Episode 14 - Sports Day

Monday 03 May

In this week’s Gadget Show, it’s Sports Day! All 4 presenters take running, jumping and throwing events to their inevitable gadget laden conclusion. Also in the show: Jon goes to Pisa, one of Europes’ noisiest cities, and tries to find a quiet place to eat his Italian dish but ends up by a busy, loud road junction all in his quest to bring you the best Noise Cancelling Headphones. Jason lets you in on his top 5 favourite Pointless but Fun Websites. Thanks to all of these guys who made it all happen -

Can someone please list all the sites featured in the "pointless website" section? I have far too much free time at the moment.

Im sorry but the gadget show is just getting boring now! Last nights episode IMO didn't highlight any wonderful new gadgets; some of them were years old, most pointless and, if Im right in saying, most have been highlighted on the show before (or similar variants). I read Engadget and Gizmodo everyday and theres always something new to talk about, even if its just gadget gossip - you could even have a slot to review digital camera's each week and you'll never run out of products to show! Top Gear has gone a similar way; its no longer about the cars, more about the presenters messing about with cars (and caravans!) that no one has any interest in. Its now entertainment and thats got a bit boring ... and I actually want to watch a car show that reviews cars and tells me all about whats coming soon. IMO the Gadget show is heading that way too, so please, lets have more gadget testing, reviews and news and less running round doing pointless things with pointless products that most people don't want to buy!!
