Hello everyone! 🙂
Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
You may have noticed the inactivity that’s occurring on ‘Bradley’s Basement’ so far in January 2024. Rest assured, I haven’t been idle. I’m currently putting together my ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season for Easter in March and April and I’m working on ‘The Sunfire Chronicles’ set of short stories. Continue reading

Here’s a little ‘Doctor Who’ treat for you from me on Christmas Day! This is a convention panel talk video featuring two companions, including the late Elisabeth Sladen, who played Sarah Jane Smith, and Sarah Sutton, who played Nyssa of Traken. This took place at the ‘Doctor Who’ convention called ‘Aylcon’ in Aylesbury in 1994. Continue reading
Merry Christmas everyone! 🙂

And here I am with a special Christmas video message by me via YouTube where I’m joined by Sarah Sutton, who plays Nyssa of Traken in ‘Doctor Who’. We recorded this Christmas greetings at the ‘Scarborough Comic Con’ in November 2023. We’re also joined by Santa Cuddles for the message. 😀 Continue reading

You can check out my ‘convention memories’ blog posts and my convention reports by clicking on the images below. Continue reading

Thanks to Matt Evenden, this website contains what hopefully will be a list of her upcoming appearances at conventions as well as a shop containing signed photographs to be sent out in the post.

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
It’s interesting about the 60th anniversary celebrations of ‘Doctor Who’ in terms of conventions. There’s no official convention by the BBC for the 60th year of the TV show in November 2023, like there was when the BBC did a convention for the 50th year at Edexcel, London in November 2013. 😐 Continue reading

And here we are on the two-part season finale in Series 8 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. This is ‘Dark Water’/’Death In Heaven’ by Steven Moffat. Samuel Anderson as Danny Pink gets killed off in the story, and he finds himself in an afterlife called the Nethersphere. Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor and Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald try to locate him and they soon meet up with Michelle Gomez as Missy, who unveils her true identity in the story. There’s the return of the ‘Nightmare In Silver’ Cybermen, who are a part of Missy’s plans in the Nethersphere. And there’s the return of U.N.I.T., including Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart and Ingrid Oliver as Osgood, who help the Doctor in thwarting Missy and the Cybermen. This ‘Doctor Who’ story has been praised highly by the critics, especially with regards to Michelle Gomez as Missy and the story’s darker and mature themes. Is this an assessment and an opinion I agree with? Is this a ‘Doctor Who’ story that truly satisfies me when it comes to revisiting it now and again? ‘Dark Water’/’Death In Heaven’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer. Continue reading

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
The time has come for ‘The Day of the Doctor’ by Steven Moffat – the 50th anniversary special of ‘Doctor Who’. This was shown on BBC TV on the 23rd of November 2013. It stars Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald, Billie Piper as the Moment and John Hurt as the War Doctor. There are special guest stars like Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart, Ingrid Oliver as Osgood and Joanna Page as Queen Elizabeth I. The story also features the Daleks as well as the return of the Zygons, who previously appeared in their first TV story ‘Terror of the Zygons’. There are surprise guest cameos of Doctors and companions that a keen ‘Doctor Who’ fan would need to look out for. 😀 This is a ‘Doctor Who’ anniversary special that’s highly rated by the fans. Do I agree with that? Do I think that this is a better anniversary special than ‘The Five Doctors’, the 20th anniversary special? Does it cover everything that I want to celebrate about 50 years of my favourite TV show? Are there things that I like about ‘The Day of the Doctor’? 😀 ‘The Day of the Doctor’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer. Continue reading

I’ve enjoyed September 2023 greatly. 🙂 I’d like to share with you what my convention experiences and my holiday were like. Continue reading

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
So, I’ve recently attended the ‘Popcorn TV, Film & Comic Con Sheffield’ on Sunday the 10th of September 2023. I won’t be sharing a convention report on the event this week as by the time you’re reading this blog post, I’m on holiday in Amroth in West Wales. However, I can share a YouTube interview I did with Sarah Sutton (Nyssa in ‘Doctor Who’), who was one of the guests. Continue reading
