In case you’ve missed it yesterday, I’ve added a brand-new review on the Target novelization/audiobook of the ‘Doctor Who’ story ‘The Greatest Show in the Galaxy’ by Stephen Wyatt, based on the original TV scripts by him. The story features the Seventh Doctor and Ace, and takes place on the planet Segonax. The TARDIS duo visit the planet Segonax to check out the Psychic Circus where they meet a variety of characters, including Captain Cook, Mags, the Ringmaster, Morgana, the Chief Clown, Bellboy, Deadbeat, the Gods of Ragnarok, etc. The 2013 audiobook for ‘Doctor Who – The Greatest Show in the Galaxy’ is read by Sophie Aldred, who plays Ace in the classic TV series and the Big Finish audios.

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

And here we are on the fourth and final story in Season 25 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Sophie Aldred as Ace.
