Series 14 of ‘Doctor Who’ with Ncuti Gatwa on Blu-ray #7

– – – BRAND NEW REVIEW – – –

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s an epic in-depth ‘Doctor Who’ review by me today! 😀 Today, it’s time to check out the seventh and final story of Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. It’s time for the two-part finale ‘The Legend of Ruby Sunday’/’Empire of Death’ by Russell T. Davies. This story also features the return of Bonnie Langford as Melanie Bush, Jemma Redgrave as Kath Lethbridge-Stewart, Yasmin Finney as Rose Noble and the rest of the U.N.I.T. team for the neo-RTD era (except for Ruth Madeley as Shirley Ann Bingham, which is a shame – this will be explained in the review itself). I saw ‘The Legend of Ruby Sunday’ on TV on the 15th of June 2024 and I saw both ‘The Legend of Ruby Sunday’ and ‘Empire of Death’ at the cinema at midnight from the 21st leading into the 22nd June 2024. I did spoiler-free reactions on both ‘The Legend of Ruby Sunday’ and ‘Empire of Death’ at the time of seeing the episodes back in June 2024. What more do I have to say about this two-part finale in Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series? Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘Destination: Skaro’, ‘The Star Beast’, ‘Wild Blue Yonder’ and ‘The Giggle’

– – – BRAND NEW REVIEWS – – –

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This is probably what you’ve been looking forward to. 😀 Welcome to the David Tennant/Fourteenth Doctor era of ‘Doctor Who’ in the ‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon on ‘Bradley’s Basement’. This consists of the 60th anniversary specials that were shown on BBC TV in the UK and on Disney+ in other parts of the world from November to December 2023. There’s the mini-episode ‘Destination: Skaro’, which was shown on Children in Need night in November 2023, and there’s the three 60th anniversary specials themselves, including ‘The Star Beast’, ‘Wild Blue Yonder’ and ‘The Giggle’. All the specials are by Russell T. Davies (with ‘The Star Beast’ being from a story by Pat Mills and Dave Gibbons), and they star David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor and Catherine Tate as Donna Noble. There are also special guest stars like Neil Patrick Harris as the Toymaker and Yasmin Finney as Rose Noble, Donna’s daughter. There was a lot of hype in the build-up to the 60th anniversary specials on TV. Afterwards, lots of ‘Doctor Who’ fans and audience members have found them satisfying. Where do I stand on this? Did the 60th anniversary specials of ‘Doctor Who’ by RTD fulfil my expectations? ‘Destination: Skaro’ can be checked out on BBC iPlayer or YouTube, and ‘The Star Beast’, ‘Wild Blue Yonder’ and ‘The Giggle’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer in the UK or on DVD, Blu-ray and Disney+ in other parts of the world.
