‘All Creatures Great and Small’ – Series 6 REVIEWED

   

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I’ve finished my reviews on Series 6 of ‘All Creatures Great and Small’. I have enjoyed this season, though I don’t think its as good as previous seasons. This is bound to be due to Peter Davison as Tristan not being in it much. But hey Series 7 is coming up next. I’m looking forward to see Trist back in that! 😀 Continue reading

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for a film review that combines both The World of Charles Dickens and Disney together. Here’s my review on the 1997 TV film adaptation of ‘Oliver Twist’. This TV movie was shown in ‘The Wonderful World of Disney’ US programme back in 1997. Like most film adaptations, this differs to what’s in the book. Continue reading

Quick Movie Review – ‘Downton Abbey’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This week, I saw the ‘Downton Abbey’ movie at the cinema! I really enjoyed it! And this is coming from someone who’s only just got into the TV series recently. Thankfully, Hugh Bonneville said you don’t need to watch the TV series, since you can go into the film without getting confused. He was right! 🙂 Continue reading

‘All Creatures Great and Small’ – Series 4 REVIEWED

   

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I’ve done it! I’ve reviewed all of Series 4 of ‘All Creatures Great and Small’. A season I barely knew about and I’ve reviewed each episode upon a first viewing on DVD (apart from the first episode of course since I saw that episode years before I watched Series 4 in its entirely on DVD lately). I’ve got three more seasons after this. I’ve enjoyed Series 4 of ‘All Creatures’, but it’s not as good as the first three seasons to be honest. Continue reading
