Quick TV Episode Review – ‘Charity’ (Classic Casualty)

This is Sarah Sutton (Nyssa in ‘Doctor Who’)’s ‘Casualty’ episode! 🙂

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I don’t usually do reviews on medical dramas like ‘Casualty’, but pretty recently, at the time of this review, the classic 1989 episode (Series 4, Episode 6 to be specific) called ‘Charity’ was repeated on the Drama channel on UKTV.

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s funny how I seem to keep coming back to ‘The Three Musketeers’ by Alexandra Dumas every year. In 2021, I reviewed the 1993 film and in 2022, I reviewed the 2011 film. Both films I saw on Disney+. I’ve just finished checking out the BBC TV series ‘The Musketeers’, based on the 1844 novel. Continue reading

TV Review – ‘Call the Midwife’, Christmas Special 2022

SPOILERS ALERT!!!

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