Dave has announced an exclusive 10-part tech series starring comedian Marcus Brigstocke and his best friend, actor and presenter Alexis Conran.

The Joy of Techs will see technophobe Marcus and gadget-obsessed Alexis (Hustle, The Real Hustle) travel the UK completing challenges and activities, taking both old-fashioned and technologically-advanced approaches. Alexis tries to convince Marcus tech is the way forward, while Marcus will do everything to prove the original way is best.

One episode sees the pair go low and high-tech camping, and UKTV bosses have revealed we will also see solar powered cars and flying bikes on the show.

Brigstocke said, “Even if we needed half the so called 'life-hack' crap they produce - most of it is so complicated it rarely works.

“In the Joy of Techs I will take great pleasure in demonstrating to Alexis that it's a waste of time and money.

“I'll tell you a good bit of tech - the zip. That works.”

Conran said: “I’m not worried about our friendship suffering on this show, as we can both be stubborn and argumentative, but I do worry about killing ourselves trying to prove our point!”

The Joy of Techs will be produced by Blink Films and will air in 2017.
