Each week, the show previews and reviews the latest gadgets, and broadcasts the latest technology news. The show is aimed at giving the mass consumer an insight into the gadget world and in addition, it aims to give enough information for the more "geeky" audience, but still making it accessible to the more casual viewer. The show has featured Blu-ray Discs, video cameras, MP3 players and other technologies. A segment showing viewers how to get the most out of their technology is also included along with a competition to win anything from £5,000 to £20,000 worth of new gadgets. Each series usually contains a special episode focusing on a particular technology conference or expo. Past conferences include CeBIT and The Next Fest.
Series 5 saw a slight tweak in the format, with the three presenters hosting from a studio base, although a lot of the show still takes place outside of the studio. A recurring theme in the updated format is a regular challenge between Jason and Suzi (and occasionally Jon and Dallas), typically set around a particular gadget and their testing or use based around it. Another addition is that now the week's main featured gadget(s), typically reviewed by Jon, is given a 'G rating' from one to five. The seventh series, starting on 29 October 2007, saw the running increased to one hour. From series 8, the studio was been given a major makeover, consisting of a cool blue theme with a giant touchscreen PC monitor. There is now also a new "Top 5" feature which consists of the Top 5 gadgets in a certain category.
A new series of The Gadget Show (Series 11) will begin on Monday 9 March 2009 at 8:00pm.
