h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

How can you mention robots in H2G2 without mention of Marvin?

Also, they may not be in novells, but what about Zen, Orac, The Daleks/Davros etc. (this is a BBC site after all).

Hi dmks22,

you'll find Marvin at A1138547 Androids in SF. Doctor Who is mentioned in the other entries of this project, see the links at the top.

SchrEck Inc.

yes, I eventually found the doctor who bit, but I have to say that the exclusion of Marvin is a MAJOR FOPAR, and the editor should be shot for allowing it to pass.

Err, please don't shoot the Subeditor (me).

This whole thing is a project with links to the other entries at the top of each entry. You could just as well see the project as a really large single entry. As Marvin is dealed with in another entry of the project, he isn't mentioned here. That's it, full stop. What's the reason for mentioning him twice?

BTW, have you seen the title of the entry, 'Computers (!) in SF - ...' and I don't see Marvin being a computer.

I see where we are going, and it makes sense, but technically with a brain so large that it orbits a planet, Marvin must also classify as a computer.

well maybe that's streching it .
