This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''The Gadget Show''''' is a British [[television]] series which focused on consumer [[technology]]. The show, which was broadcast on [[Channel 5 (UK)|Channel 5]], was presented by [[Ortis Deley]], with reports from [[Georgie Barrat]] and [[Jon Bentley (TV presenter)|Jon Bentley]].

Originally a thirty-minute show, it was extended to forty-five minutes, then later to sixty minutes. Repeats have also aired on the digital channel [[5Star]], syndicated broadcasts on [[Discovery Science (European TV channel)|Discovery Science]] and [[Dave (TV channel)|Dave]] (in edited down half-hour versions), and Channel 5's on-demand service [[My5]]. In Australia, it is aired on [[The Lifestyle Channel]]. ''The Gadget Show'' has received many [[Guinness World Records]].

==Format==
[[File:GadgetShowSet.jpg|thumb|left|The former ''Gadget Show'' set]]

===2004–2006: Beginnings===
The show previews and reviews the latest [[gadget]]s, 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 knowledgeable audience, but still making it accessible to the more casual viewer. The show has featured [[Blu-ray Disc]]s, [[video camera]]s, [[MP3 player]]s, Internet multi media tablets and other technologies. A segment showing viewers how to get the most out of their technology was also often included along with a competition to win anything from £5,000 to £45,000 worth of new gadgets. Each series usually contained a special episode focusing on a particular technology [[Business conference|conference]] or [[Computer expo|expo]]. Past conferences include [[CeBIT]] and the [[NextFest]].

===2007–2010: Studio and time increase===
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 took place outside of the studio. The studio sections were filmed at [[The Custard Factory]] on Gibb Street in [[Digbeth]], [[Birmingham]], England. This was until a new set was introduced and the studio was then moved to inside The Gadget Show's offices located inside [[North One Television]] in Digbeth. A recurring theme in the updated format was 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 was that now the week's main featured gadget(s), typically reviewed by Jon, was given a 'G rating' from one to five. The seventh series, which started on 29 October 2007, saw the programme promoted to a 20:00 start time (previously 19:15), and running increased from forty-five minutes to one hour.

From series 8, there was 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 picked their favourite gadget from a particular category that they think changed the face of modern gadgetry, and then Jon picked the one to win and go up on the wall. There were also several other recurring features (such as aforementioned "Top 5", and 'The Focus Group' - testing products with various groups of people, who voted for their best one) which were featured in episodes on a semi-regular basis.

The show also offers a competition, (answering a multiple choice question, by [[phone]], [[SMS]] or postal entry) that gives the winner on some occasions up to 250 prizes.

For 2010, the programme received a rebrand centred on the [[Museo (typeface)|Museo]] typeface. This included refreshed titles and [[Bumper (broadcasting)|break bumpers]]. Also in 2010, the show saw the release of a supporting magazine called 'The Gadget Show Magazine'.
Despite advocating HD content and reviewing high definition television sets, cameras and other devices, the show continued to be produced and broadcast in standard definition, being upscaled on the [[Channel 5 (UK)|Channel 5]] HD simulcast channel. It would take until the World Tour series for the show to begin broadcasting in native HD.

In August 2011, it was announced a new series of ''The Gadget Show'' would be shown on Fridays. However, from 26 September 2011, the show reverted to Mondays, due to strong competition on Friday nights.

===2012–2013: World Tour revamp===
In February 2012, it was announced that the show would be in a new, revamped format. It was called ''The Gadget Show: World Tour'', and it started airing on 23 April 2012. The new version of the show saw presenters [[Jason Bradbury]] and [[Pollyanna Woodward]] travelling the world to test the latest gadgets and partake in a number of challenges. The reception of the show from fans, after the first few broadcasts were generally negative, questioning Jon, Ortis and Suzi's drop from the show.<ref>((cite web|last=Heritage |first=Stuart |url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2012/nov/13/new-gadget-show-channel-5 |title=The All New Gadget Show: give us the old one back please |work=The Guardian |date=2012-11-13 |access-date=2013-06-29))</ref> ((original research inline|date=August 2012))

The next series, under the name ''The All New Gadget Show'', began airing on 5 November 2012.

===2013–2016: Back to origins, presenter changes===
For the 17th series, [[Jason Bradbury]] and [[Pollyanna Woodward]] were joined by ''[[Countdown (game show)|Countdown]]'' co-presenter [[Rachel Riley]] and former Gadget Show presenter [[Jon Bentley (TV presenter)|Jon Bentley]] who re-joined the show as chief gadget tester.<ref>((cite web|last=Glanfield |first=Tim |url=http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2013-04-04/countdowns-rachel-riley-joins-the-gadget-show |title=Countdown's Rachel Riley joins The Gadget Show |publisher=Radio Times |date=2013-04-04 |access-date=2013-06-29))</ref> It was announced that ''The Gadget Show'' would return to its more traditional format, with a new studio. On 30 January 2014, it was announced that [[Ortis Deley]] would be returning to the show, replacing [[Pollyanna Woodward]].<ref>((Cite web|url=http://about.channel5.com/node/1925|title = My5))</ref> On 25 April 2014, it was announced that Riley would be leaving the show and would be replaced by Olympic skeleton gold medallist, [[Amy Williams]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2014-04-25/rachel-riley-replaced-by-olympic-gold-medalist-amy-williams-on-the-gadget-show |title=Rachel Riley replaced by Olympic gold medalist Amy Williams on The Gadget Show |publisher=Radio Times |access-date=25 April 2014))</ref>

From the 22nd series, in-studio presenter links were scrapped; so, the filmed inserts were linked by graphics and countdown clips with [[Narration|voiceover]] from Bradbury, Deley, Williams and Bentley. A new logo and graphics were also introduced. New features included profiles of [[YouTube]] creators and vloggers and a section called Gadget Help where viewers of the show can get tech help to solve their problems. For the 23rd series, the show returned to a Friday night slot for the first time since 2011.

===2017–22: Craig Charles, a return to studio links, and Gadget Show Live axed ===
At the end of the 24th series of ''The Gadget Show'', it was announced that Bradbury had decided to quit the show after 12 years. A day later, it was confirmed that Amy Williams would also leave. Furthermore, it was also announced that ''The Gadget Show Live'' had been axed in 2017 in favour of a new technology show taking place at [[Westfield London]]. The 25th series saw the show have a revamp. Channel 5 were keeping quiet as to what would happen in the new series.<ref>((cite web|url=http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2194730|title=Jason Bradbury Quits The Gadget Show - TV Shows: UK - Digital Spy Forums|work=DigitalSpy.co.uk|date=20 December 2016 |access-date=14 February 2017))</ref>

The show in its 26th and 27th series continued with the hosts from the 25th series with all studio filming taking place to the south of Birmingham in the 'Studio 212' complex operated by the privately owned company drp.

For the new format, the name was changed to ''The Gadget Show: Better Tech, Better Life''. In 2023, the name was changed twice further: a block of programmes airing from March amended the sub-title to ''The Gadget Show: Shop Smart, Save Money'' with a further sequence of programmes from 9 June dropped the 'Gadget Show' name after 19 years, adopting the title ''The Good Gadget Guide: Shop Smart Save Money'', retaining the same presenters, opening titles, theme tune and format as the preceding series and as of September 2023 it was announced that Angellica Bell would be joining the presenting team.<ref>((Cite web |last=TVZone |date=2023-09-15 |title=THE GADGET SHOW UNDERGOES ANOTHER REBRAND AHEAD OF NEW SERIES ON CHANNEL 5 |url=https://www.tvzoneuk.com/post/gadgetshow-rebrand-sept23 |access-date=2023-09-17 |website=TV Zone UK |language=en))</ref>

===Guinness World Records===

===Failed campaigns===

The show launched a campaign for free [[WiFi]] access across the country. Viewers were urged to register their support on the show's website; [[Jason Bradbury]] promised to take the issue to [[10 Downing Street]] if the need arose, which it did, but got a reply rejecting his petition after over 30,000 names were sent in.((citation needed|date=August 2012))

In 2015, the show (and Worth Capital) also launched a "Future Gadget" competition which gave all budding entrepreneurial tech' inventors a chance to bring their new gadgets to market, with financial backing and advert space on Channel 5 for the overall tech winner. This competition was also to run alongside The Gadget Show Live 2015 in parallel as part of the selection process.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2015/02/63180-worth-capital-the-gadget-show-join-in-hunt-for-next-great-gadget/|title=Worth Capital & The Gadget Show Join in Hunt for Next Great Gadget - Crowdfund Insider|website=www.crowdfundinsider.com|date=23 February 2015))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=https://startacus.net/culture/future-gadget-2015-competition#.WckpQ7KGO1s|title=Future Gadget 2015 Competition))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2015/03/65108-worth-capital-cancels-future-gadget-competition/|title=Worth Capital Cancels Future Gadget Competition - Crowdfund Insider|website=www.crowdfundinsider.com|date=27 March 2015))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://realbusiness.co.uk/tech-and-innovation/2015/02/24/uks-top-inventors-hunted-by-worth-capital-and-channel-5s-the-gadget-show/|title=UK's top inventors hunted by Worth Capital and Channel 5's The Gadget Show - Real Business|date=24 February 2015))</ref> This competition itself was terminated early on as the show and Worth Capital felt that the initial entries were not to the highest of standards.((citation needed|date=November 2023)) Another major online media source suggested that a severe lack of investors, the enduring lengthy format processes as well as some of the terms and conditions (such as the equity stakes the entrants would have to give up when signing strict contracts) was the real reasons for the demise of this competition.((citation needed|date=November 2023)) The trust between the most loyal of fans and the show itself was heavily damaged as a conclusive result of this early cancellation.((citation needed|date=November 2023))

==Theme tune==
The original theme tune used from 2004 to 2011 was composed by Barrie Gledden and was entitled "In the Machine".

In Episode 4 of Series 16, Perry and Bradbury were challenged to create a new theme tune for ''The Gadget Show'' which would replace the current one used since the show's first broadcast using only consumer tech. Jason decided that he would use DJing software and equipment to compose his theme, whereas Suzi opted for using apps available on the [[iPad 2]] to compose her version. After the show, viewers were encouraged to vote for their favourite of the two on The Gadget Show's website, with the version receiving the most votes being chosen as the new theme. At the start of the next episode, it was revealed that Suzi's version was chosen by viewers and was first used in the opening titles of that episode.

A revised version of the theme, including 'drumbeat' elements, accompanied the World Tour series.

Between series 17 and 24, a theme credited to Andy Duggan was used. It was similar sonically to the first and third themes, melodically following on from the immediately prior (World Tour) theme but with electronic overtones akin to those of the original music.

Between series 25 to 35, Full Funk Force by Steven Ryder was used as the theme. From series 36, a new theme has been used.

==Website and YouTube channel==
''The Gadget Show'' website, which now is part of Channel 5's 5FWD website, contains information on topics and products discussed and featured on the show. In addition, the site contains product reviews, how-tos, news, and free 'web episodes', containing extra material not featured on the TV programme.

''The Gadget Show'' also has a [[YouTube]] channel which features special behind the scenes videos and Web TV episodes.

==''Gadget Show'' Live==
