Episode 3 - Budget, Mobile Gaming & Flasks

Monday 23 March

If you’re anything like us you’ve got more old gadgets stashed in your home than an old Woolworth’s depo. Well, in this week’s challenge we’ve decided to get Suzi and Jon to sift through all their old gadgets and then sell them via various means. The next part of the challenge involves using the proceeds to buy the best TV and laptop their profits will allow. The winner will be the one with the best kit.

Ortis, meanwhile, gets challenged by none other than Vic Reeves, to realise his design for, yes, a remote-controlled trolley (don’t ask!).

And so, to the top five. And Jon decides to brave the cold to test the abilities of five of the latest flasks! Oh yes. We’ve got shock-proof flasks, flasks that’ll keep your soup warm for 24 hours, and flasks with double mugs. But which of these flasks is up to our tasks?

Next up, Jason puts the latest handheld gaming devices through their paces. From the latest incarnations of the Nintendo DSi (it’s got dual cameras don’t you know) Sony PSP-3000, to the iPod Touch. But which gets our Jason all in a tither when he’s out and about?
