‘Tales From The TARDIS’ Review – ‘The People’s Temple’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

And here we are on the seventh and final instalment of the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume Two’ collection of ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories. This year’s Easter review season has been shorter compared to last year, I know, but I’m happy to have completed my reviews on the stories featured in the two ‘Tales From The TARDIS’ audio anthologies, ever since I did my reviews on the ‘Short Trips’ and ‘More Short Trips’ book anthologies in ‘The Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season back from March to April 2024. Today, we’re checking out ‘The People’s Temple’ by Paul Leonard. The story features the Eighth Doctor and Sam, and it’s read by Paul McGann. As well as being the seventh and final story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume Two’ collection, ‘The People’s Temple’ is the third and final story in the ‘Earth and Beyond’ audio anthology, featuring the Eighth Doctor and Sam. It’s also the fifteenth and final story in the BBC ‘Short Trips’ 1998 book collection. Continue reading

‘Tales From The TARDIS’ Review – ‘Dead Time’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s Easter Tuesday today, and it’s time to check out the sixth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume Two’ collection of ‘Doctor Who’ audio stories! Today, I’m sharing my review on the story ‘Dead Time’ by Andrew Miller, which happens to be a pseudonym for Stephen Cole. The story features the Eighth Doctor and Sam, and is read by Paul McGann. As well as being the sixth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume Two’ collection, ‘Dead Time’ is the second story in the ‘Earth and Beyond’ audio anthology, featuring the Eighth Doctor and Sam. It’s also the eleventh story in the ‘More Short Trips’ book collection, which I reviewed in my ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season for Easter from March to April 2024. My opinion on ‘Dead Time’ hasn’t changed much since the first time I read and heard the story back in 2024. Continue reading

‘Tales From The TARDIS’ Review – ‘Bounty’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Enjoying Easter Monday so far? In today’s instalment of this year’s Easter review season, it’s time for the fifth story in the ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume Two’ audio collection of ‘Doctor Who’. Here’s my brand-new review on ‘Bounty’, the first of three stories in the ‘Earth and Beyond’ audio anthology, featuring the Eighth Doctor and Sam. The story is by Peter Anghelides, who has contributed many stories to ‘Doctor Who’, including audios, books and short stories. The ones by him that I’ve checked out and reviewed so far include ‘The Tip of the Mind’, ‘Good Companions’ and ‘The Four Doctors’. ‘Bounty’ is read by Paul McGann, who plays the Eighth Doctor, and it’s the only audio story exclusive in the ‘Earth and Beyond’ anthology, since it was never printed in any book anthology. Was ‘Bounty’ worth my attention in checking out ‘Tales From The TARDIS: Volume Two’? Continue reading
