Inspector Gadget

Ah, the age old dilemma – which fictional film gadget would you most like to possess. Here at Boxwish HQ we’ve long since chewed the fat on that thorny issue. Do you go sci-fi chic or maybe more fantasy-led in an “I wanna hang out with Gandalf” kinda way? And what are the criteria? Do you consider what would make your day-to-day life easier and opt for something practical or choose a more outlandish route and settle on something weird but wonderful? And should it be something that science bods have a hope of inventing or something that bends all the rules and blows raspberries in the face of logic? As you can tell, we’ve done our homework on this conundrum, and so with us stuck in stalemate we’re thrilled to see that LG has conducted a survey and found the UK public’s top pick – the remote control from Click.

A last gasp like Josie and the Pussycats was understandable, but it's kept on going, and it doesn't get any better. Most of them are a Bewitched level of quality that makes Miami Vice seem like Chinatown.
But Hollywood is just going to keep on trying, and the latest to get the makeover treatment is Father Knows Best.
