Behind the scenes

The assembled Green Toy, not yet installed in his proper place.[1]

This green robot was one of seven original robot designs supplied to the production of the Robots Ad [+]Loading...["Robots Ad (TV story)"] by Studio Kite. The behind-the-scenes featurette posted on Facebook by Canberra Daleks & Robots highlighted it as the biggest prop on-set, a detail which its minor appearance in the finished product does not convey all that clearly; the "green machine", which was brought to the set in several parts and assembled there, was many times taller than a human actor, towering over the partitions of the fake call centre.

The featurette also included a close-up of an in-universe prop which was not visible in the final cut, a whiteboard giving a partial list of the call centre's employees. One of the robots listed thereon was "Green Toy", which appears to be a reference to this robot. The comical "scoreboard" reported that it had received 14 calls, resolving only one and leaving 13 unsolved, also racking up 3 "fatalities" in the process..[1]
