‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Night Terrors’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This ‘Doctor Who’ episode by Mark Gatiss features the Doctor making a ‘house call’ to a terrified eight-year-old boy. Amy and Rory come along for the ride too and Peg Dolls come to life. This episode also features Daniel Mays who would go on to play Private Walker in the ‘Dad’s Army’ 2016 movie. Continue reading

Quick DVD Box Set Review – ‘Blake’s 7’ (Series 3)

SPOILERS ALERT!!!

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I’ve thankfully finished seeing all of Series 3 of ‘Blake’s 7’. I have taken my time with these seasons, but I’m glad I managed to watch all 13 episodes of Series 3 and I’m looking forward to watching Series 4 next. Series 3 of ‘Blake’s 7’ has been an intriguing and unusual season for me to sit through. Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Let’s Kill Hitler’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This is the mid-season opener in Series 6 of ‘Doctor Who’. In this episode, the Doctor, Amy and Rory get to meet River Song…before she became River Song. Sounds weird, I know. And despite this episode being called ‘Let’s Kill Hitler’, it barely features him. I found this disappointing when I saw the episode. Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘A Good Man Goes to War’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

We’ve come now to the end of the first half of Series 6. There was a break in-between Part 1 and Part 2 of Series 6. ‘A Good Man Goes to War’ is the mid-season finale and it features the true identity of River Song. Dare I say it, I wasn’t particularly happy with how River Song was revealed in the episode. Continue reading

DVD Review – ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

And welcome back to this year’s ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe Film Review Season’!

Today, we take a look at the second movie of a group of superheroes that I barely know about from the comics. It’s time for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’. I saw this movie at the cinema back in May 2017. Will this movie be better second time watching it on DVD compared to first time at the cinema? Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘The Rebel Flesh’/’The Almost People’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This is the last two-part story in the Matt Smith TV era of ‘Doctor Who’. In this story, the Doctor, Amy and Rory come across the Gangers and an issue of identity crisis occurs. This story is by Matthew Graham who previously wrote ‘Fear Her’ in Series 2. The story closes on a pretty shocking cliff-hanger. Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘The Doctor’s Wife’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

In this ‘Doctor Who’ episode, Matt Smith’s Doctor meets the TARDIS in person…and she’s a woman called Idris. Yeah! This is the first ‘Doctor Who’ episode to be penned by Neil Gaiman for the TV series. This is a fan-pleasing episode in Series 6 of ‘Doctor Who’ that I’ve got to admit I enjoyed watching on the TV. Continue reading

CD Review – ‘Energy of the Daleks’ (Doctor Who)

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here’s another random ‘Doctor Who’ review from my old Amazon review days on my blog. This was a Big Finish audio story recently re-released on vinyl apparently. Today, it’s time for ‘Energy of the Daleks’, starring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor and Louise Jameson as Leela. This is a brilliant tale! Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘The Curse of the Black Spot’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This is a ‘Doctor Who’ episode about pirates that could’ve easily ended up being ‘Treasure Island’ with aliens. But it’s not, it’s ‘The Curse of the Black Spot’ instead. This episode features Matt Smith’s Doctor, Amy and Rory meeting Hugh Bonneville as pirate Captain Avery whose crew gets attacked by a female siren. Continue reading
