Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for the second story of Season 21 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. Today, we’re taking a look at ‘The Awakening’, a two-part story by Eric Pringle, where Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, Janet Fielding as Tegan and Mark Strickson as Turlough visit the English village of Little Hodcombe in the year 1984. There, Tegan tries to reunite with her grandfather, Andrew Verney, whilst a psychic alien creature called the Malus attempts to take control of the villagers in some deadly reenactments of the English Civil War. ‘The Awakening’ can be checked out on DVD and Britbox.

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘The Pirate Planet’

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

We come to one of my favourite stories in ‘The Key to Time’ season (Season 16) of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. This is ‘The Pirate Planet’, a four-part adventure by Douglas Adams, who is well-known for being the author of ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’. This story stars Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, Mary Tamm as Romana, and K-9, voiced by John Leeson. The TARDIS trio end up on the planet Zanak, as they try to locate the second segment of the Key to Time and they come up against Bruce Purchase as the Pirate Captain. This story inspired me to create the atmosphere for my ‘Fifth Doctor’ adventure called ‘The Space Hotel’. 😀 ‘The Pirate Planet’ can be checked out on DVD and Britbox. Continue reading →
