I dont have any answers for this one - its a pic I found online years ago & nabbed. So there are no rights & wrongs - just a bit of fun to see what we can identify.

I think to begin with I will allow TWO answers per person per day

Wall-e.jpg

Now as some of these are a bit obscure it might be a good idea if we name the robot & the film / tv programme it starred inAND roughly where in the pic it can be found.


My day 1 answers


Marvin the paranoid android - HHGTTG, extreme left lower centre
Krtyen - Red Dwarf - upper middle left

Very similar designed robots have been used in many movies and tv series, e.g. 'The Twilight Zone'. There's a lengthy entry on Wiki about Robbie (or Robby). Showing my age but I believe I saw 'Forbidden Planet' at the movies. The basic plot for the movie was taken from Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'

Why waste a good robot. Just needed oiling occasionally.

Yup, saw that too at the flicks. Allusions to 'The Tempest' passed me by at the time though :confused
