Series 30, Episode 7 - Will Randolph Make A Good Impression?
Hobbo turns up at the river wall with Randolph, who he hopes will bring romance into Stella's life.
Further details

Randolph seems to lack any of the requirements of a potential suitor, and is limp and unattractive, especially after Hobbo drops him in the river. After a little rehearsal and some invaluable tips on how to give Stella 'the look', Randolph demonstrates that he has no chance whatsoever of impressing her. But there must be some way - for instance, who is Stella's favourite movie character?
