David Learner in The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy TV series

Actually, David only played Marvin's body, he never did the voice for Marvin at all. The voice of Marvin was provided by a different actor, who also played Marvin in the radio series.
The singing Marvin... is also that actor. David was, once again, in the suit, but silently so.

Sounds like a great idea to me too! Allo Allo fans often have these conventions, Angela "Helga" Hartman and Richard "Herr Flick" Gibson frequently appear at them in costume!
