Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s Good Friday today, and we’re continuing the 2024 ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season by checking out the first ‘Short Trips’ anthology book of ‘Doctor Who’ published by the BBC, which was released in March 1998. There are fifteen stories in the anthology and one of them happens to feature the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa. 🙂

The story is called ‘The Parliament of Rats’ by Daniel O’Mahony. The other stories include ‘Model Train Set’, ‘Old Flames’, ‘War Crimes’, ‘The Last Days’, ‘Stop the Pigeon’, ‘Freedom’, ‘Glass’, ‘Mondas Passing’, ‘There are Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden’, ‘Mother’s Little Helper’, ‘Rights’, ‘Wish You Were Here’, ‘Ace of Hearts’ and ‘The People’s Temple’. There are audiobook readings for some of these stories, including ‘Model Train Set’, ‘Stop the Pigeon’ and ‘Glass’ read by Sophie Aldred; ‘Old Flames’ and ‘Freedom’ read by Nicholas Courtney; ‘Wish You Were Here’ read by Colin Baker; and ‘The People’s Temple’ read by Paul McGann.
