Quick TV Review – ‘Grantchester’, Series 4, Episode 1

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

On the same night we saw the first episode of ‘Call the Midwife’, Series 8 via BBC iPlayer, my parents and I also watched the first episode of ‘Grantchester’, Series 4 via ITV Hub. Like with ‘Call the Midwife’, I’m basing my thoughts on the ‘Grantchester’ Series 4 episodes as a casual viewer and not as a regular one. Continue reading

Quick TV Review – ‘Call the Midwife’, Christmas Special 2018

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Yeah I know I said in my review for the 2017 Christmas Special that I was going to watch the 2018 series of ‘Call the Midwife’. I hoped I’d do that before watching the 2018 Christmas Special, but I haven’t had the time to catch up what I’ve missed in other ‘Call the Midwife’ seasons. Hopefully I’ll be able to watch Series 8 for 2019! Continue reading

Quick DVD Box Set Review – ‘A Family At War’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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