‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘Asylum of the Daleks’

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

And welcome to Series 7 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. Here we are on Series 7 – Part 1, starring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond and Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams. This is what I would like to label as the Pond Season in Series 7 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. Series 7 – Part 1 depicts the five final adventures of the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory as a TARDIS trio. Will they be a satisfying final set of adventures featuring Eleven, Amy and Rory? We begin the season with ‘Asylum of the Daleks’ by Steven Moffat. This adventure features a variety of Daleks from both the classic TV series and the new TV series versions of ‘Doctor Who’. There’s also the introduction of Jenna-Louise Coleman as Oswin Oswald, whom the Doctor communicates via various intercoms throughout the adventure. Is ‘Asylum of the Daleks’ a satisfying Dalek adventure for me? Did I find it better than ‘Victory of the Daleks’ from Series 5? 😀 ‘Asylum of the Daleks’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer. Continue reading →

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘A Christmas Carol’

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for us to check out the first ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas Special that features Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor. This is ‘A Christmas Carol’ by Steven Moffat, based of course on the classic 1843 novella by Charles Dickens of the same name. 😀 The Christmas Special was shown on BBC TV on Christmas Day in 2010. As well as Matt Smith, there’s Karen Gillan as Amy Pond and Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams, who are now married in the TV series. There’s Michael Gambon (who I’ve seen in the BBC’s 1999 TV production of ‘Wives & Daughters’ and is well-known for being in the ‘Harry Potter’ films) as the Scrooge-like Kazran Sardick. And there’s Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins who makes her acting debut as Abigail. There’s also Laurence Belcher as a young Kazran and Danny Horn as a grown-up Kazran. The special also has flying giant sharks in it. 😀 ‘A Christmas Carol’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer. Continue reading →

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

And thus, we’ve come to the end of our first ‘Power Month’ review season on ‘Bradley’s Basement’. I hope you’ve enjoyed it. There’ll be a new ‘Power Month’ review season in 2024. For now, let’s close off the first ‘Power Month’ by checking out a ‘Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ episode called ‘Clean-Up Club’ where the Power Rangers team starts up a clean-up club to protect Angel Grove’s environment. But Rita Repulsa causes trouble again when she sends in her latest monster called Polluticron (seriously!) to end the five Ranger teens’ noble efforts to thwart pollution and such. 😐 Will the Rangers be able to defeat Polluticron on the ground as well as in their Dino Megazord?

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

Here we are on the penultimate day of the first ‘Power Month’ season in 2023. So, let’s check out a ‘Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ episode called ‘Birds of a Feather’, where Zack helps a student in his hip-hop martial arts class to build up his confidence by taking part in a Junior Martial Arts Competition. Zack’s student called Kameron must fight against Bulk and Skull’s kid called Biff. No, that’s not a ‘Back to the Future’ joke. That’s what he’s called. 😀 Soon, the Rangers are summoned to stop a monster called Hatchasaurus, who is being controlled by an evil heart called Cardiotron. Will Jason be able to use the Green Ranger powers to defeat Hatchasarus controlled by Cardiotron? Continue reading →
