Tesco Adverts with Prunella Scales


Hello everyone! 🙂

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

To add on to the tribute I made to Prunella Scales recently, I enjoyed her in some of the Tesco adverts that I used to see as a kid when I watched kid’s TV shows in the 1990s. It’s amazing that I saw Prunella Scales in those adverts as well as Sybil in ‘Fawlty Towers’. 🙂 Continue reading

Cinema Experience – ‘Back to the Future: 40th Anniversary’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I seem to be doing quite a lot of ‘Back to the Future’ reviews this year! I mean, more than usual. Not that I’m complaining, since it’s been great to celebrate ‘Back to the Future’s 40th anniversary more than once. And that’s more than revisiting the film trilogy itself in 2025. Continue reading

Christopher H. Bidmead (1941-2005), Nabil Shaban (1953-2005) & Prunella Scales (1932-2005)

Hello everyone 🙂

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

I’d like to pay tribute to three people that we sadly lost this year – Christopher Hamilton Bidmead, Nabil Shaban and Prunella Scale. I never got to meet these three in real life, sadly, but I have enjoyed their contributions to certain TV shows I’ve watched many times. Continue reading

‘Beast Wars’ Review #22 – ‘Before the Storm’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

We come now to the penultimate story in Season 1 of the ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ TV series called ‘Before the Storm’. This is a prelude to the two-part finale ‘Other Voices’. In this episode, an alien golden disc is discovered and Megatron establishes a truce between the Maximals and the Predacons. Optimus Primal and the Maximals work on finding out what Megatron has discovered, but they need to do it via peaceful means. I never saw this episode on TV back in the 1990s via GMTV, which is a shame. But I’m pleased to have seen it in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set for Christmas in December 2011. Things that were established in episodes like ‘Chain of Command’ and ‘The Trigger’ are built upon and come to together in the concluding story of Season 1 of ‘Beast Wars’. Is ‘Before the Storm’ a worthy prelude to what’s to come in the two-part finale of Season 1 of the ‘Beast Wars’ TV series? Continue reading
