Default The Gadget Show

I really like this show and think the presenters are some of the best on the telly. But I now record the show so I can skip through the bloody prize-bundle horseshit, and when I strip out all this stuff and the ads, I can watch the whole show in little more than half the time.

Seriously, who actually CARES what's in the bundle? Does ANYONE say " I will/won't enter this week because the prize includes/doesn't include a xxx"?

It was bad enough before, but now they get some random to wander through a house reading out what's up for grabs, usually in some semi-literate style.

Am I just getting old, or is this just a cheap way for Channel 5 to fill an hour of telly and - they hope- sell a few more competition entries?
