Series 14 of ‘Doctor Who’ with Ncuti Gatwa on Blu-ray #7

– – – BRAND NEW REVIEW – – –

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

It’s an epic in-depth ‘Doctor Who’ review by me today! 😀 Today, it’s time to check out the seventh and final story of Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. It’s time for the two-part finale ‘The Legend of Ruby Sunday’/’Empire of Death’ by Russell T. Davies. This story also features the return of Bonnie Langford as Melanie Bush, Jemma Redgrave as Kath Lethbridge-Stewart, Yasmin Finney as Rose Noble and the rest of the U.N.I.T. team for the neo-RTD era (except for Ruth Madeley as Shirley Ann Bingham, which is a shame – this will be explained in the review itself). I saw ‘The Legend of Ruby Sunday’ on TV on the 15th of June 2024 and I saw both ‘The Legend of Ruby Sunday’ and ‘Empire of Death’ at the cinema at midnight from the 21st leading into the 22nd June 2024. I did spoiler-free reactions on both ‘The Legend of Ruby Sunday’ and ‘Empire of Death’ at the time of seeing the episodes back in June 2024. What more do I have to say about this two-part finale in Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series? Continue reading

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Here we are on the sixth episode of Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. It’s time to check out ‘Rogue’, a pseudo-historical adventure set in Regency times where the Doctor and Ruby attend a ball at a mansion. The episode is by Kate Herron (who directed Season 1 of the ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’ series ‘Loki’) and Briony Redman. ‘Rogue’ was shown via BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK and via Disney+ in non-UK parts of the world on the 8th of June 2024. I’ve been able to share more thoughts on ‘Rogue’ as a ‘Doctor Who’ episode in my latest in-depth review since doing my spoiler-free reaction video on ‘Rogue’ back in June 2024. What else do I have to say about the episode as well as sharing my in-depth thoughts on a certain cameo featured in the episode? Continue reading

Novelization/Audiobook Review – ‘Doctor Who – Warriors’ Gate’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

I’ve been revisiting Season 18 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series recently. In doing so, I’ve been able to revisit my review of the 2019 BBC Target audiobook of ‘Warriors’ Gate’ by Stephen Gallagher and have updated it accordingly along with the 2023 Target novelization. The 2023 Target novelization is a collection of stories related to ‘Warriors’ Gate’ – all penned by Stephen Gallagher – called ‘Warriors’ Gate and Beyond’. This includes ‘Warriors’ Gate’ itself, ‘The Kairos Ring’ and ‘The Little Book of Fate’. I’ll be sharing my reviews on ‘The Kairos Ring’ and ‘The Little Book of Fate’ in due course. ‘Warriors’ Gate’ is the third and final story in ‘The E-Space Trilogy’ in Season 18 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. The 2019 Target audiobook for ‘Warriors’ Gate’ is read by Jon Culshaw, and he’s joined by John Leeson, who voices K-9 in the ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. Continue reading

Birthday Jigsaws 2026

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

For my birthday this year, I had a couple of jigsaw puzzles based on two photos. This included a photo of me with Puddles, one of my cuddly toy dogs, and a photo of me with Sarah Sutton (Nyssa in ‘Doctor Who’) and Cuddles, who’s another of my cuddly toy dogs. Continue reading

Celebrating 40 Years of ‘Top Gun’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Last weekend, I saw the two movies ‘Top Gun’ and ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ starring Tom Cruise at Vue cinema in Cardiff to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ‘Top Gun’. I’m amazed that it’s been 40 years since the release of the original 1986 film. How times flies? Continue reading

Series 14 of ‘Doctor Who’ with Ncuti Gatwa on Blu-ray #5

– – – BRAND NEW REVIEW – – –

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

It’s time for us to check out the fifth episode of Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. This is a fascinating episode to check out in Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series as well as a very unnerving one. This is ‘Dot and Bubble’ by Russell T. Davies. ‘Dot and Bubble’ was shown via BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK and via Disney+ in non-UK parts of the world on the 1st of June 2024. It was after doing my spoiler-free reaction video on ‘Dot and Bubble’ back in June 2024 that I discovered this ‘Doctor Who’ episode was more than just warning us about the dangers of social media. What else does this ‘Doctor Who’ episode have to say to us? What is it that’s got people talking about it and why does it happen to be so unsettling? Continue reading

Quick DVD Review – ‘Come Back Mrs. Noah’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Ideally, a BBC TV sitcom series set in the future and produced by David Croft (who co-created ‘Dad’s Army’, ‘It Ain’t Half Hot Mum’, ‘Allo ‘Allo’, ‘Hi-De-Hi’ and ‘You Rang M’Lord’) should be amazing, right? 😐 It’s something that should’ve had plenty of potential. Continue reading
