The Journey of Richard E. Grant in the Ncuti Gatwa era of ‘Doctor Who’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I’ve put together a video containing my reactions to Omega’s return to the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series in the two-part finale of Series 15 called ‘Wish World’/’The Reality War’. This includes my reaction to the announcement of his return in ‘Wish World’ and my reaction to his reveal in ‘The Reality War’.

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Yes, I know. I’ve talked about ‘Fawlty Towers – The Play’ twice already having seen it twice in the Apollo Theatre in London back in February and August this year. But recently, a special recording of the theatre play was shown on TV via U&Gold, which is pretty amazing. Continue reading

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Last weekend, I attended ‘Film & Comic Con Cardiff’ at the Utilita Arena (formerly the Motorpoint Arena – Why did the name have to change?). It was a two-day event from Saturday 18th to Sunday 19th October, but I attended just the Saturday. I had a good time. 🙂 Continue reading

Season 25 of ‘Doctor Who’ with Sylvester McCoy on Blu-ray #3

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for us to check out the third story in Season 25 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Sophie Aldred as Ace. Today, it’s time for ‘Silver Nemesis’, which is the actual 25th anniversary story of the season and it features the return of the Cybermen as well as featuring neo-Nazis, Lady Peinforte and Richard. I’ve updated and extended my thoughts on the story, based on my revisit of ‘Silver Nemesis’ via the Season 25 Blu-ray box set. ‘Silver Nemesis’ is a three-part adventure by Kevin Clarke. For the Season 25 Blu-ray box set, there are four versions of the story, including the original three-part story, the three-part Special Edition version, the 55-minute Special Edition omnibus version and the three-part extended VHS version from 1993.

‘Beast Wars’ Review #20 – ‘The Low Road’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we are again with another ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ episode from Season 1 of the TV series in October 2025! 🙂 This is a rather unusual ‘Beast Wars’ episode, as it features Rhinox being infected with a deadly virus by Tarantulas. Dinobot and Rhinox must work together to locate the counter-virus and save Rhinox. Sounds like a typical filler episode in the ‘Beast Wars’ series, right? Well, what I found unusual about this episode is the tone that it goes for, especially when it becomes more humourous and it’s not so dramatic. Does that make the viewing experience worthwhile? I saw this episode for the first time in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set for Christmas in December 2011. It’s been great to revisit some ‘Beast Wars’ episodes I didn’t see from the 1990s via the 15th anniversary DVD box set in 2011. Does ‘The Low Road’ bring back happy memories for me when I first saw it on DVD back in 2011? Continue reading

Hello everyone! 🙂

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