Actors, comedians, inventors and experts join the fun to celebrate gadgets we simply couldn't live without. They share memories of the difference these gizmos have made to their lives.Fry has selected his 100 favourites - the ones he finds most attractive and clever, and his fellow guests both agree and disagree with his choices. He shows how these ingenious little devices have made a world of difference to great and small events in time.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Produced by Alex Armstead and Kevin Hylands; series producer Sophie Deveson for A1/3 Media International |
