This Finger Dance Alarm Clock is guaranteed to drive you nutz with a capital aaargh. When the alarm goes off…you’re way ahead of me aren’t you?…yep, you’ve got to do a little finger dance, copying the light show, to switch it off. You can picture the scene, eh? Fingers dancing, clock shrieking, fist smashing. Ahh the beauty of another day. £9.99.

 If you love electronic dance mat games – the ones where you have to follow the onscreen pattern by dancing on different coloured lights – this alarm clock is a great way to get you out of bed as it incorporates a mini finger dance pad. When the alarm sounds, it can’t be turned off unless you do a little dance with your fingers to follow the sequence shown by the lights, just like on a full sized dance game.
