The Gadget Show

Going down hill rapidly Used to be a good watch but now it's the same old gadgets virtually every week in one form or another. Reviewing gadgets that have been around for years... Clearly sponsored and despite bad tests still rate the poor equipment in some cases.

The Gadget Show used to be very informative showing you the latest gadgets from A-Z of the Gadget world, giving you the specs, they'd also tell you the good points and bad. I hadn't watched the show for a few years and I've watched two episodes recently and am so disappointed at how much it has been dumbed done. All the show does now is get the average Joe; mum, dad and child and an 'expert 'to test the cheap, medium, and expensive version of a product and ask them which one is best. Items like toasters, steam cleaners and electric bbqs with no in depth spec or description like the show used to do.

The show really peaked a while ago and is no longer good, would not recommend

The banter is contrived and cringeworthy. I'm not impressed.

With the departure of Craig Charles this has gone from structured, controllled and enjoyably informative to dismal. No lead presenter/compère leaves it meandering aimlessly. The best presenter is Jon Bentley...but there's no intro to him or what he will be reviewing at the start of the show. The early part led by Ortis and Georgie is so dumbed down that for me it's not watchable. They both presented well before but clearly need a different framework to present as well as they can. I can't watch any more, such a shame for the programme, the presenters and the viewing customers. I realise that Craig won't be back but surely there is someone else that could bring it back to life?
