Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time to check out the second story in Season 2 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series on Blu-ray, and it’s a very significant story in the TV show’s history. Today, we’re checking out ‘The Dalek Invasion of Earth’, which is the second TV story to feature the evil pepperpots. William Hartnell as the First Doctor is joined by William Russell as Ian, Jacqueline Hill as Barbara and Carole Ann Ford as Susan, as they help the rebels in London on Earth in the 22nd century to battle against the Daleks, as they’ve invaded and occupied the planet for a long time. This story also features the final regular departure of Carole Ann Ford as Susan from the classic TV series. Continue reading →

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

It’s time to check out ‘Aladdin Time’ by Paul Magrs, the third ‘Serpent Crest’ story in ‘The Nest Cottage Chronicles’ of ‘Doctor Who’, starring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor and Susan Jameson as Mrs. Wibbsey. The story also features Guy Harvey as Aladdin, Sophie Ward as the Storyteller, Terrence Hardiman as the Gryphon, Andrew Sachs as the Scarf, Simon Shepherd as the Magician and Su Douglas as the Toad. Will this ‘Doctor Who’ adventure be a good take on the ‘Aladdin’ story compared to the 1992 and 2019 Disney films? 😀 Continue reading →
