Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Every week we rate the robot from a movie, if it gets a score of 7 out of 10 then we say that it is not a shit robot. Today, we are donning our robot-examining pince-nez to look at the 1967 British movie, the Terrornauts. It's Contact but not as good and made with British comedy heroes, Charles Hawtrey and Patricia Hayes.
WARNING! The S**t-bomb is sometimes uttered but nothing more.
