As promised yesterday here is the bonus video content. Witness Rolph’s return to the podcast in all it’s glory.
Gaze in wonder as one cardboard box triggers his descent into hell and madness.

It’s a new dawn in Stardub Central. The long-lost Rolph has returned from his odyssey into the wilderness, but is he a changed man? What stories does he have to share? None!
Why is that you ask. Simple – friend of the podcast and Stunt Rolph – Philip Ayres has managed to waylay Ralph with a parcel of gifts for him. Phil is a True Friend and Rolph’s reactions are priceless. No need to imagine them, for a video of them will follow soon after this.
Once we’ve gotten that out of the way, we turn our thoughts and taste buds to this year’s Transformers Easter Egg, which comes with a mug (much like this podcast) and how well it performs.
Following that we look at the seldom spoken Legend of Robin Hood produced by the BBC in the 1970’s. Now the BBC’s most recent Robin Hood wasn’t exactly good, will this unearthed gem surpass it?
Rounding out the episode is Andu’s thoughts on The Dark Judges from World Book Night 2013, a collection of material from 2000ad focusing on the Alien Superfiends from Judge Dredd.
It’s another episode of Stardub and another Stunt-Rolph joins Andu in the ongoing mission to throw themselves onto the hand grenades of pop culture. Once more we have the Silent Member on board and guess what he isn’t silent!
That’s right Philip Ayres, friend of the podcast joins us to natter about Doctor Who and specifically Destiny of the Daleks. Inexplicably Philip thinks this is a good story, Andu (and the not dead and buried under Andu’s patio Rolph) do not.
Will there be tears, shouting, exchanging of parcels of really bad DVD’s and comics? Listen on and find out.
You will also get to find out some nefarious plans for the next Stardub…and perhaps the true fate of Rolph.
Post closing theme you will hear some spoilerrific speculation about who the Big Bad is from Doctor Who this year and just how long it has been planned from Phil.
It’s our third episode without Rolph, but fear not his ghost permeates the podcast. What? I totally didn’t kill him, how many times do I have to say this? He will return in our hour of need, like Optimus Prime but without the robot bits, but right now we have another Stunt-Rolph.
We welcome friend of the podcast JiiDee, who I managed to pry away from the Back To The Eighties team for a few hours to talk about stopmotion animation and in particular Portland Bill, as well as finding out what fresh hell he plans on visiting upon the absent Rolph.
Now gentle listener you must go to Abbey Home Media – http://www.abbeyhomemedia.com/contact and politely email as Jii requested to to ask them if they will release the last two episodes of Portland Bill on DVD or Blu -Ray.
Here is their email address – contact@abbeyhomemedia.com
Or write a real actual letter on paper and send it to – Hello Abbey Home Media, 435-437 Edgware Road, London W2 1TH, UK
You will earn the undying gratitude of the Stardub team, which of course is what you all strive for.
Right, the first living and breathing Stunt Rolph takes his place alongside Andy for your irregularly scheduled Stardub podcast installment.
We welcome Kaptain Karl Thurgood to the show (as he was the very, very first Stunt Rolph – waay back in our Eurovision special a few years back) and we subject him to the failed Wonder Woman pilot of a few years ago, before moving on to some quality with the first episode of the latest series of Doctor Who.
It’s been out a week so twitter, facebook and every other inconsiderate bawbag should have spoiled it for you so don’t complain at us!
