William Russell (1924-2024)

Hello everyone.

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

I’m saddened that William Russell, who played Ian Chesterton – the first male companion in ‘Doctor Who’ in 1963 – has passed away. A couple of days ago, my parents and I were chatting about him, as we hoped he would live on to be 100 this year. Sadly, that wasn’t to be, but I’m happy that he lived a good life. Continue reading

Cinema Experience – ‘Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

For my birthday last Wednesday, I went to see a re-release of ‘Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace’ at Showcase Cinema in Nantgarw.

‘Happy Birthday to Me!’ 2024

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I’m celebrating my birthday today by sharing a birthday card I received from one of my aunts and uncles on my Dad’s side a few years ago. It’s of course a ‘Dad’s Army’ birthday card. I continue to be a fan of ‘Dad’s Army’ today, especially with enjoying the TV series on Britbox, which has now been transferred to ITVX. Continue reading
