Novelization/Audiobook Review – ‘Doctor Who – Empire of Death’

Leave a reply

 

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

At long last! 🙂 I get to share my latest video with Sarah Sutton (Nyssa of Traken in ‘Doctor Who’)! We recorded this video sketch at the ‘Festival of the Time Lords’ convention at Newark Showground in Newark back in May 2026. It was a great opportunity for me to do a video with Sarah about the fact that there are now two ‘Empire of Death’ books in ‘Doctor Who’, including the BBC Book by David Bishop, featuring the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa, and the Target novelization by Scott Handcock, featuring the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby. It’s taken me a while to share this video by going through the ‘Space Babies’, ’73 Yards’, ‘Rogue’ and ‘Empire of Death’ Target novelizations, but I’m glad to be sharing this video with Sarah at last! Thanks to my best friend from school – Stephen Buckley – for being the cameraman when Sarah and I did our video. I hope everyone enjoys the video! 🙂 Continue reading →

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for us to check out the third episode in the David Tennant/Tenth Doctor era of ‘Doctor Who’ called ‘Tooth and Claw’ by Russell T. Davies. In this episode from Series 2 of the new TV series, we go into gothic horror territory, as the David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose visit Scotland in the year 1879. There, they meet Pauline Collins as Queen Victoria, who’s on her way to visit the Torchwood Estate in Scotland. But at Torchwood House, things aren’t what they seem, as a group of warrior Monks, led by Ian Hanmore as Father Angelo, have taken over the place and they unleash a vicious werewolf to get at her Majesty. Will our heroes be able to keep Queen Victoria safe in Torchwood House as well as evade being killed by the werewolf? ‘Tooth and Claw’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer.
