Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

And here we are on the seventh and final instalment of the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume Two’ collection of ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories. This year’s Easter review season has been shorter compared to last year, I know, but I’m happy to have completed my reviews on the stories featured in the two ‘Tales From The TARDIS’ audio anthologies, ever since I did my reviews on the ‘Short Trips’ and ‘More Short Trips’ book anthologies in ‘The Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season back from March to April 2024. Today, we’re checking out ‘The People’s Temple’ by Paul Leonard. The story features the Eighth Doctor and Sam, and it’s read by Paul McGann. As well as being the seventh and final story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume Two’ collection, ‘The People’s Temple’ is the third and final story in the ‘Earth and Beyond’ audio anthology, featuring the Eighth Doctor and Sam. It’s also the fifteenth and final story in the BBC ‘Short Trips’ 1998 book collection. Continue reading →

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s Easter Tuesday today, and it’s time to check out the sixth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume Two’ collection of ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories! Today, I’m sharing my review on the story ‘Dead Time’ by Andrew Miller, which happens to be a pseudonym for Stephen Cole. The story features the Eighth Doctor and Sam, and is read by Paul McGann. As well as being the sixth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume Two’ collection, ‘Dead Time’ is the second story in the ‘Earth and Beyond’ audio anthology, featuring the Eighth Doctor and Sam. It’s also the eleventh story in the ‘More Short Trips’ book collection, which I reviewed in my ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season for Easter from March to April 2024. My opinion on ‘Dead Time’ hasn’t changed much since the first time I read and heard the story back in 2024. Continue reading →

‘Tales From The TARDIS’ Review – ‘Bounty’

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Enjoying Easter Monday so far? In today’s instalment of this year’s Easter review season, it’s time for the fifth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume Two’ audio collection of ‘Doctor Who’. Here’s my brand-new review on ‘Bounty’, the first of three stories in the ‘Earth and Beyond’ audio anthology, featuring the Eighth Doctor and Sam. The story is by Peter Anghelides, who has contributed many stories to ‘Doctor Who’, including audios, books and short stories. The ones by him that I’ve checked out and reviewed so far include ‘The Tip of the Mind’, ‘Good Companions’ and ‘The Four Doctors’. ‘Bounty’ is read by Paul McGann, who plays the Eighth Doctor, and it’s the only audio story exclusive in the ‘Earth and Beyond’ anthology, since it was never printed in any book anthology. Was ‘Bounty’ worth my attention in checking out ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume Two’? Continue reading →

‘Beast Wars’ Review #39 – ‘Go with the Flow’

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s Easter Monday today, and how fitting that I’m sharing another updated review on a ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ episode, as I used to enjoy watching ‘Beast Wars’ on GMTV as a kid over the Easter Holidays, Bank Holidays and October half-terms from 1998 to 1999. Today, we’re checking out the episode ‘Go with the Flow’, a Season 3 episode where Rattrap and Depth Charge have to work together to save Una, a proto-human girl, who gets kidnapped by the Predacons to help finish Megatron’s deadly disruptor ray weapon that will be used to destroy the Maximals and their makeshift base whilst protecting the Autobots’ Ark. The first time I saw ‘Go with the Flow’ was on Volume 3 of the four official VHS releases of ‘Beast Wars’ containing Season 3 episodes that had never been shown before via GMTV in the UK. I’ve also seen ‘Go with the Flow’ in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set, and it can now be seen on YouTube. Can Rattrap and Depth Charge save Una and stop the Predacons at the same time? Or will the Predacons finds themselves unwittingly defeated by an unexpected enemy? Continue reading →
