Marvin the paranoid android sings on UK kids' TV

Saturday, January 2, 2010



In the early 1980s, Marvin, the chronically depressed robot from Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, released a couple of novelty singles. It gets weirder: he went on a PR tour that took him through the studios of Blue Peter, the long-running UK kids series. Thus: this clip.

About This Blog

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
