Has it got a little silly? 45k of gadgets? Who needs that lot? I bet most of it would end up on eBay. Even the presenters sounded bored listing it all. I would keep the Vanessa's Lunchbox though.

I imagine she wouldn't give it up without a struggle.

Yeah but it's 45k of gadgets at full retail so 20-30k real price that they'll have paid little or nothing for, and after 100000 people have texted in at a quid a pop they'll soon be quids in!

Can't abide that show and only rate one of the reviewers. The guy with the glasses is particularly annoying.

I had one of their researchers/fixers on the scrounge for some of our company gear a few months ago for a feature they were doing on a completely unrelated product.

He was aghast that I would have the temerity to charge him for our services. Expected about £2k for free and wouldn't endorse or even mention our company. He was most upset when I politely told him to jog on.

His real-life personality is much better than his on-screen one. I did some filming in Edinburgh some years back with the Gadget Show, and he was the only presenter who was actually friendly. Suzy Perry wouldn't talk to anyone 😉

The races are fixed, by the way, in case you hadn't worked that out...

I have a sneaking suspicion that the female presenter is actually some kind of motorised mannequin. Her skin looks very plastic and weird.

I have to admit I haven't got a clue what most of the prizes do or why I would want them in my life.

They move electrons around in entertaining ways. As the electrons move more, the people move less. It's conservation of energy.

I'm a physicist, me.

What was funny was that we were escorted by one of those council vans with the CCTV camera on a telescopic pole. Whenever there was a holdup in the filming, the operator would extend his pole and perv through people's windows 😀

Didn't the operator have someone else to extend his pole for him?

he gets a real bashing every time TGS is mentioned on here, but I remember a bike-related segment once where he basically pratted about doing a load of BMX-flatland stuff before they started the 'contest' properly, got the impression he was pretty handy on a bike regardless of how the producers and editors use him.

The woman who did the test last night on the motorised hang glider thing seems to have her head in the right place though - when they were getting buffeted by turbulence and the instructer told her to relax and go with it, the analogy that jumped into her head was "sort of like on a mountain bike when you loosen your arms up on the bumpy bits and let the bike glide over" or words to that effect. I liked that.
