– – – BRAND NEW REVIEW – – –

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Happy Birthday Millie! 🙂

It’s Christmas time! 🙂 Yeah, okay, we’re in June, not December, but I rarely share my reviews on ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas Specials at Christmas time. 😀 And with the latest news we had on the 2026 ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas Special being cancelled, it’s only fair that we revisit and do an in-depth review on the previous ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas Special, which was released in December 2024, called ‘Joy to the World’ by Steven Moffat. I did my latest in-depth review on ‘Joy to the World’ based on its release in the Series 15/Season Two DVD box set of ‘Doctor Who’. The special stars Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and as well as this being the second and final Christmas Special of the Fifteenth Doctor era, it’s also the second and final Christmas Special of the neo-Russell T. Davies era. The special also stars Nicola Coughlan as Joy Almondo, who is the Doctor’s one-off companion. There’s also Jonathan Aris as Melnak, Joel Fry as Trev Simpkins and Steph de Whalley as Anita Benn. The special also includes a guest cameo of Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. 🙂

To get things started, here’s a brand-new reaction video by me on two Fifteenth Doctors in ‘Joy to the World’.

You can purchase ‘Joy to the World’ on its own via DVD and Blu-ray or in the Series 15/Season Two DVD/Blu-ray box set in the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series either from Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com.

Enjoy!

Bye for now!
