‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – Season 10 Summary

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

In hindsight, Season 10 may not have celebrated every aspect of ‘Doctor Who’ at that point compared to Season 20 and ‘The Five Doctors’ for the 20th anniversary. In terms of celebrating the show’s 10th anniversary however, it did so rather well in style with the very first story of the season. Continue reading

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

Patrick Troughton’s third and final season as the Second Doctor in ‘Doctor Who’ – Season 6 – is arguably a bold season in the classic TV series.

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

Season 5 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series is what you might regard as ‘the monster season’, featuring Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor, Frazer Hines as Jamie and Deborah Watling as Victoria. It would have been really good if Debbie Watling had been in all seven stories of Season 5. 🙂 Continue reading

Season 4 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series is rather unusual in how it starts and how it ends. It begins with the last two stories of William Hartnell’s era as the First Doctor. The rest of the season is dedicated to Patrick Troughton’s Second Doctor. He does well in taking over from the original actor. Continue reading
