I met Stephen Moore at the Memorabilia and MCM event in Birmingham a couple of weeks ago. For me he will always be THE voice of Marvin and I still don;t get why they use Alan Rickman in the movie, but then again the movie wasn't as good as the TV show or the Radio shows, so I guess it's appropriate.
As you'd expect, Stephen Moore is a very genuinely nice bloke and only to happy to humour an old fan of Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy for a few minutes.

Kryten by Roger Langridge
Kryten is my favourite character in Red Dwarf (no surprise there) and is the one who changes the most as the series progress. Second to Marvin, the paranoid android of Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, Kryten provides a great comedy double act to each of the other characters, but in different ways. Always put upon by Rimmer, largely ignored by the Cat and taken under the wing of Lister, Kryten is your robot without a cause. A robot who is happy to fulfil his programming despite Lister's attempts to get him to rebel and take more control of his existence.
There are some great lines delivered by Kryten throughout the series and his look is how Marvin appeared in my head when I first read Douglas Adams's Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy. Simple design but effective.
Roger Langridge has been a regular of the UK Comic convention scene for many a year and now enjoys success as writer artist of Snarked! and is always popping up in the Muppets comics. Roger is always happy to produce a great little convention sketch.
