    Jason Bradbury is the legendary host of The Gadget Show and one of the most recognisable faces of UK tech. He is also a huge gamer and has extensive knowledge of video games and is a huge retro gamer. It was a true pleasure to chat to Jason and discuss his TV career, how he met Sir Clive Sinclair and growing up with best mates David Walliams, Simon Pegg and Dominic Diamond.

    Jason gives an honest account of working on The Gadget Show, how he almost lost his head and how he helped carve out a TV career against the odds. He also spills the beans on The Gadget Show's iconic competition. He also talks about his favourite games, consoles and loads more.

    Jason also chats about his CTRL A.I. DELETE, his latest movie project, which is a homage to classic 80s movies and retro gaming. Please help support Jason by checking out his project below using the KIckstarter and website link.

    Movie Description: It’s an 80s hacker movie, set in the modern day - and in an age of 24-hour connectivity - it’s a love letter to an era when computing and gaming were a lot simpler. More importantly, at it’s emotional core, ‘Ctrl AI Delete’ is about how a group of very ordinary friends dig deep and find a courage and resourcefullness they never knew they had, in order to fight against a global disaster.

  • Video games today all seem to play it safe, with many gaming companies sticking to the tried and tested formulas and endless sequels.

  • Why a top fifteen? Because, er, that's how many Adrian could find! Warning: there are NO ATARI CONSOLES IN THIS LIST. I repeat. NO ATARI. Just kidding! Nintendo, SEGA and SNK are also listed, but which unreleased console had the most potential?

  • James takes us on (possibly) one of his last ever whistlestop tours of a gaming genre. However, this time Adrian has managed to strongarm him into doing both the fighting and beat 'em up genres at the same time. We think he did a fab job.

  • Seeing as the last days of the podcast are on the horizon, we're unleashing our inner demons. Those being our love for modern gaming! Yes we've done this before a bit, but this time we're making James host it while taking Steve hostage in Adrian's absence.

    J covers the best of what's coming up for modern day (trying not to say 'current gen') gamers while we have a good ol' rant about what modern games we're loving and not loving so much.

  • It's time for another "definitive" list - this time we compile our 20 favourite characters created by SEGA. Sort of.

    Also seems a good time to discuss HBO's slick small-screen adaptation. Here's 2.5 hours of TLOU goodness. And we might just discuss the sequel later this year.
