Gadget Man

Richard launches into a ruthless examination of how to make the most of your weekend by getting technology to help with the chores, the weekend workout, a night out, and the all-important journey home.

Richard Ayoade is shocked by the news that nearly half the working population feel their work-life balance is unbalanced and sets out to see if there are devices to make things better.

Richard Ayoade is joined by comedians Katherine Ryan and Tom Rosenthal to try out dating gadgets, including a £1500 handbag that displays messages, and a carbon dioxide cooling vest to make sure you remain ice cold however hot things get.

Richard meets up with actor Keith Allen to test drive a wallet tracker, a vest to make you look more muscley and a bullet-proof bag. Later, Richard meets up with comedian Bill Bailey to test a post-apocalyptic survival kit.
