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

It’s the season finale of Series 9 and the last episode of the three-episode story arc in ‘Doctor Who’. It’s time for ‘Hell Bent’ and it features the Doctor’s return back to Gallifrey? But was the Doctor’s return to Gallifrey worthwhile? Did Clara really die? Is Ashildr the so-called hybrid? My review details the confusion I have. 😀 Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Heaven Sent’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Today it’s the second episode of the three-episode finale of Series 9 in ‘Doctor Who’.

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Sleep No More’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we come to what I consider to be a low-point in Series 9 of ‘Doctor Who’. This is ‘Sleep No More’ by Mark Gatiss. This is an interesting if unusual experiment of a ‘Doctor Who’ episode based on the concept of found footage. This episode doesn’t work for me to my tastes. My review explains why that is. Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘The Girl Who Died’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This ‘Doctor Who’ episode features the first appearance of Maisie Williams (from ‘Game of Thrones’) as Ashildr. This could’ve been the beginning of a great story arc featuring Ashildr as a ‘Doctor Who’ character with Peter Capald’s Doctor and Jenna Coleman’s Clara. Well…it does starts okay in this episode. Continue reading
