CD Review – ‘The Last Days of the Powell Estate’ (Doctor Who)

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s the last Big Finish audio review for this week to celebrate the 62nd anniversary of ‘Doctor Who’. What better way to finish it off than by checking out the second audio adventure starring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose Tyler in ‘The Ninth Doctor Adventures’ by Big Finish. It’s time for ‘The Last Days of the Powell Estate’ by Timothy X Atack. Hopefully, I’ll be back to check out more Ninth Doctor and Rose audio stories as well as more Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz audio stories in the New Year, once I’ve sorted out my ‘Nyssa Challenge’ reviews for this year as well as upcoming in-depth reviews on Series 14 and 15 of the new TV series with Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor.

CD Review – ‘The Return of the Doctor’ (Doctor Who)

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time to check out the second audio story in ‘The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures’ of ‘Doctor Who’ by Big Finish called ‘The Return of the Doctor’, starring Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor and Mandip Gill as Yasmin Khan. I’m currently enjoying the latest Big Finish audios of ‘Doctor Who’ featuring the Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz. I’m not planning to check out and do a review on the third audio story ‘Lionesses in Winter’ before the end of this year. I’m likely to check that out audio story along with the rest of ‘The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures’ sometime next year. Mind you, I might slip in ‘Lionesses in Winter’ as part of my Christmas schedule, since it’s considered a Christmas Special. 🙂 Continue reading

CD Review – ‘Snare’ (Doctor Who)

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

After checking out ‘Vampire Weekend’, the first of ‘The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures’ of ‘Doctor Who’ by Big Finish, starring Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill, it’s time to check out the first of ‘The Ninth Doctor Adventures’ starring Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper. I’m pleased to be making a start on checking out these audios at last, especially as they’re for eras of ‘Doctor Who’ that I personally love. The Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper era of ‘Doctor Who’ is particularly special for me, since it was the first era for me to be introduced to in the new TV series. I’m glad Chris Eccleston and Billie Piper have reunited to do more ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories as the Ninth Doctor and Rose. Continue reading

This year, it’s the 62nd anniversary of ‘Doctor Who’! 🙂 To celebrate the occasion and in the build-up to the 62nd anniversary on the 23rd of November, I’ve decided to check out the latest Big Finish audios of ‘Doctor Who’ featuring the Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz as well as the Ninth Doctor and Rose. I’ve been meaning to check out these Big Finish audio adventures for quite some time, but I’ve been busy with updating my ‘Doctor Who’ reviews on the stories in Seasons 20 and 25 of the classic TV series, based on their ‘Collection’ Blu-ray box sets. Thankfully, I can find some time to check out and listen to some of the latest Big Finish audio stories to review on my blog. Continue reading

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Our look into John Hurt as the War Doctor in ‘Doctor Who’ has been quick so far in the 60th Anniversary Marathon.

There are more ‘War Doctor’ stories to check out, but this is the penultimate box set audio adventure featuring John Hurt as the War Doctor.
