For me it has to be a patrician voice (preferrably British) that can just drip contempt and lack of caring.
Rickman really is perfection for Marvin. I'm hearing him that way already. I dunno if he is a bit overexposed (see: Potter, H.), but as long as it works for me, that will be fine.
I remember the radio Marvin being rather Rickman-ish -- very deep, very British.

Plus Rickman can do the "I'm so painfully bored" overtones that Marvin needs.
Okay, now I know what I'm spending my Borders gift card from Xmas on--the complete HGttG set of books. I haven't read them in years.
I actually got the leather-bound "Complete" Hitchhiker's Guide book years and years ago, this was before the release of Mostly Harmless, I need to break it out and re-read it at some point. I have no desire to find a copy of Mostly Harmless, though. When I read it it felt very much like Adams went "There, I ended it. Now stop bugging me for more HH books."
I have probably owned more copies of the Hitchhiker's Trilogy than any other book(s). I can think offhand of about 6 different versions I owned before reequeen and I got together, and we've been through about 3 more. We currently have 2, one of them in a compleate hardbound edition, one in each individual paperback, as well as the original radio scripts.

I have this one too. And the paperbacks. And the radio show, and the tv show.

Hands up with everybody who would be happy with a great deal more Rickman-exposure, and I mean that in both the porn and non-porn senses.
I thought so.

Yes, but do you have the newly-recorded THIRD BBC radio show?

No... but I have the Radio Times with the ginormous article about it. Does that count?
I ordered it from amazon.co.uk.
I have been buying books for comfort as well as eating for comfort. Now I am having to buy clothes for discomfort.
