Richard Ayoade & David Mitchell's Gadget Party: Gadget Man: The FULL Episodes | S3 Episode 8

hello i'm richard duke are you rd and i'm about to fling a flock of the latest gadgets right at you unless you're watching a repeat in which case just wallow in the nostalgia hi gadgets along with irreverent panel shows are at the forefront of mankind's stout breasted battle against tedium how long did that take that's accepted it was quick this week i along with two channel four vetted companions attempt to prove that with the right gadgets you'll never need to leave home again sprees of unimaginable violence are totally consequence-free zoom is in trouble you can handle it you're a beast so in the words of my mouth let's proceed gadget word they say going out is the new staying in well actually no one says that going out is the opposite of staying in which is why i won't do it so i'm going to definitively prove that it's possible to lead a full and moderately healthy life without exiting the front door and i shall do this with the kindly aid of gadgets i'll obviously never lack for audio visual immersion in my bedroom alone i have a samsung uhd curved tv for a more wrappy around e viewing experience and for when i need to project television or video games directly onto my retina i can flip down the visor of my heka sweet avagant glyph it does this using a combination of special optics and millions of tiny mirrors giving the impression of watching an 80 inch screen from eight feet away as for sweet music the joint is jumping with it courtesy of these a watts streamlight wi-fi bulbs the light bulbs have built-in speakers i can stream music to them over wi-fi to create an around-the-house music experience by just using lamps if i decide that piping music from the light sockets isn't giving me the intensity i crave i can board the ove pod designed to create a private space to work or relax in busy environments the pod allows me to focus on what matters although i'm being comprehensively entertained i am feeling the occasional stab of us a loneliness though tempted to counter this with a pet i am allergic to nearly all life forms and so i must once more turn to non-organic gadgets like pleo the dinosaur pleo has over 100 gears 14 motors touch and movement sensors it can even hear and respond to sounds and i can now replace my real seal with this seal developed at a cost of over 8 million pounds paro is a japanese robotic companion who has been shown in clinical trials to reduce stress depression and anxiety among the elderly such as myself zuma is a robot dog with sensors in its chest to detect motion objects and touch its many tricks include following its owner and even urinating on command okay zoom is in trouble not for the first time in my life i've had to accept that i'm not dr doolittle a lack i cannot talk to animals if i want conversation i'm going to have to interact with actual people but how do i get actual people to come to me rather than me having to go out to those actual people i've literally just had a notion that i wish to share with my technical support staff yeah it's me here's the thing i want to stay in but i want elements of going out are you some form of human interaction yeah i guess you could call that a party but it can't end up feeling like i'm out otherwise i'll have to go out do not fail me okay all the best while my technical support staff spring into action i'm on my way to test an array of gadgets that claim to deliver the benefits of outdoor life without the need to go outside to this end i've come to comic-con at london's excel center where i'm meeting comedian sean walsh hi sean how are you hello comic-con is the uk's largest comic book and sci-fi convention a mecca for people who are constantly being told that getting out is something they should perhaps sometimes consider with its crowds heat and public toilets it also typifies all that i hate about leaving the house let's systematically test gadgets welcome to real flight 7 presumably they have been six before they've finally nailed it with realflight 7. yeah it's an rc flight simulator you can be inside pretending to be outside flying a remote control plane engage the thrust let's go slowly yeah we go here we go hello hold up pull up pull up ah just reset it right okay right let's go ah yes oh baby that's right oh that's a shame that's a crying shame after publicly failing to master virtual remote control flight i thought that sean might have some aggression issues to deal with look at this this is a bow blade a gadget which i have to declare as officially creepy okay because it's got a little screen on it which has an overlay of the world that you pull the thing back and shoot them like that it's not great for the tube though is it you know that angry birds is more for the children this will not endear you to fellow passengers going around like this i mean it's such a hostile game not targeted that's a snow yeti from star wars episode 5 that's an out of work access content that we've killed everything there is to kill i wanted to show sean that even the most outdoor of pursuits can be pursued indoors an indoor climbing wall you don't need to stop rock climbing just because you're inside just hop on right and i will responsibly flick this switch down to a reasonable setting okay right depending on your aptitude come on mount up right mountain this is two two is not good television i'm gonna put you on three this bit though three come on it goes up to nine all right i'm gonna this is i'm sorry no i'm already sweating really that's pathetic i'm gonna go on helmetless okay one two remember we're free yeah you're a man four you're a tiger come on be careful we're going to fight but you can handle it you're a beast i know get up there look at that yeah and then a dismount that was very natural come on tell me just honestly you've got one i've never been on the tread wall before let's go right let's do it with sean still sweating like warm mackerel i thought i'd treat him to a holiday staying in style the oculus rift allows the wearer to move around a virtual world without the shoe leather how does it feel well i don't feel seasick which i'm surprised about right i thought i'd be wanting to vomit right now yeah i feel like i've left everything behind me and decided to start a new life it's quite it's not it's not refreshing it's depressing right are you still there have you gone he's he's gone as i'm on my own on a boat in the sea and i'm getting really paranoid despite a mild mental episode for sean these gadgets have been a triumphant success however keeping fit and entertained at home is the easy part being inside is all very well and good but how am i going to pay for my existence i'm going to have to work to hustle up the benjamins which might mean going outside which would defeat the entire objects i'm gonna have to turn to gadgets to solve this most dire of pickles but i won't be alone my public panel entirely accurately represents the full sweep of the nation furthermore in the past and present they've almost all held down jobs for months at a time apart from her [Music] we're going to test gadgets for the stay-at-home worker you may now leave and test the gadgets yes first up are the retiree and skilled manual labourer ironically the two people least likely to work from home this is called a true grip because you get hold of it you type from the back it's kind of like a keyboard on the back as you press the relevant button it shows up on the front i'm a bit hard push really to see the point i have the levolte laptop table there's a fan in the bottom to keep my legs warm and my laptop cool but while three of my panel are hard at toil testing gadgets i can't find the city professional so the student and i put in a video call what have you been doing today have you been testing as agreed i have indeed we just wanted to make sure that you weren't doing anything else what did you think of my suit see why do you mention your suit because it shows that i'm working hard right he's just joshing in a good natured manner that suit is in fact a set of suit jamas comfortable gym jams disguised as a business suit the perfect prop for skiving off even if you are booked in for an important video conference call and should be taking it more seriously i think something stinks i think he's put himself offline after a frank and non-combative dialogue the panel have chosen the nation's favorite without any doubt it would be the suit jamas yes a gadget i can fully put every ounce of my personal being into coming up david mitchell helps me test the latest in home gaming you're into 90 miles an hour i like it whilst my technical support staff helped me both throw and simultaneously avoid my own gadget house party look at me there i'm clearly uncomfortable i'm on a non-denominational crusade to prove that with the help of gadgets it's possible to lead a healthy and happy life without inserting so much as a digit outside but with heavy heart i vaguely accepted the human need for society so i'm staging a soiree my technical support staff are hacking away to make sure i can host this event whilst avoiding the burden it traditionally entails making the house look boss serving refreshments and asking people to split once they've outstayed their limited welcome the only problem is sourcing guests willing to spend time with me despite my fun-loving persona i'm not that much of the people person and disgraced as it is i may need gadgets to attract companions waiting in my gadget garage is a man who's casually consented to help me assess a gamut of gaming tech that might make folk flock to my soiree despite his rep david mitchell is far from a party animal if i can find gadgets that will persuade him to spend time with me i'll be on the fast lane to easy street hello david mitchell hello richard how are you very good i've resolved to never go out ever again right which i just broke by coming into this building which is sort of an annex right so you can still get from building to annex yes as the agrophobia yes held you in but no more i'm trying to entice you to stay here via games do you want to have a look at this this table yes click yes i'm just admiring it the strike worth table it's a pool table as i can see flip it ah wow an instant air hockey zone give it a whack oh yeah oh look at that we came into human contact i don't know if that's a lot you like ice hockey now you've won as expected david it's not nearly my equal but next i have a game in which we can join forces against technology now david this is the foosbot as in foosball yes yeah based i think loosely on the german for football oh really it's an americanism via germany if you can think of anything more evil oh my goodness it's a computerized table football game so we play against the computer we play against computer now it's reacting faster than we can think but the servos are slower than the computer i see oh well one nil to humanity i have to say you're pretty good at this i much prefer the table variety to the much over-hyped field ball after thoroughly trouncing technology on the foosball field i felt confident david was ready to bring the noise in a war zone the computer is actually it's in the desk and it's been souped up it's running at such velocity and such power that it needs the liquid coolant just to stop it exploding from pride it's especially cold especially cool to be especially cool the definition of this is so clear it's as good as being outside can we turn the sound up yeah and i'll be able to hear the cries of my prey ah there we go and there's the oh hello oh i didn't know you things went black and white when you were nearly dead yeah how do they know that well i think they've just taken this direct from savings right randomly that building yeah that's gonna bring down property values i think what's good for young people to learn is that sprees of unimaginable violence are totally consequence-free oh dear oh there we go shoot that i don't care what side you're on this is a very stressful oh i don't know ah it's gone black and white ah the realism is breathtaking but i can offer you even greater realism over there even more real than running around with a gun even more real than that let's go can i introduce you to the visaro evolve extreme pro indeed you may it has triple oled screens you can sit in it will shake around it's a simulator it's like being in a car but inside well i can't actually drive a car in real life but um so in a way this is better than real life well exactly yeah yeah here we go and then bring it around slowly are you very good oh my god over steering classic error in formula one i hope there's not going to be suddenly a corner oh all right there we go goodness me you're past the legal speed limit now you're into 90 miles an hour i like it oh damn i'm gonna change down a little bit slow down i don't like oh gosh you're in gear i don't like it i'm parked now and i think this is a lovely spot for a picnic yes okay there we go well i've only recently passed my test well you're ahead of me i'm going to floor it okay that's a good noise oh hello look at this oh there you've done that now oh i imagine that kind of crash in real life would have felt even worse than that yes too much damage we've got to fix it okay all right shane well that's a shame yeah david thank you very much you have been invaluable i could not have done this without you or someone in a similar vein to you thank you and i think i was one of the first five or six choices you literally were in the top dozen but the thing is i'm actually having a soiree tonight and i was wondering whether you might want to join us no thanks i'm sorry i'm i've got a new hair washing simulator at home i want to try i'm going to stay in you go to heck you go to heck in the handbasket david mitchell in a hand basket i barely have time to brood on david mitchell's savage snubbing before word of my gadget heavy evening spreads like wildfire before you can say boo to a goose up to a dozen actual people have amassed at the gadget house and the evening is an astonishing [Music] achievement the tunes are particularly massive with the beams you can pick up or drop beats by moving your hands through four laser beams [Music] given my antipathy to chitty chat i thought it best to provide alcohol as a social lubricant the robar is a smartphone controlled robotic drinks maker do you know how it works um you're just spilling it sadly my guests are not robots you need to work out how these things work should have asked if you prefer wheaty beer simply slip on a brainweight measuring neurosky headset and concentrate on the beer icon for a hands-free pour [Music] and there's yet more beverage related technology the v-tex compact can call a cam from room temp to 5 degrees in just 45 secs who are you with this party were you directly invited probably no you won't not directly and here are some snaps to soak up the alcohol witness the snack man a motion sensor releases a measured portion of treats from its sealed dome a lack this system is still open to abuse hi hello have you been dispensing sweeps because you're doing it in quite a disrespectful way they're strewn about the place ideally you'd be doing that with a cup to make sure you can catch it all [Music] my guests are behaving like a pack of wild feral animals my plan has backfired my night in is starting to feel very much like a gruesome night out you find me a victim of my own success the soiree is a banging hit people have no intention of vacating in fact i heard this cat say that he may be here till nine i'm about to have a panic attack i need to pull the rip cord luckily i have a get out hello hello party types all of you hello revellers what you are watching now is a hologram transmitted from my personal panic room my technical support staff has installed a musion eyeline system yours to hire for a mere 40k a pop i'm filming myself on a camera and then the images are beamed via a projector onto a bounce screen on the floor this image is reflected on a foil screen on the stage which is angled at 45 degrees and is invisible to the naked eye thus giving the impression of a 3d holographic image this is the technology that permitted tupac and frank sinatra to appear at concerts long after their deaths and allows me to be at my party without the gruesome reality of being there in the future we will all face time in giant 3d do accept my apologies but i simply couldn't stand your company one moment longer don't take this personally thank you all for your attendance please be sure to be out of the door by nine at the latest and don't take anything that doesn't belong to you my security staff are prone to unmotivated bursts of savagery all the best for your future endeavors thanks to technology i'm once again free to enjoy my gadgets as science would wish at home on my todd i started this wild ride by asking if it were possible to stay in yet lead a full and satisfying life well the answer is yup i have proved that with the aid of gadgets i can be entertained keep pets remain in peak physical condition and crucially avoid house guests it's been another glorious night in a lifelong tale of triumph [Music]
