‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – Reflection on the Seventh Doctor

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Like the Colin Baker/Sixth Doctor era, the Sylvester McCoy/Seventh Doctor era of ‘Doctor Who’ is arguably one of the shortest eras in the series. This was due to the increasing pressure made by the BBC in terms of scheduling the TV programme that eventually led to the show’s cancellation in 1989. Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – Reflection on the Sixth Doctor

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Many would argue that Colin Baker’s era as the Sixth Doctor is one of the shortest eras in ‘Doctor Who’, especially since he did at least two seasons in the TV series. Thankfully, Colin Baker has been able to make so many ‘Doctor Who’ stories through the Big Finish audios compared to the TV series. Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – Reflection on the Fifth Doctor

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Even though I was introduced to Christopher Eccleston’s Ninth Doctor and David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor in the TV series, the Peter Davison/Fifth Doctor era of ‘Doctor Who’ is the one that won me over as my absolute favourite. This is evident in the TV stories and the Big Finish audios I’ve enjoyed. Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – Reflection on the Fourth Doctor

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

When I chat to some people who have seen ‘Doctor Who’, very often they would say Tom Baker is their Doctor. With the long scarf, his bonkers eccentric humour and being ‘teeth and curls’, Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor has made a significant impact on the series, having played the role for seven years. 🙂 Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – Reflection on the Third Doctor

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Let me share with you what I think of the Jon Pertwee/Third Doctor era of ‘Doctor Who’ overall. For me, this is where the Doctor’s connections to Earth become more prominent. This is especially when he’s been exiled to Earth by the Time Lords for most of his tenure during his first three TV seasons. 🙂 Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – Reflection on the Second Doctor

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time to talk about how I view Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor in ‘Doctor Who’. Of course, Patrick Troughton had the challenge of taking over from William Hartnell as the Doctor. He did well with the take-over. ‘Doctor Who’ wouldn’t be where it is today without Patrick Troughton. 🙂 Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – Reflection on the First Doctor

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

As we concluded the William Hartnell era of ‘Doctor Who’ TV stories yesterday, it’s time to share some thoughts on what I think of William Hartnell as the First Doctor overall. William Hartnell was my Dad’s Doctor when he saw the TV show back in 1963 and he recalls seeing the Daleks on TV very vividly. Continue reading
