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

This is where I feel Series 8 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series reaches its first low point in the Peter Capaldi/Twelfth Doctor era. If you enjoyed this episode when you first saw it, good for you. 🙂 But for me, there are issues concerning this episode that can’t be ignored. It’s time for us to check out ‘Kill the Moon’ by Peter Harness. This is Peter Harness’ first contribution as a writer to the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. In the episode, Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor and Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald are joined by Ellis George as Courtney Woods, one of the pupils at Coal Hill School. The trio go off on an adventure to Earth’s moon in the year 2049. It turns out there’s more to Earth’s moon than meets the eye, especially with spider-like creatures running about. Could Earth’s moon really be an egg? (Seriously, that’s part of the episode’s plot!) Is Jenna Coleman’s performance as Clara noteworthy to be praised, especially by the episode’s end? There are guest stars like Hermione Norris as Lundvik and Tony Osoba as Duke. And there’s another cameo of Samuel Anderson as Danny Pink in the episode. ‘Kill the Moon’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer. Continue reading →
