A quick work in progress shot of a Kreo strip I have started working on.

A little later than planned due to Lego based jaunts and laziness but we’re back with Episode 61.
In what can only be described as a self-harming on a near-biblical scale our intrepid team are teabagging themselves with two titanic Time Lord related televisual tortures. Gently easing themselves into the horrors to come they kick off with Meglos, starring Tom Baker as The Doctor and an evil cactus. (It’s not as much fun as it sounds kids). Although the extras do let us see into the home of Doctor Who script editor – THE BIDMEAD as well as a discussion of scene sync, cso and inevitably Underworld.
A brief discussion of the excellent Doctor Who DVD ranges as well as the late Doctor Who producer John-Nathan Turner brings a brief respite before they watch K-9 and Company.
Can the fortifying power of vodka and cardboard Spider-Man masks protect our team from the full horror?

Not a typo, not a misspelling, in this podcast one of our hosts reads an informative leaflet on how to inject drugs in your groin, courtesy of the other’s real life job. Don’t say we don’t teach you anything here at Stardub Central.
IIIIT’S CHRISTMAS if you happen to be in a supermarket at this time of year and our intrepid team take a taste challenge once more, and it’s the return of Freddo to the podcast, with some Freddo Bars with popping candy and the despair inducing Freddo Faces, possibly the bleakest confectionary you may ever partake of.
Licensed to Thrill – The Marvel Super Heroes Sweet Treat Surprise Bag, what amazing crap can the team expect, and will there be magnets?
In a vain attempt to raise the level of intellectual discourse we turn to a few issues of the Classics Illustrated series published by First Comics in the early 1990’s. Naturally any conversation of comics somehow finds it’s way to Shatter and Batman: Digital Justice and why they aren’t available digitally. Then a nice wee rant about DC Comics. Hell, everyone else is doing it so lets’ hop on the bandwagon.
Rounding off the podcast, finally Andu get’s to inflict a Taste Challenge on Rolph as he introduces him to the world of CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS!!!

Episode 59 sees a lot of procrastinating from the team before they can work up the energy and the fortitude to brave Doctor Who – The Web Planet, so before they do that they spend time talking of happier times and happier things.
What things?
Well, the short-lived Havoc from Marvel UK, which brought Deathlok, Robocop, Ghost Rider, Conan and the Star Slammers to kids on a weekly basis. Can you tell it was released in the early 1990’s? From there we actually talk about Transfrormers, and in particular Transformers UK Issue 39, a personal favourite of Andy’s.
The team also talk about fuck-nuggets at conventions and why we miss some of the older ones. We weep that nobody still asks Simon Furman about colouring errors on the Transformers cartoon and we lay down the challenge for Auto Asssembly 2014 and we DEMAND our listeners join with us in preparing questions to Flint Dille on…FIVE FACES OF DARKNESS!

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…
