Fathers are strange creatures: at once loving, compassionate and protective\u2026 although, perhaps the thing they are most protective over is the remote control. This fiercely possessive relationship can survive the most difficult of television-watching circumstances: many fathers, upon having the device removed from their grasp will claim that they were in fact \u2018still watching that\u2019, despite the physical appearance of being in a deep slumber.<\/p>\n

We here at Madman understand the passionate love a father can have with his televisual programming, so we\u2019ve put together a list of Father’s Day buys guaranteed to keep Dad alert, active, entertained…and therefore able to hold on to the remote control.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
