Red Dwarf star Craig Charles named The Gadget Show’s new host

Taking over the reins from Jason Bradbury, who recently announced his departure from the show after 12 years, actor Charles will be joined by tech journalist Georgie Barrat and Gadget Show regulars Jon Bentley and Ortis Deley in the newly revamped Channel 5 programme. Charles, 52, admitted to being “more of an enthusiast than an expert” when it comes to technology but that he hopes he will be able to make the programme accessible for viewers.
