Estate of Dave Prowse - The Green Cross Code Man - an icon of 1970s television - the original production used ' Droid ' robot from the famous Green Cross Code adverts which featured Mr Prowse as The Green Cross Man. Droid comes in full working order, benefitting from recent servicing and maintenance. Moving head, and light-up chest section, and fitted with a Bluetooth speaker to front. White fibreglass body, with green ancillaries with a motorised wheeled base. Radio controlled, with largely new electrics. Full working order, supplied with a battery charger. Measures approx; 130cm tall. A unique piece of British television history, with several key links to Star Wars. Droid was given to Mr Prowse after filming for the adverts ended, and was taken to several public appearances for fans to see. In the early 2000s the robot was restored by Podpad Studios for Mr Prowse and has since been maintained by Lee Towersey - R2D2 Builder and Operator in The Force Awakens, The Rise Of Skywalker, Rogue One and Solo. Such was the popularity of Star Wars, and the connection between Prowse and the franchise, it was decided that Green Cross Man should have a robot side-kick and so Droid was born into the public information films in the early 1980s. Droid was also used extensively in the publicity for the Estate Of Dave Prowse auction in May 2021 and featured on BBC News, Sky News and ITV News. Supplied with an exclusive certificate of authenticity from the Prowse family
