Watching the astronaut thing... basically it's The Krypton Factor, isn't it?

Where are all the world changing gadgets which were promised in the previous versions of Tomorrow's Word?!?!

Ugh..
Can't stand that show, anymore.

The first couple of years, it was great.
"I've made this, I can't afford to manufacture it, I need help"
Then, a few years in, it became blindingly obvious that the show had become...
"I've made this, built a company, am doing really well. Now I just want to publicise myself on the BBC"

And, really, that's all the fucking thing is, nowadays.

Haven't watched it in a few years now - all seemed to be people who've invented some shit even JML wouldn't sell and valuing themselves at £27 bazillion on the back of it.

Put some music in my food for me, and give me some Reggae Reggae Sauce. Hot Reggae Reggae Sauce.

Aaah, Levi Roots.
When my sister was at Uni, she would regularly walk past him in the subway, playing his CHOONS and selling his original sauce!
She was ever so excited when he popped up on telly.

...

Now try to name something from the last 7/8 series!!!

Erm... the last thing I remember (which really sets the tone), is a his/hers bed sheet, which is just a normal sheet with a line down the middle so each party knows which bit is theirs.

I enjoyed it for years, watching until Theo left and Madame De'shoulderpads arrived. Haven't really watched much of it since. It wasn't that I didn't like the new presenters; it just started being a willy waving contest of one-upmanship and who could get the most percentage out of the inventors/innovators for the least amount of money, all the while taking the piss out of them. Yeah, sure, most deserved that, but not all of them.

I'm glad that many of the unsuccessful entries have found success in the real world without the dragons.
