But then all they have to do is see the bbc original and they will
just how bad the new one is. About the only new character that was
any good was the new Marvin who was voiced by Alan Rickman. Still not
as paranoid or depressed as the old Marvin (saw him muggin in the cue)
might just have been that sound level for him verses the old was so low?
Now waiting to see how bad they hack up Red Dwarf assuming they ever
shoot the thing.
