"The original Marvin robot that was used in the TV series, we managed to
track down at the BBC studios. It was all in pieces, like this
dismembered body. It was really grim. And they got him out and polished
him up and made all his lights work and everything, and it was great. We
put him on set in the queuing group, where Arthur [Martin Freeman] is
queuing up to save Trillian [Zooey Deschanel]. He's just in there,
volunteering up, and Arthur looks at him.

Indeed - I'm not sure which bit makes me happiest, the fact that the
original Marvin still exists and wasn't binned, the fact that someone
took the time to restore him to pristine condition, or the fact that
someone gave him a cameo. I think this is a perfect example of how much
dedication to H2G2 the people involved in the film really have.
