Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we are on the sixth episode of Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. It’s time to check out ‘Rogue’, a pseudo-historical adventure set in Regency times where the Doctor and Ruby attend a ball at a mansion. The episode is by Kate Herron (who directed Season 1 of the ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’ series ‘Loki’) and Briony Redman. ‘Rogue’ was shown via BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK and via Disney+ in non-UK parts of the world on the 8th of June 2024. I’ve been able to share more thoughts on ‘Rogue’ as a ‘Doctor Who’ episode in my latest in-depth review since doing my spoiler-free reaction video on ‘Rogue’ back in June 2024. What else do I have to say about the episode as well as sharing my in-depth thoughts on a certain cameo featured in the episode? Continue reading →

Novelization/Audiobook Review – ‘Doctor Who – Warriors’ Gate’

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I’ve been revisiting Season 18 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series recently. In doing so, I’ve been able to revisit my review of the 2019 BBC Target audiobook of ‘Warriors’ Gate’ by Stephen Gallagher and have updated it accordingly along with the 2023 Target novelization. The 2023 Target novelization is a collection of stories related to ‘Warriors’ Gate’ – all penned by Stephen Gallagher – called ‘Warriors’ Gate and Beyond’. This includes ‘Warriors’ Gate’ itself, ‘The Kairos Ring’ and ‘The Little Book of Fate’. I’ll be sharing my reviews on ‘The Kairos Ring’ and ‘The Little Book of Fate’ in due course. ‘Warriors’ Gate’ is the third and final story in ‘The E-Space Trilogy’ in Season 18 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. The 2019 Target audiobook for ‘Warriors’ Gate’ is read by Jon Culshaw, and he’s joined by John Leeson, who voices K-9 in the ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. Continue reading →

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for us to check out the fifth episode of Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. This is a fascinating episode to check out in Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series as well as a very unnerving one. This is ‘Dot and Bubble’ by Russell T. Davies. ‘Dot and Bubble’ was shown via BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK and via Disney+ in non-UK parts of the world on the 1st of June 2024. It was after doing my spoiler-free reaction video on ‘Dot and Bubble’ back in June 2024 that I discovered this ‘Doctor Who’ episode was more than just warning us about the dangers of social media. What else does this ‘Doctor Who’ episode have to say to us? What is it that’s got people talking about it and why does it happen to be so unsettling? Continue reading →

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

And here we are, everyone! We’ve finally made it! It’s time now to talk about the fourth episode of Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. I’ve been waiting a long time to share my thoughts on this ‘Doctor Who’ episode, which happens to be ’73 Yards’ by Russell T. Davies. ’73 Yards’ was shown via BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK and via Disney+ in non-UK parts of the world on the 25th of May 2024. At the time I shared my spoiler-free reaction video on ’73 Yards’ back in May 2024, I didn’t know what to make of the episode when I first saw it, despite me enjoying Millie Gibson in the episode. Now I’ve had more time to think about the episode, what do I have to say about it? Has it won my approval or do I think this is an episode that could’ve been better handled? Continue reading →

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we are on the third episode of Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. This week, we’re checking out ‘Boom’ by Steven Moffat, who was the showrunner for the Matt Smith/Eleventh Doctor and Peter Capaldi/Twelfth Doctor eras from 2010 to 2017. ‘Boom’ was shown via BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK and via Disney+ in non-UK parts of the world on the 18th of May 2024. I recall seeing this episode at a Premier Inn when I was away in Bolton with my best mate from school Stephen. Was Steven Moffat’s return to ‘Doctor Who’ truly worthwhile, as I indicated in my spoiler-free reaction video on ‘Boom’ back in May 2024? Do I still regard ‘Boom’ as the best episode featured in Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series? Continue reading →

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for us to check out the second episode of Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. Today, it’s time for ‘The Devil’s Chord’ by Russell T. Davies, which was shown via BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK and via Disney+ in non-UK parts of the world on the 11th of May 2024. ‘The Devil’s Chord’ was the second in a double bill of ‘Doctor Who’ episodes shown on the 11th of May, with the first one being ‘Space Babies’. It’s been fascinating to revisit this ‘Doctor Who’ episode for my in-depth review on it compared to when I did my spoiler-free reaction video on both ‘Space Babies’ and ‘The Devil’s Chord’ back in May 2024. What do I have to say about this episode since first seeing it on BBC iPlayer back then? Continue reading →

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we are on the first episode of Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. It’s time to check out ‘Space Babies’ by Russell T. Davies, which was shown via BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK and via Disney+ in non-UK parts of the world on the 11th of May 2024. ‘Space Babies’ was the first in a double bill of ‘Doctor Who’ episodes shown on the 11th of May – the second one being ‘The Devil’s Chord’. I’ve had time to process and reflect on my thoughts on ‘Space Babies’ as well as the rest of Series 14. I’ve certainly more to say about this episode compared to when I did my spoiler-free reaction video on both ‘Space Babies’ and ‘The Devil’s Chord’ back in May 2024. Continue reading →

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

At long last! I’ve completed writing up my in-depth reviews on Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. These reviews are based on me checking out the stories in the Series 14 Blu-ray box set. As we speak, I’m in the process of uploading my reviews on each of the stories in Series 14 to my blog. I aim to share my reviews every week from April to June 2026. It’s taken me a while to write up my reviews on each story in Series 14, but I’m happy to be sharing them on my blog, which includes in-depth thoughts by me on what I think of the stories today compared to when I first viewed back from May to June 2024.
