Hello everyone! 🙂

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

In case you’ve missed it yesterday, I’ve added a brand-new review on the Target novelization/audiobook of the ‘Doctor Who’ story ‘The Greatest Show in the Galaxy’ by Stephen Wyatt, based on the original TV scripts by him. The story features the Seventh Doctor and Ace, and takes place on the planet Segonax. The TARDIS duo visit the planet Segonax to check out the Psychic Circus where they meet a variety of characters, including Captain Cook, Mags, the Ringmaster, Morgana, the Chief Clown, Bellboy, Deadbeat, the Gods of Ragnarok, etc. The 2013 audiobook for ‘Doctor Who – The Greatest Show in the Galaxy’ is read by Sophie Aldred, who plays Ace in the classic TV series and the Big Finish audios.

There are two versions of ‘Greatest Show’ on Blu-ray, including the original four-part story and the Special Edition version. With the Special Edition version however, ‘Parts One and Three’ are given the extended treatment along with brand-new CGI effects. Continue reading →
