Week 12d – ‘The Nyssa Challenge’

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

At last! I’m up to date with checking out the latest Big Finish audios of ‘Doctor Who’ featuring Sarah Sutton as Nyssa in this year’s ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season from December 2025 to January 2026. And I’ve checked out the most epic Big Finish audio story of ‘Doctor Who’ ever made, which is spread out across two box sets, both on CD and as a download. It’s time for ‘Hooklight’, an epic 12-part ‘Doctor Who’ audio adventure by Tim Foley, starring Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, Sarah Sutton as Nyssa, Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka and Matthew Waterhouse as Adric. I’m so pleased I’ve been able to check out and do a brand-new review on the epic 12-part story at last! Continue reading →

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

Happy 62nd Anniversary, ‘Doctor Who’!

I wasn’t planning on sharing a specific blog post to celebrate ‘Doctor Who’s 62nd anniversary, as it was just going to be my convention report on ‘London Comic Con Winter 2025’ to celebrate the occasion. But then I thought, let’s do a proper blog post! 🙂 Continue reading →

‘Tales From The TARDIS’ Review – ‘Model Train Set’

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Today, we’re taking a look at the eighth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection of ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories called ‘Model Train Set’ by Jonathan Blum. This story features the Eighth Doctor only and is read by Sophie Aldred, who plays Ace in the ‘Doctor Who’ TV series and the Big Finish audios. As well as the eighth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume One’ collection, it’s the second story in the ‘Short Trips’ audio anthology produced by the BBC. It’s also the first story in the ‘Short Trips’ 1998 book collection by the BBC, which I reviewed in my ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season for Easter from March to April 2024. I believe ‘Model Train Set’ is the only story in the first ‘Short Trips’ collection by the BBC to have an unabridged audiobook reading. Continue reading →
