‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Empress of Mars’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This ‘Doctor Who’ episode features the return of the Ice Warriors with Peter Capaldi’s Doctor. This is one of my favourite episodes from Series 10. The episode is by Mark Gatiss. It’s interesting how it features the Ice Empress and provides quite an intriguing back-story to the Ice Warriors as Martians. Continue reading

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here is one of my favourite episodes from Series 10 of ‘Doctor Who’. Yeah it’s got a bit of a weak ending, but I found very enjoyable to watch on my birthday weekend in May 2017.

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Thin Ice’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This is not the Big Finish audio drama called ‘Thin Ice’ featuring Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred. Oh no! This is the TV episode called ‘Thin Ice’ featuring Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie. Why do two ‘Doctor Who’ stories feature the same title? It doesn’t make sense! They’re not even the same story!!! Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Sleep No More’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we come to what I consider to be a low-point in Series 9 of ‘Doctor Who’. This is ‘Sleep No More’ by Mark Gatiss. This is an interesting if unusual experiment of a ‘Doctor Who’ episode based on the concept of found footage. This episode doesn’t work for me to my tastes. My review explains why that is. Continue reading
