The film isn't slow once it starts, and as they said, on V+ can be watched immediately. How can having a faster menu then have to wait until the film starts be a better option???

Having said that I don't buy films on VOD, but I do hope Suzi gets well soon
It was the slightly better picture from the V+ box that won it in the end wasn't it? Apple TV certainly has a far better faster interface but I agree with them that the HD picture isn't sharp enough (I have one)

Re: The Gadget Show

Sorry to bump such an old thread but just read that Suzi, Ortis and John have been ditched for the new series of the Gadget Show, instead Jason and Polly will be jetsetting across the globe

Source: http://fwd.channel5.com/gadget-show/...ooted-for-2012

Also confirmed by Suzi on twitter

Re: The Gadget Show

Was totally gutted when I saw Suzi's tweet yesterday and then read the PR. She was my main reason for watching

Don't see the need for them to change the format so much and ditch two of the better presenters.

Well at least Polly is still there

Re: The Gadget Show

By GS, Jason's screeching makes me want to kill him.

Pollys not enough to keep me watching.

Re: The Gadget Show

Perhaps they are changing to compete with Sky's new gadget show?

Saw some of the Sky show the other day and must say it looked very similar...

Re: The Gadget Show

I tried the new gadget show on sky but couldn't get into it.

As for the demise of Suzi, Ortis and John it looks like some pretty savage cost cutting to me.

Although I like Polly and Jason without the rest of the crowd it won't ever be the same.
