‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Heaven Sent’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Today it’s the second episode of the three-episode finale of Series 9 in ‘Doctor Who’. This is ‘Heaven Sent’ and it’s probably the best episode ever written by Steven Moffat in the entirety of the Peter Capaldi era. Peter Capaldi’s Doctor is now alone without Clara and he has to work out how to get out of a trap he’s in. Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Mummy on the Orient Express’

This is ‘Mummy on the Orient Express’ and the Doctor takes Clara to visit the Orient Express in outer space. There’s also a murder mystery going on with a mummy-like figure killing people.

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Kill The Moon’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

We now come to what I consider to be my least favourite episode of Series 8 of ‘Doctor Who’, despite the good performances by Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman as their characters. This is ‘Kill The Moon’ by Peter Harness and it turns out the Earth’s moon happens to be…an egg with an alien creature inside. (about to do a facepalm, but doesn’t bother) Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Listen’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This is a ‘Doctor Who’ episode that has some praise to it, but it’s not one that works well for me. In the episode, the Doctor enlists Clara to help solve a mystery of a fear he has about someone underneath someone’s bed. The episode also explores Clara and Danny’s relationship and how they eventually become a romantic couple. Continue reading
