[edit] Stephen Hawking
Was that actually Stephen Hawking, or just the use of the same voice synthesizer software? I always assumed the latter. David | Talk 21:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- He does appear in the pre-credits sequences where he exchanges insults with Victor (and once a Dalek), so there's some visual evidence
-
- TV Offal is "the mechanically-recovered meat of television". It's simple enough to take some videotape of Stephen Hawking from some other programme and make him appear to be next to Victor. Although I know Stephen Hawking does have an odd sense of humour and might well have said "Yes" if he had been asked to take part. David | Talk 14:36, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Would'nt the case have involved using a "special thanks to..." credit when using footage of Hawking? similar as crediting Terry Nation's estate for use of the Daleks?
It's hard enough he does'nt have a definitive voice to tell whenever or not it's him, or a characteristic besides his condition, the only way I can tell he makes cameos in The Simpsons and Futurama is when they announce it officially, but there's probably been plenty of obscure comedy peices Hawking has been involved in without much fanfare or publicity, Tv Offal, and many of them though, may be too obscure to ever attain full confirmation on this unless one wants to e-mail Smith himself and risk his venomous piss-taking ^_^
