‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘The Caretaker’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

We’re now on the ‘Doctor Who’ episode in Series 8 of the new TV series where Danny Pink finds out that Clara Oswald is living a secret life of space-and-time travel with the Twelfth Doctor in the TARDIS. This ‘Doctor Who’ episode is called ‘The Caretaker’ by Gareth Roberts and Steven Moffat, and it’s where Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor gets to be the caretaker at Coal Hill School. It took him this long since he was Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor in ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’, but he’s finally become the caretaker at Coal Hill School at last. 😀 As well as Jenna Coleman as Clara and Samuel Anderson as Danny, there’s Ellis George as Courtney Woods, who is one of the pupils at Coal Hill School. There’s Nigel Betts as Mr. Armitage, the head teacher at Coal Hill School, and there’s Jimmy Vee as the robot-like Skovox Blitzer in the episode. Will the Twelfth Doctor accept Danny as Clara’s boyfriend in the ‘Doctor Who’ TV series? Will it be constant arguing and the Doctor utterly dismissing Danny for most of the episode? Could it mean the end of Clara’s relationship with Danny? ‘The Caretaker’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer. Continue reading

‘Star Wars’ Week – The Sequels Trilogy

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s the last day of ‘Star Wars’ week on ‘Bradley’s Basement’ in May 2022, and we conclude on what is arguably the most divisive of ‘Star Wars’ film trilogies in recent years. It’s up to you whether you like this trilogy or not. I find it pretty average compared to ‘The Mandalorian’ and ‘The Book of Boba Fett’. I just hope there’ll be better ‘Star Wars’ movies in future.
