Ok - there seems to be a little confusion as to who this Paranoid Android character is ...
The original Paranoid Android was from a radio play on the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) first broadcast on the 8th March 1978
The play was called "THE HITCH-HIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY," written by Douglas Adams; and the
Paranoid Android, called Marvin, was played by Stephen Moore, who sings the song Marvin. After the radio play came the first novel, in which
(in the words of Douglas Adams) "some of the characters behaved in entirely different ways, and others acted in the same ways, but for
entirely different reasons.... " A second set of radio plays and 4 more books (a 'trilogy' in 5 parts) and a TV series all came along -
and all contradicted each other in the most delightful way ... so if you want the WHOLE truth .. you'll have to listen, read, and watch the lot!!
There is also rumour of a film!
This has absolutely nothing to do with Radiohead. I'm Glad I got that cleared up.
All Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy references here are quotes. I did not write any of it. All
pictures and quotes on these pages are probably copywrited. I'd like to thank the owners of those copywrites for their permission
to reproduce them, should I ever get it!.
