Happy 62nd Anniversary, ‘Doctor Who’! 🙂
And what better way to celebrate the occasion by sharing my latest convention report on ‘London Comic Con Winter 2025’, which I attended last weekend. The convention ran for two days from Saturday 15th to Sunday 16th of November. I attended the Saturday only. 🙂 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

It’s the last Big Finish audio review for this week to celebrate the 62nd anniversary of ‘Doctor Who’. What better way to finish it off than by checking out the second audio adventure starring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose Tyler in ‘The Ninth Doctor Adventures’ by Big Finish. It’s time for ‘The Last Days of the Powell Estate’ by Timothy X Atack. Hopefully, I’ll be back to check out more Ninth Doctor and Rose audio stories as well as more Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz audio stories in the New Year, once I’ve sorted out my ‘Nyssa Challenge’ reviews for this year as well as upcoming in-depth reviews on Series 14 and 15 of the new TV series with Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor.

It’s time to check out the second audio story in ‘The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures’ of ‘Doctor Who’ by Big Finish called ‘The Return of the Doctor’, starring Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor and Mandip Gill as Yasmin Khan. I’m currently enjoying the latest Big Finish audios of ‘Doctor Who’ featuring the Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz. I’m not planning to check out and do a review on the third audio story ‘Lionesses in Winter’ before the end of this year. I’m likely to check that out audio story along with the rest of ‘The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures’ sometime next year. Mind you, I might slip in ‘Lionesses in Winter’ as part of my Christmas schedule, since it’s considered a Christmas Special. 🙂 Continue reading

After checking out ‘Vampire Weekend’, the first of ‘The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures’ of ‘Doctor Who’ by Big Finish, starring Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill, it’s time to check out the first of ‘The Ninth Doctor Adventures’ starring Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper. I’m pleased to be making a start on checking out these audios at last, especially as they’re for eras of ‘Doctor Who’ that I personally love. The Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper era of ‘Doctor Who’ is particularly special for me, since it was the first era for me to be introduced to in the new TV series. I’m glad Chris Eccleston and Billie Piper have reunited to do more ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories as the Ninth Doctor and Rose. Continue reading

This year, it’s the 62nd anniversary of ‘Doctor Who’! 🙂 To celebrate the occasion and in the build-up to the 62nd anniversary on the 23rd of November, I’ve decided to check out the latest Big Finish audios of ‘Doctor Who’ featuring the Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz as well as the Ninth Doctor and Rose. I’ve been meaning to check out these Big Finish audio adventures for quite some time, but I’ve been busy with updating my ‘Doctor Who’ reviews on the stories in Seasons 20 and 25 of the classic TV series, based on their ‘Collection’ Blu-ray box sets. Thankfully, I can find some time to check out and listen to some of the latest Big Finish audio stories to review on my blog. Continue reading

It’s time to start checking out Season 2 of the ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ TV series. In the first episode of Season 2 of ‘Beast Wars’ called ‘Aftermath’, we see numerous changes made to the TV show’s cast line-up, both on the Maximal and the Predacon sides. Following on from the end of ‘Other Voices’ in Season 1, the Maximals and the Predacons find themselves in trouble when a quantum surge hits the mysterious planet they’re on. This episode is where we’re introduced the new Transmetal forms of some of our characters. I recall purchasing the toy versions of the Transmetal ‘Beast Wars’ characters when I was getting into the TV show as a kid. Such happy, exciting times for me as a kid in the late 1990s. 🙂 The first time I saw this ‘Beast Wars’ episode was on Easter Monday in April 1999. I recorded it on VHS and saw it umpteen times. Is this episode a good follow-up to the end of ‘Other Voices’ as well as the beginning to Season 2 of ‘Beast Wars’? Continue reading

Here we are! We’ve made it! This is the two-part finale of Season 1 of the ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ TV series. This is ‘Other Voices’, a two-part story featuring the Maximals and the Predacons in a battle against time, as the mysterious aliens with their strange artefacts on this mysterious planet come with the intention of destroying their ‘experiment’, thanks to the Beast Wars taking place. Optimus Primal must find a way to stop the aliens from destroying the planet completely as well as the Maximals, Predacons and other living beings. Will it mean having to self-sacrifice himself in the process? I first saw this two-part story on Good Friday in April 1999 via GMTV. I rewatched it numerous times, especially as it’s a very dramatic close to Season 1 and it features a shocking cliffhanger. What is it about this two-part finale that traumatised me as a young kid when I saw it over the Easter holidays in 1999, especially since I recorded it on VHS tape? Continue reading

No sooner have I done a blog post about me revisiting the first ‘Back to the Future’ film at the cinema recently, here I am again with another ‘Back to the Future’ blog post! 😀 This time however, I’m sharing my thoughts on the ‘Back to the Future, Part II’ movie novelization by Craig Shaw Gardner, based on the screenplay by producer Bob Gale and on the story by director Robert Zemeckis and producer Bob Gale. I’ve greatly enjoyed checking out this book. 🙂 Continue reading
