Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

And thus, we’ve come to the end of our first ‘Power Month’ review season on ‘Bradley’s Basement’. I hope you’ve enjoyed it. There’ll be a new ‘Power Month’ review season in 2024. For now, let’s close off the first ‘Power Month’ by checking out a ‘Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ episode called ‘Clean-Up Club’ where the Power Rangers team starts up a clean-up club to protect Angel Grove’s environment. But Rita Repulsa causes trouble again when she sends in her latest monster called Polluticron (seriously!) to end the five Ranger teens’ noble efforts to thwart pollution and such. 😐 Will the Rangers be able to defeat Polluticron on the ground as well as in their Dino Megazord?

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we are on the last set of ‘Doctor Who’ stories featuring David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, which are the 2008 to 2010 Specials in the new TV series. Today, we’re starting off on ‘The Next Doctor’, the 2008 Christmas Special by Russell T. Davies. This is a ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas Special that features the return of the Cybermen, who were last seen in ‘Doomsday’, and the story is set in Victorian London in the year 1851. There’s the introduction of David Morrisey (I’ve seen him in 1998’s BBC TV production of ‘Our Mutual Friend’) who claims to be a new incarnation of the Doctor. There are also special guest stars like Dervla Kirwan as the villainous Miss Hartigan and Velile Tshabalala as Rosita, the David Morrisey Doctor’s companion. Will the Tenth Doctor uncover the mystery about David Morrisey’s Doctor and how the Cybermen are involved? ‘The Next Doctor’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer. Continue reading →

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we are on the penultimate day of the first ‘Power Month’ season in 2023. So, let’s check out a ‘Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ episode called ‘Birds of a Feather’, where Zack helps a student in his hip-hop martial arts class to build up his confidence by taking part in a Junior Martial Arts Competition. Zack’s student called Kameron must fight against Bulk and Skull’s kid called Biff. No, that’s not a ‘Back to the Future’ joke. That’s what he’s called. 😀 Soon, the Rangers are summoned to stop a monster called Hatchasaurus, who is being controlled by an evil heart called Cardiotron. Will Jason be able to use the Green Ranger powers to defeat Hatchasarus controlled by Cardiotron? Continue reading →

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

In my opinion, Series 4 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series is the best season out of the David Tennant/Tenth Doctor era. I have very fond memories of this season when I saw it back in 2008. It was my first proper ‘Doctor Who’ season to watch on TV after I saw the previous seasons on DVD. 🙂 Continue reading →
