Welcome back to the Stardub podcast gentle listener.  Roalph and Andu kick off the latest effort, with some handwringing about collecting as one of them attempts to justify buying the Titan Class Metroplex to their other half.  They then move on to a most unconventional dramatic reading (the first of many) of the novelisation of ZARDOZ!

Andu shares with us the Battle of the Planets TV Comic Special from 1983 (harass him on twitter to scan and upload this rarity as it does have the first meeting between Zoltar and 7-Zark-7) and Rolph bitches about Alex Ross’s revival of BOTP and the pair lament about the loss of comic book specials in the UK.

We then move on to the legend that is Peter’s Pocket Grandpa from the last ever The Dandy Summer Special before reviewing an issue of the Beano and leaving you on an exciting cliffhanger…

Right we’re back with the second of our video interludes.  This was recorded the Monday after Auto Assembly in a Cafe Nero as most of us were struggling with exhaustion and awaiting a train/bus to get us back home.

Philip Ayres makes a guest appearance in the flesh from the Death Fortress in Swindon in order to bestow gifts upon most of us and torment upon Rolph!

We’ll resume normal audio service soon…

It’s been a little but quiet here in the Sinister Haunt of Science that is Stardub, but fret not we shall return.

In the meantime here is the first of two special little video episodes to tide you over, in this first installment the dashing and handsome and never buried under a patio member of our team – Andu is presented with a gift courtesy of the True Friend of the podcast, the Silent Member – Philip Ayres.

Apologies for the background noise – we were in a pub (shock horror) and the wonky aspect ratio you can blame Nick Davidson who was wielding the phone that recorded this footage.

Toy-Fu Tat Raffle

As part of the shadowy cabal of toy sellers known as Toy-Fu, we will once again be at Auto Assembly this year selling vast amounts of Transformers toys to you, but with a difference.  All the proceeds from Toy-Fu go to Marys Meals, a great charity that sets up school feeding projects in communities where hunger and poverty prevent children getting an education.  A worthwhile cause.

In addition to selling toys, we have a raffle where you can win prizes ranging from tat to the fabulous.  So kicking off this year I thought I’d share one of the fabulous prizes.

This poster print from Tim Doyle, from the Blue Starlight Drive-In showing of Transformers The Movie in 2011.  16″ by 26’ printed with metallic ink throughout and signed and numbered by the artist.

This is No 200 of 225.

So if you want to own this and you happen to be at Auto Assembly, stop by and pick up a raffle ticket.

Stardub Episode 57 – Icke Scream, You Scream for Uranus

We’re back with some devastating news about Batman fan films courtesy of Youtube Roulette.  We take a detour by way of a Sonic Fan Film located here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtCtQpclpY8

which gives you a 15 minute drinking game of destiny, after this brush with madness we end up with some proper quality nonsense with David Icke – no links given, hit any clip of him at youtube at random, he will deliver the crazy.

We watch the fantastic Journey To The Seventh Planet – also available here –

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyETpuhiyA0

and learn of the correct way to pronounce Yooranus and the joys of airlocks in this splendid Danish filmed masterpiece.

Andu pulls from his extensive collection of comics, a recent “gem” from their recent trip to the Edinburgh Comic Mart, he speaks not of the Extreme Justice comics he bought, instead he talks of The Night Man/Gambit Issue one.  An ill-fated, ill-conceived Marvel/Malibu crossover.

After much procrastination we continue with our look at the Sixth incarnation (Colin Baker) of Doctor Who’s Television adventures with Revelation of the Daleks by Eric Saward, the last adventure before the so-called hiatus.
