"Green Toy", or the "green machine", was one of the operators at the dysfunctional call centre of a firm who employed only robots, a large, green, boxy-looking robot whose only visible action was to lift its arm up and down to no apparent purpose.

Behind the scenes

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

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..
