- Computeach and the pupil "Can I press the button?" 'Oh all right then' "oohh
- so nice!!' is another of the funniest bits...

- And on the radio series when Marvin is at the bottom of a deep dark hole...
- and eventually comes out to rescue Arthur and Lintilla...
- Marvin: I've been at the bottom of a deep dark hole... I climbed out cos I was
- getting to like it too much!
- and later
- Marvin: I suppose you want to be rescued now
- (can't spell the guy's name): Yes please
- Arthur: Not you
