Information
The Gadget Show is a British television series focusing on technology and is broadcast on Five. Originally a thirty minute show, it was extended to forty-five minutes, then later to one hour. The theme tune used is "In The Machine" by Barrie Gledden. Repeats have also aired on the digital channel Fiver and the satellite channel Bravo as well as Five's Internet on-demand service Demand Five. In Australia, it is aired on The Lifestyle Channel.
Each week, the show previews and reviews the latest gadgets, and broadcasts the latest technology news. The show is aimed at giving the mass consumer an insight into the gadget world and in addition, it aims to give enough information for the more "geeky" or knowledgable audience, but still making it accessible to the more casual viewer. The show has featured Blu-ray Discs, video cameras, MP3 players and other technologies. A segment showing viewers how to get the most out of their technology is also often included along with a competition to win anything from £5,000 to £28,000 worth of new gadgets. Each series usually contains a special episode focusing on a particular technology conference or expo. Past conferences include CeBIT and The Next Fest.
Series 5 saw a slight tweak in the format, with the three presenters hosting from a studio base, although a lot of the show still takes place outside of the studio. The studio sections are filmed at The Custard Factory on Gibb Street in Birmingham, UK. A recurring theme in the updated format is a regular challenge between Jason and Suzi (and occasionally Jon and / or Ortis), typically set around particular gadget(s) and their testing or use based around it. Another addition is that now the week's main featured gadget(s), typically reviewed by Jon, is given a 'G rating' from one to five. The seventh series, which started on 29 October 2007, saw the running increased to one hour. From series 8, there is also a new "Top 5" feature which consists of the Top 5 gadgets in a certain category. At the start of the eleventh series, a new item was introduced, called the "Wall of Fame" where Ortis or Suzi and Jason pick their favourite gadget from a particular category that they think changed the face of modern gadgetry, and then Jon picks the one to win and go up on the wall. There are also several other recurring features (such as 'Top 5' - looking at the best products from various categories; and 'The Focus Group' - testing products with various groups of people, who vote for their best one) which are featured in episodes on a semi-regular basis.
The show also offers a competiton, (answering a multiple choice question, by phone, SMS or postal entry) that gives the winner on some occasions up to 180 prizes.
For 2010, the programme received a rebrand centred on the typeface "Museo". This included refreshed titles and break bumpers.
Also in 2010, the show will be seeing the release of a supporting magazine called 'The Gadget Show Magazine'.
