RC Coverage on Ch4 Gadget Extravaganza

[TWINSET 1793]

For THE absolute saddest TV coverage of RC ever; http://www.channel4.com/programmes/stephen...ets/4od#3225633

Skip forward to 15:09 for the Gadget Show moron in the flat cap chasing a VLB around a studio like a demented dog - truly sad.

And, from a 'T4 Presenter'

the genius of the remote control

car lies in the fact that all mainly blokes,

some ladies, like the idea of driving a car,

at speed and just smashing it into a wall

[B.M.T. 127]

There was this segment on Simon Townsend's Wonder World in the 80's, featuring Ray Wood of Ray Wood video's fame.

At least that looks like it was aimed more at kids!

This was on relatively late in the evening, so intended for an adult audience, but the whole thing was just awful

I lost interest after "remote control car".

[TWINSET 1793]

Yes, that was one of many low points - beating a kitten to death with a Holiday Buggy would be the only way I can think of to make that little segment worse.

I got really excited when the segment opened with some period footage of a SS jumping in some sand but it went downhill so quickly...
