On: It will take a 'baby elephant' to knock over this bike [video]

Off topic rant, the BBC's Click strand drives me up the wall on occasions that I see any of it. We used to have the wonderful (if haphazard) Tomorrows World as primetime science viewing and now we're left with Click which is broadcast in a time slot for the terminally stoned and apparently produced by ex '... for dummies' editors. And don't get me started on the abysmal Gadget Show.

What exactly is wrong with Click? Each programme is broadcast several times over the weekend, so there are plenty of opportunities to catch it.

I like that the presenters don't take technology too seriously - it's refreshing. And for the intended audience, the format is well balanced between 'dumbed down' and informative. I wouldn't expect anything more geeky, from Click or Tomorrow's World (which I remember well).

I think you're viewing Tomorrow's World via rose tinted glasses. I loved it as a kid but if you watch an old episode now you're guaranteed to cringe.

I'm sure I am, but unless I'm remembering it very badly they didn't have quite the same 'OMG Science!' presentation.

The bit about the gyros in the Click video is awful. I was expecting her to use the word boffin at any moment.

I was expecting (hoping) to see a baby elephant :)

There's a BBC radio show (which is also now available as a podcast) called The Joy of Tech, which is quite alright (and way better than Click, IMHO) - http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/jot

Cheers, I'll give that a listen. I ought to stray from Radio4 and 6music a little more often.
