Children in Need night is on tomorrow in the UK! And it happens to be Pudsey Bear’s 40th birthday! To celebrate the occasion, I saw this latest video on YouTube produced by Steve Healey, starring Pudsey Bear as the Doctor from ‘Doctor Who’ with Sophie Aldred as Ace! Continue reading

For four nights over the past weekend, my Mum and I have been enjoying the last four ‘Mission: Impossible’ films directed by Christopher McQuarrie, starring Tom Cruise, at Cineworld in Cardiff. That wasn’t planned since we intended to just see two ‘M:I’ movies.

It was my Dad’s birthday recently and as a present, I gave him the 2-disc collector’s edition of the 1945 film ‘State Fair’ on DVD. This is a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical film made directly for the cinema. I’m pleased my Dad enjoyed this musical film recently. 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

To add on to the tribute I made to Prunella Scales recently, I enjoyed her in some of the Tesco adverts that I used to see as a kid when I watched kid’s TV shows in the 1990s. It’s amazing that I saw Prunella Scales in those adverts as well as Sybil in ‘Fawlty Towers’. 🙂 Continue reading

I seem to be doing quite a lot of ‘Back to the Future’ reviews this year! I mean, more than usual. Not that I’m complaining, since it’s been great to celebrate ‘Back to the Future’s 40th anniversary more than once. And that’s more than revisiting the film trilogy itself in 2025. Continue reading

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
From September to October 2025, my parents and I watched Series 6 of the new ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ TV series via Channel 5 on Thursdays for six weeks. It’s been great to return to the world of ‘All Creatures’ and continue the stories of lovely characters. Continue reading

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley.
I’d like to pay tribute to three people that we sadly lost this year – Christopher Hamilton Bidmead, Nabil Shaban and Prunella Scale. I never got to meet these three in real life, sadly, but I have enjoyed their contributions to certain TV shows I’ve watched many times. Continue reading

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
We come now to the penultimate story in Season 1 of the ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ TV series called ‘Before the Storm’. This is a prelude to the two-part finale ‘Other Voices’. In this episode, an alien golden disc is discovered and Megatron establishes a truce between the Maximals and the Predacons. Optimus Primal and the Maximals work on finding out what Megatron has discovered, but they need to do it via peaceful means. I never saw this episode on TV back in the 1990s via GMTV, which is a shame. But I’m pleased to have seen it in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set for Christmas in December 2011. Things that were established in episodes like ‘Chain of Command’ and ‘The Trigger’ are built upon and come to together in the concluding story of Season 1 of ‘Beast Wars’. Is ‘Before the Storm’ a worthy prelude to what’s to come in the two-part finale of Season 1 of the ‘Beast Wars’ TV series? Continue reading
