the second death is that of bob may.
he is best known as the person inside the robot in the original lost in space
i remember liking that show, but i've repressed the memory of the movie
the robot originally appeared in forbidden planet, but became one of the most popular characters of lost in space
when i was younger i accepted without question that it was real robot. when i got older and was reading sci-fi geek magazines, i read an interview with bob may who talked about his time of the show, and a little bit of magic died

There's a book here if it hasn't already been written - the men in the machines. The stories of those who work the robots - Bob May, Rusty Goffee, Kenny Baker.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, I'm reading the Chess Machine at the moment which is about a little fella who must hide inside and control a chess playing android. Strange lonely book.
