‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘The Day of the Doctor’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

The time has come for ‘The Day of the Doctor’ by Steven Moffat – the 50th anniversary special of ‘Doctor Who’. This was shown on BBC TV on the 23rd of November 2013. It stars Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald, Billie Piper as the Moment and John Hurt as the War Doctor. There are special guest stars like Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart, Ingrid Oliver as Osgood and Joanna Page as Queen Elizabeth I. The story also features the Daleks as well as the return of the Zygons, who previously appeared in their first TV story ‘Terror of the Zygons’. There are surprise guest cameos of Doctors and companions that a keen ‘Doctor Who’ fan would need to look out for. 😀 This is a ‘Doctor Who’ anniversary special that’s highly rated by the fans. Do I agree with that? Do I think that this is a better anniversary special than ‘The Five Doctors’, the 20th anniversary special? Does it cover everything that I want to celebrate about 50 years of my favourite TV show? Are there things that I like about ‘The Day of the Doctor’? 😀 ‘The Day of the Doctor’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer. Continue reading

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

CD Review – ‘Donna Noble: Kidnapped!’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Today, I’ve reviewed ‘Donna Noble: Kidnapped!’, an audio spin-off from new series ‘Doctor Who’ by Big Finish. It stars Catherine Tate, Jacqueline King and Niky Wardley. This has been a fun four-episode spin-off series to listen to, set between ‘Silence In The Library’/’Forest of the Dead’ and ‘Midnight’. Continue reading

TV Review – ‘Call the Midwife’, Series 8, Episode 4

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Once again, I’ve seen the latest episode of ‘Call the Midwife’ on BBC iPlayer. This was a pretty emotional, bittersweet episode as it features two subplots. The first subplot is where the ‘Call the Midwife’ team try to unite a mother and daughter who are both pregnant and pretty estranged from each other. Continue reading

Christmas DVD reviews – The ‘Nativity’ Film Series

 

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Yes, I suppose I’ve got the Christmas blues here. In the transition from 2017 into 2018, I’ve been watching the ‘Nativity’ family film series on DVD. That’s the three ‘Nativity’ films which I suppose should be called a trilogy at the moment. But that doesn’t seem to be the case, as I will explain later. Continue reading
