“Merry Christmas Sarah!” 🙂
To celebrate Sarah Sutton (Nyssa in ‘Doctor Who’) on Christmas Day today, I’ve shared a brand-new YouTube video compilation containing six audio interviews that I’ve conducted with Sarah at six conventions from 2023 to 2025. I’m very pleased I’ve been able to put this video together. Continue reading

As part of the 62nd anniversary celebrations of ‘Doctor Who’ on ‘Bradley’s Basement’, I’ve decided to share a brand-new video containing my quick reactions to Series 15 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, originally recorded from December 2024 to June 2025. This is like the longest compilation video I’ve ever put together, as its runtime is about 1 hour and 32 minutes. So, it’s like watching a movie for an hour and a half. You’ll need to have about 92 minutes to check out this video in full. 😀 Continue reading

As well as Christmas, I’ve had opportunities to celebrate Easter on my blog over the years, either in late March and early April or just in April. Easter means a lot to me, especially when celebrating the Easter story, which I’ve been able to share annually on my blog. Continue reading

And here we are on the twelfth and final instalment of the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection of ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories called ‘Old Flames’ by Paul Magrs. The story features the Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane. It also features the ‘Doctor Who’ debut of Iris Wildthyme, a character who made her debut in three ‘Phoenix Court’ novels published by Vintage Books in the 1990s. She’s currently played by Katy Manning in the Big Finish audios. ‘Old Flames’ is read by Nicholas Courtney, who played the Brigadier in the ‘Doctor Who’ TV series and the Big Finish audios. As well as the twelfth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection, it’s the sixth story in the ‘Short Trips’ audio anthology produced by the BBC. It’s also the second story in the ‘Short Trips’ 1998 book collection by the BBC, which I reviewed in my ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season for Easter from March to April 2024. Continue reading

Let’s check out the eleventh and penultimate story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection of ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories called ‘Stop the Pigeon’ by Robert Perry and Mike Tucker. The story features the Seventh Doctor and Ace. It also features the Tremas Master, as played by Anthony Ainley, as well as a Krynoid and a talking pigeon. 😀 The story is read by Sophie Aldred, who plays Ace in the ‘Doctor Who’ TV series and the Big Finish audios. As well as the eleventh story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection, it’s the fifth story in the ‘Short Trips’ audio anthology produced by the BBC. It’s also the fifth story in the ‘Short Trips’ 1998 book collection by the BBC, which I reviewed in my ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season for Easter from March to April 2024. Apparently, the prose version of ‘Stop the Pigeon’ is longer than the audio version of the story. 😀 Continue reading

Today, it’s time to check out the tenth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection of ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories. I’m sharing my brand-new review on the short story called ‘Degrees of Truth’, which was originally featured as the fourth story in the ‘Short Trips’ audio anthology, based on the 1998 book version of the ‘Short Trips’ anthology. Like ‘Vigil’, ‘Degrees of Truth’ is exclusive only to audio and was never printed in any book anthology since then. The story is by David A. McIntee and is read by Nicholas Courtney. It also features the Third Doctor and the Brigadier, and it tackles the death of one of the U.N.I.T. soldiers that was killed during the events of ‘The Dæmons’. Was this story worth my attention in revisiting ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’? Continue reading

Here we are on the ninth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection of ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories called ‘Glass’ by Tara Samms, which is actually a pseudonym for Stephen Cole. The story features the Fourth Doctor and the second Romana, and is read by Sophie Aldred. As well as the ninth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection, it’s the third story in the ‘Short Trips’ audio anthology produced by the BBC. It’s also the seventh story in the ‘Short Trips’ 1998 book collection by the BBC, which I reviewed in my ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season for Easter from March to April 2024. Believe it or not, ‘Glass’ is a follow-up to the original ‘Doctor Who’ TV story ‘Shada’, which was completed in 2017 and 2021. Continue reading

Today, we’re taking a look at the eighth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection of ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories called ‘Model Train Set’ by Jonathan Blum. This story features the Eighth Doctor only and is read by Sophie Aldred, who plays Ace in the ‘Doctor Who’ TV series and the Big Finish audios. As well as the eighth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection, it’s the second story in the ‘Short Trips’ audio anthology produced by the BBC. It’s also the first story in the ‘Short Trips’ 1998 book collection by the BBC, which I reviewed in my ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season for Easter from March to April 2024. I believe ‘Model Train Set’ is the only story in the first ‘Short Trips’ collection by the BBC to have an unabridged audiobook reading. Continue reading
