Funny that they've recreated the original opening titles from the first series. I doubt many people will understand the reference - I only know because they uploaded all the early series to YouTube a few years ago.
I always found the axing of the original format (and 3 of the 5 presenters) in 2012 baffling - the show was actually quite popular by that point and had a live show at the NEC. I don't suppose the change in ownership of Channel 5 had anything to do with it?
I would drift in and out of watching the programme though. When it got to the point where I was fast forwarding most of the programme, that was when it was time to drop the series link.
Anyone remember that weird "Five FWD" website that existed only for The Gadget Show and Fifth Gear, and every other show just had a page on the normal Five website?
