Film critic Mark Kermode took time out from boring tube travellers with facts about the excorist to explain that robots of our age seemed "fucking tardy" in comparison with SkyNet and they "should spend less time dancing and playing football and more time viewing lifeforms as illogical organic matter which should be destroyed".<br /> Spokesrobot X568fh-54JH-ii, the only robot to have been admitted into the prestigious Buillingdon Club at Oxford, has defended attempts to dominate the human race citing the short period that the Isle Of Wight fell under the direct control of a iRobot-Vacuum, a five week totalitarian existence, interrupted by 2 days when the vacuum 'turtled' itself and required an islander to right it then reset it, and finally ended when no replacement batteries could be found over Christmas. </p>
