not really. I suppose the same guy who did the voice last time, it wouldn't matter in terms of age so much cos you wouldn't actually 'see' him on screen would you? You see I can't imagine anyone else as Marvin.

Is that you marty? or is that someone else? cos if its you, you're nickname's dissappeared again.
I don't know about Brian Blessed. I don't know if he has the ability to sound bored enough. Marvin always sounded bored.

No. He didn't sound boring. Marvin has never been boring. He just sounded as if he was feeling bored a lot. That's what I meant.

For Marvin we need someone who hasn't got a very posh voice, but could still 'speak proper'.

NPY

ford prefect

Post 256

Kaz

ford prefect

Post 257

NPY

ford prefect

Post 258

Kaz

Nah.
So, any more suggestions for marvin?


ford prefect

Post 259

NPY

not really

how about john cleese?

no too silly by far.

can you see marvin as bazil fawlty?

Don't think so!

I think John Cleese could do Marvin though, possibly. He's got that 'long suffering' sound to his voice sometimes. Especially as Basil!
