Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for us to check out the third story in Season 25 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Sophie Aldred as Ace. Today, it’s time for ‘Silver Nemesis’, which is the actual 25th anniversary story of the season and it features the return of the Cybermen as well as featuring neo-Nazis, Lady Peinforte and Richard. I’ve updated and extended my thoughts on the story, based on my revisit of ‘Silver Nemesis’ via the Season 25 Blu-ray box set. ‘Silver Nemesis’ is a three-part adventure by Kevin Clarke. For the Season 25 Blu-ray box set, there are four versions of the story, including the original three-part story, the three-part Special Edition version, the 55-minute Special Edition omnibus version and the three-part extended VHS version from 1993.

I’ve enjoyed revisiting ‘Silver Nemesis’ in three forms, including the three-part Special Edition version, the 55-minute Special Edition omnibus version and the three-part extended VHS from 1993. The three-part Special Edition version contains a extended edit of the story and new CGI effects. I’ve enjoyed some of the exclusive Blu-ray special features on ‘Silver Nemesis’. As well as the ‘Industrial Action’ making-of documentary from the 2010 DVD, there’s the 1988 making-of documentary produced by the US New Jersey Network, which was on the 1993 three-part extended VHS release and is now available to check out in the Season 25 Blu-ray box set. I’ve also enjoyed the ‘Behind the Sofa’ item featuring Sylvester McCoy, Sophie Aldred, Mark Hardy, Janet Fielding, Wendy Padbury, Sarah Sutton, Bonnie Langford and Nicola Bryant. There’s also the new ‘In Conversation’ interview with script editor Andrew Cartmel, conducted by Matthew Sweet to enjoy.

Please feel free to check out, read and comment on my updated review for ‘Silver Nemesis’ by clicking on the link for it. This contains a review on the TV story. In my updated review on ‘Silver Nemesis’, I’ve created a new video of me reacting to the skinheads that confront Lady Peinforte and Richard in the story.

You can purchase ‘Doctor Who – The Collection – Season 25’ on Blu-ray either from Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com.

Enjoy!

Bye for now!
