‘Tales From The TARDIS’ Review – ‘Glass’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

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

‘Tales From The TARDIS’ Review – ‘Model Train Set’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

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

Quick Disney+ Series Review – ‘Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’

SPOILERS ALERT!!!

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s been a while since I did a review on an original Disney+ series, isn’t it? For the past ten weeks, I’ve enjoyed watching the latest ‘Spider-Man’ animated series on Disney+ called ‘Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’. This 10-episode series has been compelling! 🙂 Continue reading

‘Tales From The TARDIS’ Review – ‘Vigil’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we are on Easter Tuesday today. It’s time to check out the sixth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection of ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories. Here’s my brand-new review on ‘Vigil’, the third and final story in the ‘Out of the Darkness’ audio anthology, featuring the Sixth Doctor and Peri. The story is by Michael Collier, which happens to be a pseudonym of Stephen Cole, a regular ‘Doctor Who’ writer in books and audios. ‘Vigil’, read by Nicola Bryant, is quite unique, as it’s the only audio story exclusive in the ‘Out of the Darkness’ anthology, since it was never printed in any book anthology like ‘Moon Graffiti’ and ‘Wish You Were Here’ were. I found ‘Vigil’ a fascinating audio story to check out in ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’. Continue reading

Disney Film Review – ‘Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

As promised, here’s my brand-new in-depth review on an Easter film, which I first saw on Disney+ last year. It’s time to check out the 2004 film ‘Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo’. This is the first time I’ve done an in-depth review on a ‘Winnie the Pooh’ film, especially one featuring Pooh and his friends in the Disney sense. This is following on from my quick reviews on ‘Winnie the Pooh’ films produced by Disney like ‘The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh’, the 2018 film ‘Christopher Robin’, ‘Pooh’s Grand Adventure: The Search For Christopher Robin’ and of course ‘Springtime with Roo’.

‘Tales From The TARDIS’ Review – ‘Wish You Were Here’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s Easter Monday today, and we’re continuing my latest Easter review season on the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection of ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories. Today, it’s time for the story ‘Wish You Were Here’ by Guy Clapperton, featuring the Sixth Doctor, and read by Colin Baker. This is the fifth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection. It’s also the second story in the ‘Out of the Darkness’ audio anthology and it’s the thirteenth story in the ‘Short Trips’ 1998 book collection by the BBC. I reviewed the ‘Short Trips’ 1998 book collection in my ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season for Easter from March to April 2024. It’s been nice to revisit ‘Wish You Were Here’ in audio form in 2025. 🙂 Continue reading

‘Tales From The TARDIS’ Review – ‘Moon Graffiti’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Hope you’re enjoying Easter Sunday so far! Today in my Easter review season on the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection of ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories, I’m sharing my review on the story ‘Moon Graffiti’ by Dave Stone, featuring the Sixth Doctor and Peri, and read by Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant. As well as the fourth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection, ‘Moon Graffiti’ is the first story in the ‘Out of the Darkness’ audio anthology, featuring the Sixth Doctor and Peri. It’s also the fourth story in the ‘More Short Trips’ book collection, which I reviewed in my ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season for Easter from March to April 2024. I didn’t think I’d be revisiting ‘Moon Graffiti’ and re-sharing my review on it so soon. 😀 Continue reading
