Hello everyone! 🙂

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

In case you missed it yesterday, I’ve updated my review on ‘Terminus’, the fourth story of Season 20 in the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series and the second story of ‘The Black Guardian Trilogy’ in the Peter Davison/Fifth Doctor era. In doing so, I’ve shared a brand-new review on the ‘Breaking Point’ making-of documentary on ‘Terminus’, featuring behind-the-scenes interviews with the cast and crew, including Peter Davison, Sarah Sutton, Mark Strickson, Martin Potter, writer Stephen Gallagher, etc. I’ve also updated my review on the ‘Finding Sarah Sutton’ featurette with Sarah Sutton.

Season 20 of ‘Doctor Who’ with Peter Davison on Blu-ray #4

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we are on what I consider to be a very significant story in Season 20 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. Today, we’re checking out the fourth story of the season called ‘Terminus’, and it’s the second story of ‘The Black Guardian Trilogy’. ‘Terminus’ is a four-part story by Stephen Gallagher, who previously penned ‘Warriors’ Gate’ in Season 18. The story is directed by Mary Ridge, who previously directed six episodes of ‘Blake’s 7’. ‘Terminus’ is the final TV adventure to feature Sarah Sutton as Nyssa in ‘Doctor Who’. It’s a very special story for me, as it began what prompted me to go to ‘Doctor Who’ conventions and meet people like Sarah Sutton, Peter Davison, Janet Fielding and Mark Strickson who appear in this story. Valentine Dyall returns as the Black Guardian in this ‘Doctor Who’ story and there’s also the introduction of the Vanir and the Garm. Continue reading
