In case anyone is wondering, this final series of Gadget Man was shown in 2015. The ‘sci fi film’ they were talking about was The Force Awakens and the guy made and operated BB8. I can’t see that Mantis having any use ever though. 1 mph and 2 gallons of fuel for each of those miles? No thanks!
I swear 30 min later it's going to run out of fuel, Richard's going to have to get out, and Bill will still be stood in the same spot just a short distance behind him 🤣
@@anouarkrassimovich7481 it will not. too much weight going everywhere. if you speed it up it willl shake you to bits.also need bigger motor and more fuel you see?
Anyone else thinking....i've watched WW2 footage that shows everybody with a gas mask, even kids going to school had one, yet now - after this was filmed we are in a situation where it's up to you if you wear a mask, where is the leadership now?? Attitude reflects leadership....how are we meant to act responsibly when those in charge don't and prosper from it??
I expected milkshake, I got pasta water. That's all I mean, it's just a shock to the taste buds lol. Like going for area and getting soda up your straw instead.
So to recap, we had what was bassiclaly a folder that you can wear as a hat, a blow up bed, a onesie/sleeping bag. A very expensive tourch, gps tracker and something that you can neither buy nor would be very useful in an apocalypse that being the big slow ass spider....nice
So, wait.. you need to have a Bluetooth connection with that app? so this can only be used in a situation, where you're close to each other but can't talk? or there's a thick wall between you, but not too thick that the connection doesn't get thru? There's like only a handful of situations where this would actually be a help right?
Lol 1 mph fuel guzzling mecha spider is so cool but so unpractical. Love it. Yeah a water collecting or reclaimation system, self defense tools, or a self sustaining underground veggie garden would probably be more useful. But... robo spider! XD
Thst soylent must be some old, vitamin k predates when they standardize and split vitmans from minerals for example potassium as a mineral today, used to be vitiman p
Due to a bit of background noise, I came into this hearing: "I'll want an arsehole" *pregnant pause* Me: What? "...of gadge" Ah, that second part of the sentence cleared things right up then. Carry on.
The catch is that if you aren't ready to survive before the apocalypse happens, then your chance of running around looting afterwards will be somewhat slimmer.
Can’t believe the agility of bill jumping on that bunk
Honestly gobsmacked at that
Absolutely unprecedentedly astounded
Me: he’ll never make it . He’s gonna fall .
Bill flys up to the top bunk like a springy 🦘 kangaroo
Me: STFU
He's taller, thinner and more bendy than you might think
@@solidgranite8910 I hate you, I came here to post the "field notes" 😁
Bill bailey is a national treasure

The sci-fi film they couldn't mention was Star Wars The Force Awakens. The guy who made the Mantis made and operated BB-8.
I thought the mantis was going to be in the movie. My guess is Dune.
When the IT crew meets the Black books
This was done right on time.
Right I know! Also how do you pronounce your last name? What heritage do you come from? If you don't mind answering friend!
I think he must mind, or he's already hiding in his bunker
2015??
6:02 i love how it suddenly became like an action movie XD
“Back in the 1980s, the last decade to make sense to anyone, …”
Too true.
It would’ve been funny if Bill was there when he got out of the mantis as he was walking beside him all the way
Good to see that Britain is preparing for the post-Brexit world.
Britain could totally make it on its own in a world full of at least 3 nuclear-armed superpowers.
@ASL 72 One more brain cell than you then!
Please don't leave Bill all alone , the world needs him
"gadge" sounds dirty. I feel like that abbreviation should only be used for naughty gadgets.
Most geeks actually mean they want an arsenal of vadge.
everything sounds dirty nowadays. maybe our minds are dirtier.
"Gadge" is Glaswegian for "bloke" or "dude"
@@andybeans5790 And Glaswegians are normally such nicely spoken people. they'd never use any rude words.
This is a great episode! Good story telling. I love the shot of the Mantis at sunset.
This flare could save your life allow us to play some banging music over Richard as he explains it. Three attempts to hear him say 3 nautical miles.
6:40 - bruv - that looks like the giant spider from Wild Wild West 😂😂😂
Lol 0:16 last decade to make sense to anyone, my sweet summer child.
-Soylent, Bill! -My ears are ringing a really loud alarm bell.
Soylent: Once you try it you are overwhelmed with a sense of calm that death doesn't look so bad after all
Who else thinks Richard should be the 14th Doctor in Doctor Who?
I was kinda hoping they'd get Kevin Bridges in for a season
Oh the relevance!
The mantis looks like it could barely survive a flood let alone a nuclear blast.
Yeah... an all terrain vehicle that couldn't get out of a field because it wouldn't fit through the gateway.
@@Milamberinx all terrain my ass..Those legs would get caught on everything lol
‘Leave the futon behind - it’s a rental.” 🤣
I almost died at "how are we going to communicate?!"..... "...talk...?"
John Deere laughs at your spiderbot as their forest harvester was walking since 1996.
Bill is right imagine a replicator getting this big
If you’ve been outside for more than 2 hours, it’s likely you’ll want a nap.
MEEE
That Mantis was really impressive until it started up
I swear 30 min later it's going to run out of fuel, Richard's going to have to get out, and Bill will still be stood in the same spot just a short distance behind him 🤣
Nah, Bill will have arrived at the destination 20 minutes before that on foot.
it's a start, who knows how much better it will be in a few years! i would love to see that Mantis evolve.
@@anouarkrassimovich7481 it will not. too much weight going everywhere. if you speed it up it willl shake you to bits.also need bigger motor and more fuel you see?
The Diesel engine from 1897 made my day
3:27 - at least the satalights will still be working 😂😂
two of my favorite people in one of my favorite types of places
Love the show 😎
Richard Ayoade could read a garbage compactor manual and it would be funny.
“Not only can you reshoot any Beastie Boys video you want...”
I feel like 3 days supply of Soylent = 3 days of diarrhea
More like constipation. Not much fiber in that shit.
Expected Bill to say of the Soylent drink “it tastes like people”
"It's people!" (for those old enough to remember).
Richard is 🔥
I love Richard
Bottom time is my new favourite terminology
wow I love Richard in LOZ:BOTW
UA-cam algorithm strikes gold!
Anyone else thinking....i've watched WW2 footage that shows everybody with a gas mask, even kids going to school had one, yet now - after this was filmed we are in a situation where it's up to you if you wear a mask, where is the leadership now?? Attitude reflects leadership....how are we meant to act responsibly when those in charge don't and prosper from it??
Be sure to bring your copy of Ayoade On Top to read in the bunker
It suggested we live under the stairs, eat tinned food and do bottom time in a bucket.
I will be calling it bottom time from this day forth
...what else would you call it?
This video seems tailored to my escape pod design.
I hope that sci-fi film is Dune
That was my thoughts too.
Soylent is inappropriately salty for a white beverage. Just saying.
ITS PEOPLE!!!!1!!
It can be salty all it likes; it's using it's white privilege.
Someone's always gotta make it about race, dont they
I'll remember to grab some food colouring then
I expected milkshake, I got pasta water. That's all I mean, it's just a shock to the taste buds lol. Like going for area and getting soda up your straw instead.
Is that the same bunker from the video game The Bunker?
That Soylent is GREEN!!!
Firechat - “Error. A server with the specified hostname could not be found”.
WOW that mantis is impractical lol. All terrain, except no way it makes through a forest lol
With the agility of the thing, id be surprised if it can safely clear a rug.
2020 the year of the apocalypse
“Peeeee-ple...! It’s PEOPLE!”
Nathan Duke glad I’m not the only one who came here to make this joke
That bunker looks way different to when I saw it last.
Richard Is actually capable of running! Who knew.
Have you not seen him host the crystal maze?
Gwinnell Heald only in about a min clip of YT. So not really.
@@thelifeandtimesofjames4273 ah fair enough. He runs short stretches quite a bit in Crystal maze
He used to play football. I'm assuming he used to run, then
@@livb6945 didn't know that! I don't know why but the idea of Richard playing football cracks me up. I picture him still wearing a suit.
So to recap, we had what was bassiclaly a folder that you can wear as a hat, a blow up bed, a onesie/sleeping bag. A very expensive tourch, gps tracker and something that you can neither buy nor would be very useful in an apocalypse that being the big slow ass spider....nice
shelter in place is nuke strike language, why is it being used now?
Just in time for Coronavirus
Nice to know Soylent got over that scandal about it making people sick lol I remember hearing a podcast all about it
FireChat doesn’t use your Bluetooth. It uses 4G/3G/2G or Wifi.
So, wait.. you need to have a Bluetooth connection with that app? so this can only be used in a situation, where you're close to each other but can't talk? or there's a thick wall between you, but not too thick that the connection doesn't get thru? There's like only a handful of situations where this would actually be a help right?
"Handful" would be exaggerating the number.
i need the mantis sooooo bad!!!!!
Ive been eating soylent for years now. I was even drinking some when that scene came on. Weirrrrd
6:49. Is the movie wild wild west 2?
When Bill Bailey is on the screen; time slows down a bit. I've only seen him in Black Books! Plus a couple stand-up clips. I need to imdb him!
Follow him on Facebook, his travel and birds content is hilarious.
it sounded just like moss when he said "im on the bottom! im on the bottom!" very funny
Lol 1 mph fuel guzzling mecha spider is so cool but so unpractical. Love it.
Yeah a water collecting or reclaimation system, self defense tools, or a self sustaining underground veggie garden would probably be more useful. But... robo spider! XD
Where can I find that background music for the mantis sequence, please? Anyone?
I'm sure Bill was talking about soylent green. Look up the movie.
Is that a Mantis from Supreme Commander I see?
So, when you're running away from intruders, you're supposed to hold up a torch that makes you more visible?
You've got to find your way to your 1mph escape vehicle somehow
Distracted wondering what their babies would look like
Dunno but they would probably end up inside the Soylent
@@seanp8220 Soylent Green is made of people…
I'm picturing Craig Charles.
Thst soylent must be some old, vitamin k predates when they standardize and split vitmans from minerals for example potassium as a mineral today, used to be vitiman p
is there green soylent?
I have the biggest crush on Richard 🥺😫 its unfair! 🥺😂 hes amazing !
2:48 why is Bill Bailey's default dictionary Polish?! :O
A GPS tracker? Would GPS still work after an apocalypse though?
The music is so loud!
Is this just a weird kind of teleshopping?
I was confused whether this was advertising or not.
It's a tv show that explored gadgets with comedians/actor guests
An arsenal of Vadge eh...
Missed punchline at 4:06
RICHARD: To re-population (cups clink)
WHAT BILL SHOULD HAVE SAID: Wait... us?
Vitamin K is found in green vegetables so its probably the most common vitamin. Thats what it is richard!
Bill "The Bunkerlover" Bailey
He had a show called "Bill Bailey's Bunker".
Yes but will it keep out Covid 19 ? 😕
hey Travel Man, fix your audio! Also that mantis at the end is a dream come true
8:10
mantis & world domination - he is abducted by mantis aliens
I need to know the top speed of that mantis.
It's 0.6mph... but it can be controlled by wifi so when you get bored and decide to walk you can have it meet you at your destination.
@@berkpick It could carry a casualty to a place of safety then.
@@Kowasi Lol, true, I just hope it's not a time sensitive injury.
Most MediMantis patients die on the way to the hospital, some of old age.
What are you gonna do when we come to the crunch?!
Due to a bit of background noise, I came into this hearing:
"I'll want an arsehole"
*pregnant pause* Me: What?
"...of gadge"
Ah, that second part of the sentence cleared things right up then. Carry on.
Forgot the toilet rolls.
The mantis probably consumes a shit metric ton of energy per kilometer.
It said in the vid it gets 0.5 miles per gallon.
Very cool looking machine.
Worse than useless in a survival situation/ any situation.
A mantis is a grasshopper, right? Not a spider..
is this an infomercial kind of show?
Most of the time he takes the piss out of the products so I don't think they are paid for it 😊
@Simon Simon uh,, by that measure there is very little that are commercials then. ;)
- No way
- way
Why is he orange?
The movie that couldn’t be mentioned was Star Wars
That moment when we all prepare for a nuclear war but don't prepare for a pandemic
Also, the Mantis is clearly a spider.
Only if it had 8 legs, which it doesn't. It has 6 legs. Check out the onboard display which tracks where each leg is situated @ 7:53
@@xen0g3n okay... but does it have the bending backwards arms? The Mantis trademark?
Shiz has gone down 😄
All these prices but in reality they'd cost £0 in an apocalypse
The catch is that if you aren't ready to survive before the apocalypse happens, then your chance of running around looting afterwards will be somewhat slimmer.
I wish Bill was my uncle.
"I'm going to want an arsenal of ganj"
"Gadge", as in gadgets. But probably what you said, too.
