THE GADGET SHOW 8pm, Channel 5
GEEKS 8pm, E4
Four male brass-band members from York visit the Greek party paradise of Malia with a quartet of costume-play fanatics based in Basildon, Essex. Under the guidance of MC Reckless, the geeky group tries to embrace the unfamiliar culture – despite the fact that they would all prefer a quiet night in.
The team celebrates the 250th episode by attempting to set two world records, and Jon Bentley takes a look at the advances that have been made since the series first aired back in 2004 .
