Hello everyone! 🙂

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

So, some time has passed since the release of the four teaser trailers of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, the upcoming ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’ film that’s due to be shown at cinemas in December 2026. I believe now is a good time to share my thoughts on them. 🙂 Continue reading

‘Beast Wars’ Review #29 – ‘Bad Spark’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

In today’s instalment of the ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ series, we have the introduction of a new Predacon character called Rampage in the episode ‘Bad Spark’. This episode also features Silverbolt and Blackarachnia teaming up with each other after they got caught in an energon storm during a battle for Protoform X (Rampage) between the Maximals and the Predacons. Silverbolt and Blackarachnia continue to form feelings for each other, following on from when they first met in ‘Tangled Web’. Will this develop into a blossoming romance between a Maximal and a Predacon? I saw this episode as part of a double bill of ‘Beast Wars’ episodes on August Bank Holiday Monday in 1999 via GMTV. I also saw this episode after seeing ‘Other Visits – Part 2’ on the same August Bank Holiday Monday. I had the episode recorded on VHS via GMTV in the morning before it was later released on an official VHS tape as well as in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set. Now the episode is currently available on YouTube for everyone to enjoy! Continue reading

Basement Update – Series 14 and 15 of ‘Doctor Who’ (January 2026)

Hello everyone! 🙂

Just a little update in case you’re wondering why I seem to be off the radar as it were in terms of sharing new items on ‘Bradley’s Basement’. I haven’t stopped thinking about my blog, as I’m planning to share some new posts later in the year, including a few in January. Continue reading

‘Beast Wars’ Review #28 – ‘Other Visits’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we are back with another ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ story and it happens to be a two-parter featuring the return of the mysterious aliens that almost scorched the planet Earth in ‘Other Voices’ at the end of Season 1. It’s time for ‘Other Visits’, a story where we see the return of Tigatron and Airazor. It’s also a story where the aliens form a unique base in the heart of a huge valley, one that Megatron attempts to take control of using the alien golden disc. I saw this two-parter over the course of two Bank Holiday Mondays. I saw ‘Part 1’ as the second episode of a double bill over Spring Bank Holiday Monday in May 1999 and I saw ‘Part 2’ as the first episode of a double bill over August Bank Holiday Monday in 1999. It was very exciting for me to wait in-between the two episodes for the cliffhanger to be resolved. And this was all recorded on VHS for me via GMTV in the morning. ‘Other Visits’ was later released on an official VHS tape as well as on DVD and is currently available on YouTube for everyone to enjoy!

‘Beast Wars’ Review #27 – ‘Maximal, No More’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Let’s return to another ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ episode where we check out the Season 2 episode ‘Maximal, No More’. This is the fifth episode in Season 2 of ‘Beast Wars’ and it’s the fourth in the season. In the episode, Dinobot finds himself put to the test where he must decide whether he’s going to be a Maximal or a Predacon. He initially rejoins the Predacons, thinking Megatron will achieve a great victory in his agenda. But his loyalty is tested, especially when he’s made to destroy a Maximal comrade. Who could that be? 😀 I first saw ‘Maximal, No More’ as part of a double bill of episodes on Spring Bank Holiday Monday in May 1999. This was on GMTV early in the morning. The episode was later released on an official VHS tape as well as on DVD and is currently available on YouTube for everyone to see it. Is ‘Maximal, No More’ a great instalment in the ‘Beast Wars’ TV series featuring Dinobot as a Transformers character? Continue reading
