The Joy of Techs
Alexis Conran & Marcus Brigstocke put all manner of hi- and lo- tech gadgets to the test in their own inimitable way. Every episode takes on a different element of a modern man's life as gadget geek Alexis attempts to persuade the more ‘traditional' Marcus that technology is always best. There's non-stop back and forth as the boys battle it out to prove one of them is right in a series of scenarios, from lazy Sundays to winter sports.
