I have been meaning to post this for a while now. A show called Gadget Man, which looks at all things tech and gadget. First series was hosted by Stephen Fry, but he was replaced by Richard Ayoade (IT Crowd, Garth Merenghi) (not sure why, but the timing suggests it was when Fry was quite ill).

I quite liked the first series. Always nice to see Fry. But, it didn't grab me enough to post about it. But Ayoade seems a better fit as host.

Most of the second series is on youtube, but not available in my country. You can probably get it stateside. Which means I can't post my favourite episode here (episode 1, Stephen Mangan as guest). But i can post episode 6 ... let's see if that is available to you all, it's the only one i can access ;p



I really like Richard Ayoade. I've loved him in everything I've seen him in. Quietly, and without any great fanfare, he's become very well-known and respected as a comedian, actor, writer, TV presenter and director.
