Hello everyone! 🙂
Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
One of the things I’m very pleased about in terms of an achievement in early 2022, is the fact that I was able to do in-depth reviews on the live-action ‘Transformers’ movies up until that point, including the five films directed by Michael Bay, which I found rather gruelling. Continue reading

I started going to conventions in February 2010 with ‘Fifth Element’ at Chiswick in London. It’s amazing to think that I’ve been to so many conventions over the years and have interacted with many celebrities who’ve been in ‘Doctor Who’ as well as the fans. Continue reading

One of my biggest achievements on ‘Bradley’s Basement’, and it’s probably the main reason why my blog has lasted for 10 years, is the fact I’ve created ‘Doctor Who’ timelines for almost every character that appears in the TV series – both classic and new. Continue reading

I’ve checked out and reviewed the 1997 abridged audiobook of the Target novelization of the ‘Doctor Who’ story ‘Vengeance on Varos’ by Philip Martin, read by Colin Baker, who plays the Sixth 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 Sixth Doctor and Peri as well as the greedy Sil. Continue reading

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
It’s time for us to delve into the Target novelization/audiobook of the ‘Doctor Who’ story ‘Vengeance on Varos’ by Philip Martin, based on the original TV scripts. The Target novelization was published in June 1988, three years after the TV story was transmitted in January 1985. The story features the Sixth Doctor and Peri where they visit Varos and encounter the slimy Sil. I’ve greatly enjoyed checking out the Target novelization, along with the 2019 unabridged audiobook read by Martin Jarvis, who played the Governor in the TV story. Over the years, I’ve considered ‘Vengeance on Varos’ a decent ‘Doctor Who’ story featuring themes of how violence can used as entertainment for TV audiences. Continue reading

Today, it’s Bank Holiday Monday in August 2025 in the UK (England, Wales and Northern Ireland to be precise). And it’s time to check out another exciting episode in Season 1 of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’. Today, we’re checking out ‘Call of the Wild’, an episode that I saw on ‘The Beginning’ Volume 3 VHS release, not on GMTV. 😀 This episode has the Maximals, including Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Rhinox, Dinobot and Rattrap struggling to overcome their beast personas when they’re forced to stay in beast mode after the Predacons attacked their base and stole their rectifier coil, which is meant to shield our heroes from Energon inside the Maximals’ base. Once the Maximals have succumbed to their animal personas, Megatron leads a hunt. Tigatron and Airazor must do all they can to help their Maximal comrades. I’m very pleased I saw this episode on ‘The Beginning’ Volume 3 VHS as well as in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set, which I purchased for Christmas in December 2011. Continue reading

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
We’re back to single episodes for a while in Season 1 of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’. It’s time to check out the second of two episodes that I saw on New Year’s Day in January 1999 in the morning via GMTV. The first episode was ‘The Spark’, which introduced Airazor as a new Maximal character. Today’s episode is ‘Spider’s Game’, which introduces a new Predacon character in the form of Inferno. I didn’t get to record the full episode of ‘Spider’s Game’ on VHS back on New Year’s Day in January 1999, as I recorded only the first half of the episode, having run out of tape. I did get to see the full episode on ‘The Beginning’ Volume 3 VHS and later owned the episode in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set. This episode showcases Tarantulas and Blackarchnia as the two spider Predacons when they get to team up. Continue reading

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley.
At long last! I’ve finished uploading my latest ‘Doctor Who’ story called ‘Neptune Connect’ on ‘Bradley’s Basement’. I apologise that this has taken me longer than I intended, but I’ve been sidetracked with other projects and there has been a lot to edit and improve upon with sharing the story online compared to when I first wrote it back in 2014. Anyway, here it is! Today, I’m sharing ‘Part Four’ of ‘Neptune Connect’ in ‘The Fifth Doctor by Tim Bradley’ series. I’m very pleased I’ve been able to complete this epic ‘Doctor Who’ story featuring the Fifth Doctor, Nyssa and Billy battling against the Cybermen in San Francisco in the year 2054. Continue reading
