Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s Spring Bank Holiday Monday in May in the UK today, and it’s time for the first story of ‘The Black Guardian Trilogy’ in Season 20 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series – ‘Mawdryn Undead’. This a four-part story by Peter Grimwade, starring Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Janet Fielding as Tegan. As well as the return of Valentine Dyall as the Black Guardian, this story also features the return of Nicholas Courtney as the Brigadier. This story also introduces us to new companion Mark Strickson as Vislor Turlough. And there’s David Collings, who guest stars as the titular Mawdryn. ‘Mawdryn Undead’ can be checked out on DVD and Britbox.

Please feel free to check out, read and comment on my current review for ‘Mawdryn Undead’. I’ve also reviewed Issue #110 of ‘Doctor Who Magazine’, which features an interview with Sarah Sutton. And I’ve reviewed the Target novelization/audiobook ‘Doctor Who – Mawdryn Undead’ by Peter Grimwade, read by David Collings.

Enjoy!

Bye for now!

Tim. 🙂
