Data emisji: Wrz 13, 2010

A 'Gadget Show' football special to celebrate the start of the Uefa Europa League. Pollyanna kicks off with a report on the Robocup - the most extraordinary football contest in the world. Competing against each other are fully autonomous robots, operating entirely without human control. Will the automatons have the footballing skills to pay the bills? Since the outcry over England's disallowed goal in the World Cup, goal-line technology has become a hot topic. Ortis gets together with former international referee Graham Poll to see if it is possible to remove the man with the whistle and run a game refereed entirely by technology. Meanwhile, Pollyanna takes aim at Jason in a series of gadget football games, as the pair choose their top five ways to play off-the-pitch soccer. Elsewhere, Jon is joined by renowned football commentator Alan Parry to select the best high-definition projectors available on the market. And Suzi indulges in some of the most expensive gizmos on the planet to choose the top five gadgets only a footballer's wife could afford.
