I was watching Target Earth the other night and split my sides at the HORROFIC final scenes when the Venusian robot attacks the lead players. Everyone simply MUST see this film. It is so bad it is hilarious. The robot came straight out of the Blue Peter studio or even made by Archie (the pink house) from Ballamory. That and the thread on Day the Earth Stood Still set me thinking to robots and how some are scene stealers. Of course Gort is one but the best one has to be Robby from Forbidden Planet by the number of copies and toys produced.
Then there is Woody Allen's 'robot' in The Sleeper.
I struggle to think of a British one except if Daleks are counted.

While Gort - Lock Martin - stood 7'7" tall, Ed Wolff as the robot in The Phantom Creeps 1939 stood 7"4".

I think this qualifies as a British one: Mother Riley Meets the Vampire, 1952.
I've never seen any of Arthur Lucan's work but going by what I have read, it sounds like he was a really funny comic actor.

I was thinking of those who were given star status (toy reproductions) or personalities. The Paranoid Android comes to mind and the not very high tech Data for examples.

Used to love that show. Didn't KT keep leaving bits of himself on buses?
Anyone got some episodes?
