There's nothing quite like the sound of Terry Wogan whispering sweet top o' the mornings in your inner ear early on a wet Wednesday in November. Nothing quite like it at all. The difficulty with Tel is, of course, that he's not the best at getting one up after - what's the word for it - a heavy session.

We have scoured the globe for an answer to the seductive warmth of the duvet and the Irishman's blarney-laden charms. Something with a klaxon-like intensity. Something akin to a foghorn blast. Something that requires industrial strength ear defenders just to be around. Something with a Vanilla Ice irritation factor - but far, far worse.

Have we found it? Yes we have. Wake up with a bang with this highly-alarming (groan) alarm clock. Essential wear for waking one up when a bit of an extra boost may be needed. Heavy sleeper? You'll be no match for the Dynamite Alarm Clock - try it, we dare ya.

However we most certainly don't condone leaving it in the mother-in-law's bedroom to send her into a blind panic (amusing though that thought may be). Nor do we recommend it for use when travelling!

With a useful snooze function, backlight and easy-read display, it's a great bedroom alarm clock in its own right as well as being, as the youth of today might put it, da bomb. Precisely.
