Just heard the sad news that Stephen Moore has died. He WAS Marvin, the Paranoid Android. He was a fine actor in theatre, films and radio and a funny pleasure to work with. His Whale and Petunias monologue will live. 'Wretched, isn't it?' as Marvin would say.

That's the guy I met in '78 for the pilot of HHGG. Glamorous, friendly, absurdly talented. Later, watched him lie naked on the stage of the NT's Lyttleton Theatre, at the start of Hare's 'Plenty.' He was brilliant in the play. And in Clockwise. In the lot. RIP.

When Roy did Hitchhiker, Geoffrey Perkins needed some background speech to go under foreground dialogue. So, as compere, Roy proceeded to riff a sequence of hilarious introductions to groups in the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. So brilliant, so nice, so missed.
Oh woe, oh woe, Roy Hudd has died, and it couldn't feel more like the end of everything. Great comic, great heart, great actor. Here he is as Bud Flanagan in 'We're Doomed', underplaying the role with the most exquisite pathos:
