Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
This formed as Reaction #3 in my Quick Reactions video to ‘The Reality War’, the second part of the two-part finale of Series 15 of ‘Doctor Who’ called ‘Wish World’/’The Reality War’. Basically, it’s me doing a comedic summary of the ‘Doctor Who’ story ‘Time and the Rani’, starring Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, Bonnie Langford as Mel and Kate O’Mara as the Rani.

For my birthday, I received ‘The War Games in Colour’ on DVD, which I’m very pleased to have. I have shared my thoughts on the colourisation of ‘The War Games’ back in December 2024 when it came out on BBC Four. So, I don’t need to share them again here. Continue reading

Does this count as a proper ‘Doctor Who’ story? 😐 I don’t know, but I’m going to include it in my 60th Anniversary Marathon anyway. It’s time for ‘Dimensions In Time’, the 30th anniversary story that was released on Children In Need night back in November 1993. It’s a two-part adventure by John Nathan-Turner and David Roden, starring Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor, Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor, Sophie Aldred as Ace, Carole Ann Ford as Susan, Deborah Watling as Victoria, Nicholas Courtney as the Brigadier, Caroline John as Liz, Richard Franklin as Mike Yates, Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane, Louise Jameson as Leela, K-9, voiced by John Leeson, Lalla Ward as Romana, Sarah Sutton as Nyssa, Nicola Bryant as Peri and Bonnie Langford as Mel. I’ve updated my review slightly with new photos, thanks to the latest video on ‘Dimensions In Time’ by Critical Penguin, which you can check out on YouTube. Continue reading

And welcome to the Sylvester McCoy/Seventh Doctor era of ‘Doctor Who’! 🙂 Let’s begin by taking a look at Season 24, Sylvester McCoy’s first season as the Seventh Doctor. This is considered one of the worst seasons ever made in the entire ‘Doctor Who’ series? Do I agree with that, or do I find something of value in each story of Season 24? Well, let’s check out the first story of the season called ‘Time and the Rani’, a four-part adventure by Pip and Jane Baker. Sylvester McCoy is joined by Bonnie Langford as Mel and Kate O’Mara as the evil Rani. There’s also the introduction of the monstrous Tetraps. ‘Time and the Rani’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and Britbox. Continue reading

The third story of Season 22 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series is a two-part 45-minute episode adventure called ‘The Mark of the Rani’ by Pip and Jane Baker. This story has Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor and Nicola Bryant as Peri visiting the mining town of Killingworth in the 19th century. There, a group of rampaging miners are on the run with attacking people and destroying machinery. This happens to be the work of Kate O’Mara who makes her debut as the evil Rani. She’s joined by Anthony Ainley who returns as the equally evil Master. Can the Sixth Doctor and Peri stop the plans of the Rani and the Master in time? ‘The Mark of the Rani’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and Britbox. Continue reading
