Stephen Fry: Gadget Man

Because we don’t have enough Stephen Fry on ABC at the moment, he has a new series, Gadget Man, beginning tomorrow night.

Stephen doesn’t live life like the rest of us. He doesn’t get caught in traffic jams, doesn’t have to push his own shopping trolley or even hold his own toothbrush – instead he relies on his collection of trusty gadgets to make his life run smoothly.

In this show, Stephen tries out all the products and prototypes he can lay his hands on – gadgets from the future, gadgets from the past, life-changing ones and sweet little gizmos that will change the way you live your life tomorrow.

And he does it all in the company of some of his famous friends.

Every week Stephen also creates his very own super gadget. Or at least tries to.

In the first episode, Stephen and his guest Jonathan Ross look at how gadgets can make the daily commute more bearable and more fun. Gadgets include a very unconventional electric car, a very unusual bicycle and a 3D headset. And Stephen attempts to beat the traffic jams by creating his own fantasy super-vehicle.
