Jason Bradbury (born 10 April 1969) is an English television presenter and children's author, best known for presenting shows such as the Channel 5 technology programme The Gadget Show and the BBC One game show Don't Scare the Hare. In 2016, Bradbury presented several rounds of the Tour Series cycling competition for ITV4.
His first book, Dot Robot, was published on 5 February 2009 and his second novel in the Dot Robot series of techno-thrillers, Atomic Swarm, was published on 1 February 2010. The third book, Cyber Gold was published on 7 April 2011.
He is on the judging panels for the BAFTA Video Games Awards and the Media Guardian Innovation Awards.
Bradbury's first ever television show was a cable show called Tellywest, where he worked alongside Sacha Baron Cohen. He has also hosted shows on Bravo (UK TV channel) including Mercenaries in 2001/2002 (later repeated on the Virgin Channel some years later), and also on Trouble TV including T Spot, Trouble @ Breakfast, Jason On Your Doorstop and Trouble Radio.
On The Gadget Show, Bradbury regularly visits universities, laboratories and research and development departments to see future science and technology. He is known for his exotic DIY gadget builds, which have included a DIY hoverboard, the world's first 'phone glove', a Head-Up Display for his girlfriend's car, and a "mind-reading" device made from a modified mouse that (crudely) controlled a computer. He also built his own hovercraft using only a car wheel and an industrial sized fan. On one of the gadget show episodes Suzi Perry tries to rid him of his "addiction" to Apple products but fails when it comes to his Macbook.
