Hello everyone! 🙂
Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
Last weekend, I spent a couple of days in London, which included enjoying a couple of stage shows. The first of the stage shows was seeing ‘Fawlty Towers – The Play’ again at the Apollo Theatre. I had a great time attending this play a second time in August 2025. 🙂 Continue reading

Here we are on the fourteenth story/fifteenth episode of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’. It’s called ‘The Spark’. I first saw this ‘Beast Wars’ episode on GMTV in the morning on New Year’s Day in January 1999 – which was a Friday. It was the first of two ‘Beast Wars’ episodes I saw on that day. The other episode was ‘Spider’s Game’. I managed to record the episode on VHS back in 1999 before owning it on ‘The Beginning’ Volume 3 VHS and later owning it in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set. This episode introduces a new ‘Beast Wars’ character, as it involves the plot of a stasis pod crash-landing to the mysterious planet our heroes are on. The Maximals and the Predacons race to get it. Will the new protoform robot inside the stasis pod be a Maximal or a Predacon? Continue reading

I’m currently checking out a trio of theatre productions. One in Cardiff, which I saw on Wednesday evening, and two in London for this weekend. The first theatre production I’ve seen this week is a stage adaptation of the 2011 novel called ‘Death Comes to Pemberley’. Continue reading

I’ve checked out and reviewed the 1995 abridged audiobook of the Target novelization of the ‘Doctor Who’ story ‘Warriors of the Deep’ by Terrance Dicks, read by Peter Davison, who plays the Fifth Doctor in the TV series and the Big Finish audios. The audiobook is included in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS, Volume Two’ collection via Audible. The story features the Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Turlough as well as the Silurians, the Sea Devils and the Myrka. Continue reading

I’ve seen the latest ‘Fantastic Four’ film at the cinema, ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’, which is part of the ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’ film series. I greatly enjoyed seeing the film, and I found it a better movie experience compared to seeing the 2025 ‘Superman’ film. Continue reading

For the past twenty weeks (it might be more than that, but who’s counting?), I’ve been revisiting Season 1 of ‘Monsters at Work’ and checked out Season 2 on Disney+. I’ve greatly enjoyed seeing every episode, especially the ones in the latest season from 2024. Continue reading

Let’s check out the thirteenth story/fourteenth episode of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ called ‘Double Dinobot’. The first time I saw this episode was after seeing ‘Dark Designs’ on Monday the 28th of December during the Christmas holidays in 1998. I later saw a repeat of ‘Double Dinobot’ over the Christmas holidays in December 1998. The first time I saw the episode, I recorded it on VHS before owning the episode on ‘The Beginning’ Volume 3 VHS and later owning it in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set. In the episode, Megatron creates an evil clone of Dinobot to infiltrate the Maximals’ base. The only problem is, it can’t transform. Will the Maximals be fooled by the clone Dinobot and its lies? Will the two Dinobots actually meet in the episode? Continue reading

I’ve recently checked out the Target novelization/audiobook of the ‘Doctor Who’ story ‘Warriors of the Deep’ by Terrance Dicks, based on the TV scripts by Johnny Byrne. This story features the Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Turlough who visit Sea Base 4 in the year 2084 and they find themselves battling against the Silurians, the Sea Devils and the Myrka. ‘Warriors of the Deep’ is the third story in the ‘Beneath the Surface’ trilogy of the classic TV series. I’ve enjoyed checking out the Target novelization, along with the 2023 unabridged audiobook read by Janet Fielding, who plays Tegan in the TV series and the Big Finish audios of ‘Doctor Who’.

It’s taken me a while, but I’ve finally seen the sixth and presumably final instalment in ‘Sony’s Spider-Man Universe’ film series – ‘Kraven the Hunter’. I had this film on DVD for my birthday back in May. I revisited the previous five ‘SSU’ instalments recently before seeing this film. Continue reading

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
We’re now on the twelfth story/thirteenth episode of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ called ‘Dark Designs’. I saw this episode along with another one called ‘Double Dinobot’ on Monday the 28th of December during the Christmas holidays in 1998. This is a compelling episode where the Maximal named Rhinox gets reprogrammed into a Predacon by Megatron. But it turns out Megatron may have got ‘a little more than he bargained for’, according to Optimus Primal, as Rhinox starts turning the Predacons’ base upside down once he’s become a Predacon. I recorded this episode on VHS tape back in December 1998 before owning the episode on ‘The Beginning’ Volume 2 VHS and owning it in the 15th anniversary DVD box set of ‘Beast Wars’. Continue reading
