Hello everyone! 🙂

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

As many of us are still coping with the situation of the coronavirus – please keep safe – here’s my review on the Target novelization/audiobook of ‘The Chase’ by John Peel. ‘The Chase’ is one of my favourite ‘Doctor Who’ stories from the William Hartnell era.
