‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘The Pyramid at the End of the World’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for the second episode of ‘The Monks Trilogy’ in Series 10 of ‘Doctor Who’ called ‘The Pyramid at the End of the World’. I recall being really frustrated with this episode at the time I saw it on TV. My thoughts are more or less the same in my current review for it, though I have gained clarity on the episode.

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Extremis’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s the first episode of ‘The Monks Trilogy’ in Series 10 of ‘Doctor Who’. The first episode is called ‘Extremis’ by Steven Moffat. This is what I consider to be a muddled trilogy of episodes in ‘Doctor Who’. The episode has the Doctor, Bill and Nardole discovering the Veritas at the Vatican, Italy where they also meet the alien Monks. Continue reading

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. This is ‘Knock Knock’ by Mike Bartlett, featuring Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie with special guest star David Suchet. Continue reading

‘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 – ‘Hell Bent’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s the season finale of Series 9 and the last episode of the three-episode story arc in ‘Doctor Who’. It’s time for ‘Hell Bent’ and it features the Doctor’s return back to Gallifrey? But was the Doctor’s return to Gallifrey worthwhile? Did Clara really die? Is Ashildr the so-called hybrid? My review details the confusion I have. 😀 Continue reading
