works well also, a great informative and comically styled documentary. Very good!

Clever and engaging
treywiggins17 January 2021
This show is clever and engaging, the host's dry humor sets the perfect tone for this series. Despite not seeing this until years after it was released, the majority of gadgets shown are new to me, likely due to their bizarre nature - a £330 glass chiller for camping use is not on many people's want list I imagine. Immensely entertaining, and my Amazon Wishlist will never be the same!

Fun and Clever but...

It's fun and clever. Love the quirky stuff he finds but man technology moves so fast that a lot of it is absolutely "ancient" just 9 years on. Windows 8 phones and the robotics compared to Boston Dynamics dancing, stair climbing robot people and dogs leave some of the tech seeming quite quaint.

Still great fun with Stephen Fry as host.
