Quick Video Review – ‘Dad’s Army | VE Day 80th Anniversary Concert’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I’m currently in a ‘Dad’s Army’ mood! 😀 Back in May this year, we had the VE Day 80th anniversary celebrations in the UK. One of the celebrations shown on the BBC was a live concert called ‘VE Day 80: A Celebration to Remember’. The King and Queen attended it. 🙂 Continue reading

The ‘Chicken Run’ Movies

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I’ve seen the two ‘Chicken Run’ films over the Christmas period. These films are Aardman Animations productions. The ‘Wallace & Gromit’ films are also produced by Aardman. It was nice to check out these films, especially as I have very fond memories of the first ‘Chicken Run’ film as a kid. Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘Night Terrors’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

After ‘Let’s Kill Hitler’, it’s time for us to check out something that’s a little straightforward. 😀 Today’s ‘Doctor Who’ episode in the 60th Anniversary Marathon is called ‘Night Terrors’ (No, not the ‘Star Trek: TNG’ episode 😀 ) by Mark Gatiss. In the episode, Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond and Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams make a ‘house call’ at a council estate in Croydon. In one of the flats, there’s an eight-year-old boy named George, who’s terrified of almost everything. He especially dreads the cupboard in his bedroom. This episode features special guest star Daniel Mays as Alex, who is George’s father. Daniel Mays would later go on to play Private Walker in the 2016 ‘Dad’s Army’ film. The episode also has Amy and Rory being trapped in a doll house with some terrifying life-size peg dolls. ‘Night Terrors’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer. Continue reading

Quick Movie Review – ‘Dad’s Army’ (2016 film)

Hello everyone! 🙂

But it was worth the entertainment and there were some funny moments to enjoy from the cast in this film. Continue reading
