The best TV or film robot ever?

.... we'll be talking about this at about 06.50 on Friday morning. Which is your favourite?

(and can you name the three above?)

Favourite on screen robot - Bumblebee from the Transformers movie. Or Kryton from Red Dwarf, if you're talking all television. Very very funny! Andy.

My favorite film robots are Huwie, Dewie and Louie from the 70's film Silent Running. To me they set the format for the likes of R2D2 Wall-e etc. Ed in Aylesbury

My favorite screen robots are Hewey, Dewey & Louis from the fabulous film Silent Running. The only human in the film is Bruce Dern & the robots steal theshow. Not a dry eye in the house. Pete Timney.

My favourite robot - maximillian from the black hole. He was dark and sinister, r2d2's polar opposite! Tony in leatherhead.

ORAC from blake's seven is my fave. . . In the late seventies, a transparent box with flickering lights felt like the future. I wish he cld meet my ipod. Nick

    So the programmed robot kept doing what its limited outlook required him to do. Cleaning up the Earth. What would Robocop have done on an empty Earth then? No one to "clean up"

    But most of us can think and consider our options and that is what I find most hopeful - when we have seemingly so many zealots from most of the worlds religion leading the way.

    Like those Muslims I am watching on Channel Four at the moment - I hope I use my Bibles texts as a guide and not a skewed "rule book".

    We humans have so much in common - why harp on about the perceived differences all the time?
