Quick TV Review – ‘Grantchester’, Series 6, Episode 2

Hello everyone. 🙂

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

I’ve seen Series 6, Episode 2 of ‘Grantchester’! I enjoyed the episode very much and found it compelling. I especially liked the Wisdom of Solomon story given at the end by Tom Brittney as Will Davenport since it’s very fitting for what goes on in the episode. I am worried about Leonard though.

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Well, it took us a while, but my parents and I have finally reached the point where we can get onto watching Series 10 of ‘Call the Midwife’ on DVD. We’ve finished Series 9 on DVD and I’ve added my latest reviews on the season on my blog. I first saw Series 9 of ‘Call the Midwife’ back in early 2020. Amazing how I’m revisiting it a year later on DVD in 2021. Continue reading

Quick ‘Monsters At Work’ Review – ‘Adorable Returns’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I greatly enjoyed the seventh episode of ‘Monsters at Work’ on Disney+! It features the return of a character that was in the original ‘Monsters Inc.’ film. I’m pleased John Ratzenberger returned to voice this character. I can’t imagine anyone else who could voice this character and it fun to see him. Continue reading

Well, I’ve seen the latest film in the ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’ at the cinema – ‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’. This makes it the fifth film I’ve seen at a cinema in 2021.

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Once again, I’ve had an opportunity to revisit ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ film trilogies in the world of Middle-Earth. Whilst doing that, I’ve had a chance to revisit the 2019 biographical film ‘Tolkien’, starring Nicholas Hoult and Lily Collins. My parents and I have seen this film more times on DVD and on Disney+ since seeing it for the first time at the cinema back in 2019. Continue reading

Disney Film Review – ‘The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Recently, my parents and I revisited the 1989 Disney film ‘The Little Mermaid’. We enjoyed seeing that film again to commemorate my late sister Bethan. We also checked out the direct-to-video sequel to that film, ‘The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea’, which we saw on Disney+. Does the sequel match to what’s in the original film? Continue reading

It’s time to take a look at a story featured in the official ‘Doctor Who Annual’ of 2021 called ‘The Guide to the Dark Times’, starring River Song as author Melody Malone.

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

‘Grantchester’ is back! Wow! It’s been a while since there was a new ‘Grantchester’ episode on ITV1. I’m pleased to be seeing this series again as I enjoyed catching up from Series 1 to 5 last year.
