Quick Blu-ray Review – ‘Doctor Who Am I’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I’ve seen the latest documentary film ‘Doctor Who Am I’! 🙂 I’ve been meaning to check this out for quite some time since I got the Blu-ray for Christmas last year. This is a good place to talk about the documentary film in the Paul McGann/Eighth Doctor era of the ‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon. Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘The TV Movie’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for us to check out the Paul McGann/Eighth Doctor era, which is technically the shortest-lived ‘Doctor Who’ era ever on TV. Thankfully, Paul McGann’s Eighth Doctor has had a long life in the Big Finish audios. 😀 Let’s check out ‘The TV Movie’, which was shown on UK and USA TV in May 1996. The ‘Doctor Who’ TV Movie is by Matthew Jacobs and was directed by Geoffrey Sax. As well as Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, there’s Daphne Ashbrook as Grace Holloway, Yee Jee Tso as Chang Lee and Eric Roberts as the Master. This story also features the regeneration between Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor into Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor. ‘The TV Movie’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and Britbox.

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

And here we are at the end of ‘The Divergent Universe’ season of ‘Doctor Who’! It’s time to check out the eighth and final story of this season of Big Finish audios called ‘The Next Life’, starring Paul McGann as the Doctor, India Fisher as Charley and Conrad Westmaas as C’rizz. The story also features special guest stars Daphne Ashbrook as Perfection, Paul Darrow as Guidance and Don Warrington as Rassilon. I’m also joined in this review by fellow ‘Doctor Who’ fan and supporter of ‘Bradley’s Basement’Timelord007! 🙂 Continue reading

Quick DVD Review – ‘The Doctors: The Paul McGann Years’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we are on the last set of ‘Myth Makers’ interviews compilation DVDs that I had for Christmas 2020. This time, it’s ‘The Doctors: The Paul McGann Years’! It’s unusual as Paul McGann had a short TV tenure playing the Eighth Doctor with doing ‘The TV Movie’ in 1996. But of course, a lot has happened since then as Paul has done plenty of Big Finish audios and did ‘The Night of the Doctor’. 🙂 Continue reading

Convention Report – ‘Dimensions 2015’

Hello everyone! 🙂

As I mentioned in a previous post on my blog, I’ve been away for the weekend attending the ‘Doctor Who’ convention ‘Dimensions 2015’ in Newcastle. It was a three-day convention, but I attended the Saturday only. This was because Newcastle was a long way from Cardiff and I wanted to save money. Continue reading
