‘Neptune Connect’ – Part Four

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

‘Beast Wars’ Review #15 – ‘The Trigger’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for a two-part story in Season 1 of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’. It’s the first one in a long while since the two-part series opener in ‘Beast Wars’ at the beginning of Season 1. Let’s check out ‘The Trigger’, a ‘Beast Wars’ story that I didn’t see on GMTV in the morning in 1998, 1999 nor 2000. I saw this two-parter on ‘The Beginning’ Volume 3 VHS before eventually owning the story in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set. ‘The Trigger’ focuses on Tigatron, who ends up falling into a cloud that contains a mysterious flying island after being attacked by Terrorsaur and Waspinator. Very soon, the Predacons race to claim the island for themselves, including Blackarachnia and Scorponok. Can Optimus Primal, Rattrap, Tigatron and Airazor stop the Predacons in time from claiming the island? Continue reading

‘Beast Wars’ Review #14 – ‘The Spark’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we are on the fourteenth story/fifteenth episode of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’. It’s called ‘The Spark’. I first saw this ‘Beast Wars’ episode on GMTV in the morning on New Year’s Day in January 1999 – which was a Friday. It was the first of two ‘Beast Wars’ episodes I saw on that day. The other episode was ‘Spider’s Game’. I managed to record the episode on VHS back in 1999 before owning it on ‘The Beginning’ Volume 3 VHS and later owning it in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set. This episode introduces a new ‘Beast Wars’ character, as it involves the plot of a stasis pod crash-landing to the mysterious planet our heroes are on. The Maximals and the Predacons race to get it. Will the new protoform robot inside the stasis pod be a Maximal or a Predacon? Continue reading
