Quick DVD Review – ‘Tom and Jerry: Snowman’s Land’
Hello everyone! 🙂
Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
When I was in Cheltenham last week, I purchased the latest ‘Tom and Jerry’ film on DVD, which is ‘Tom and Jerry: Snowman’s Land’. This was released like eleven months after the release of ‘Cowboy Up!’ in January 2022. In my opinion, I found ‘Snowman’s Land’ more enjoyable than ‘Cowboy Up!’. 🙂 Continue reading
‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘It Takes You Away’
Hello everyone! 🙂
Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
This is the penultimate episode in Series 11 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. We have Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, Bradley Walsh as Graham, Tosin Cole as Ryan and Mandip Gill as Yaz visiting Norway in the year 2018 in this episode. It’s time for ‘It Takes You Away’ by Ed Hime – his first contribution to the TV series. In the episode, our space-and-time travellers investigate the disappearance of a widower called Erik. They’re helped by Erik’s blind daughter named Hanne. The guest cast includes Ellie Wallwork (who would go on to appear in a Series 9 episode of ‘Call the Midwife’) as Hanne. There’s Christian Rubeck as Erik and Lisa Stokke as Trine, Erik’s wife and Hanne’s mother. There’s Kevin Eldon (who would go on to play Lance Corporal Jones in the 2019 remake of the Series 2 ‘lost episodes’ of ‘Dad’s Army’) as Ribbons. And there’s a special guest appearance of Sharon D. Clarke as Grace, Graham’s wife and Ryan’s nan. This episode has our heroes visiting another universe. It also has the Thirteenth Doctor meeting a frog. Can things get weirder than that? 😀 ‘It Takes You Away’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer. Continue reading

Quick Movie Review – ‘Dashing Through the Snow’
Hello everyone! 🙂
Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
My parents and I checked out another Christmas movie that was released exclusively to Disney+. We saw ‘Dashing Through the Snow’, a Christmas fantasy comedy film directed by Tim Story. Tim Story is a name I’ve come across before, as he directed the 2005 and 2007 ‘Fantastic Four’ live-action films. 🙂 Continue reading
‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘The Witchfinders’
Hello everyone! 🙂
Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
Here we are on what is arguably a very good ‘Doctor Who’ episode in Series 11 of the new TV series, starring Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, Bradley Walsh as Graham, Tosin Cole as Ryan and Mandip Gill as Yaz. This is ‘The Witchfinders’ by Joy Wilkinson, which happens to be another pseudo-historical adventure. In this episode, the Doctor and her three friends visit 17th century Lancashire where a witch hunt is taking place and it’s being held by a local landowner. The episode’s guest cast includes Alan Cumming (who I’ve seen in the ‘Spy Kids’ movies, ‘X-Men 2’ and ‘The Airzone Solution’) as King James, Siobhan Finneran (who’s been in ‘Downton Abbey’) as Becka Savage, and Tilly Steele (who’s recently been in ‘The Ninth Doctor Adventures’ Big Finish anthology ‘Lost Warriors’) as Willa Twiston. There are also mud witches in the episode. Whilst the episode received positive reviews from critics at the time of its BBC broadcast, do I consider this to be one of the best episodes from Series 11 of the new TV series as well as the Jodie Whittaker/Thirteenth Doctor era? ‘The Witchfinders’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer.

Quick Escape Hunt Review – ‘A Dalek Awakens’ (TLV) (Doctor Who)
Hello everyone! 🙂
Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
Last week, my parents and I spent a couple of days in Cheltenham from Wednesday to Friday. On Thursday, my Mum and I did the ‘Doctor Who’ Escape Hunt game called ‘A Dalek Awakens’! It was the first time we ever did a ‘Doctor Who’ Escape Hunt game, but we had great fun experiencing it! 🙂 Continue reading
‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘Kerblam!’
Hello everyone! 🙂
Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
It’s time for my favourite episode in Series 11 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series as well as the Jodie Whittaker/Thirteenth Doctor era. Today, we’re checking out ‘Kerblam!’ by Pete McTighe, starring Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, Bradley Walsh as Graham, Tosin Cole as Ryan and Mandip Gill as Yaz. Remember, “if you want it, Kerblam it!” 😀 This is an episode where the Thirteenth Doctor and her gang visit the delivery company called Kerblam in the far future. They investigate why a package sent to the Doctor in her TARDIS contained a message requesting for help. It turns out the company has some missing human employees and the automated workforce – the Kerblam men – are behaving oddly. 😐 The guest cast includes Julie Hesmondhalgh (of ‘Coronation Street’ fame) as Judy Maddox, Lee Mack (of ‘Not Going Out’ fame) as Dan Cooper, Callum Dixon as Jarva Slade, Claudie Jessia as Kira Arlo, Leo Flanagan as Charlie Duffy, and Matthew Gravelle as the voice of Kerblam. So, what is it about this ‘Doctor Who’ episode that makes me happy to see it every time I watch it? ‘Kerblam!’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer. Continue reading
