Suzy was the most annoying so good riddance. The mrs reckons Jason Bradbury was eating in the same restaurant as us once (many moons ago) – I wasn’t convinced.

Wish I had gone to the Gadget Show Live. Sounds like some great kit to have a go on especially as I am looking to build a new PC.

Suzi for me was great, it's Jason that can be annoying OTT

I worked with Jason years ago on a project for Yorkshire TV which never really got off the ground (educational TV service for schools). Bit full of himself bearing in mind at the time he was a presenter on 'Trouble Tv', but very quick witted and funny.

I managed 2 or 3 of the 'new format' where they went travelling with that stupid diary'esk show format. Hated it. Never liked Polly with her fake 'I LOVE GADGETS!' enthusiasm and thought it was at it's prime with Jason, Suzi, Otis and Bentley.
Glad they've tried to save the show though.

I stopped watching around the time they brought Polly in, you could tell she was just there because she was a good looking girl and had zero presenting skills - TBH I never liked how they objectified Suzy either, I mean WTF has a leather catsuit got to do with gadgets? (however good she might look in it). She's a experienced presenter and journalist, it just seemed unnecessary and a bit beneath her. Suppose its just the 'FHM' mentality of Channel 5 at work.

Polly has developed as a presenter, I have nothing against her on TGS, I too hated that they dropped Suzi and Jon, and I'm glad it looks like the show might be getting back on track. The format change was a loser.

Otis didnt have a clue about the gadgets.

John Bentley is the only one whose opinon is worth listerning to.

Polly was obviously introduced ready to replace Suzi which was a shame and the best format of the show was Suzi, John, Polly and Jason but i never believed anything they said and i always thought it made Topgear look like a serious consumer program

But Polly is fit and some of her dresses would make Racheal blush

I think the Japan episode was the first of the new format. One could argue they deliberately had PollyBigTits dress like that so people would watch it.
To be honest after seeing it a few times I couldn't be bothered
The whole 'lets jump in a car and chat gadge, "oh I've arranged something here, pull over"'
It made TopGear's challenges look unplanned and spontaneous!
