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

For the first time ever, we have a ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season over the Easter period of 2024! 😀 This was supposed to be ‘The Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season from December 2023 to January 2024, but because of the busyness of 2023, thanks to ‘Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary celebrations, I wasn’t able to find the time to put it together, which is a shame.
