CD Review – ‘The Silver Turk’ (Doctor Who)

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

With Series 12 of ‘Doctor Who’ nearly upon us and the fact that the Cybermen and Mary Shelley are going to be in it, you have to wonder whether a ‘Doctor Who’ story with Cybermen and Mary Shelley ever happened before…yes it did! It’s time for ‘The Silver Turk’ starring Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor and Julie Cox as Mary Shelley. Check out my review for this story before Series 12 comes along. 🙂 Continue reading

Cinema Experience – ‘Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan’

SPOILERS ALERT!!!

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s amazing to think how much time has passed since I saw this movie on DVD in 2004! I saw ‘Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan’ recently on the big screen at my local Showcase Cinema in Nantgarw. This was a limited re-release and I would be mad not to miss out seeing this film on the big screen here! 🙂 Continue reading

Week 3 – ‘Star Wars Review Season’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

And welcome back everyone to the ‘Star Wars Review Season’!

It’s now time to take a look at one of the most notorious things ever created in the ‘Star Wars’ franchise – the ‘Star Wars Holiday Special’! This is a TV special that was shown only once on US TV and is disregarded by the majority of ‘Star Wars’ fans as well as ‘Star Wars’ creator George Lucas himself. Continue reading

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

And here we are once again with another ‘convention memories’ blog post for today! I attended a pretty fruitful amount of conventions in 2011.

For my last convention in 2011, I attended the ‘Memorabilia Birmingham’ event at the NEC. Continue reading

I wrote this story in the months of June and July 2019. It has been a pretty exciting story to write and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it! Continue reading

Week 2 – ‘Star Wars Review Season’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

And welcome once again to the ‘Star Wars Review Season’!

Today, we’re taking a look at the latest ‘Star Wars’ anthology film that was released in May 2018 – ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’. This is a ‘Star Wars’ film that’s pretty underrated. It was the most expensive ever made to date out of the franchise and it was a box office disaster when released at cinemas. Continue reading
