‘All Creatures Great and Small’ – Series 7 REVIEWED

   

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

At last! I’ve finished reviewing the original ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ TV series, starring Robert Hardy, Christopher Timothy, Peter Davison and Lynda Bellingham. I’ve just reviewed Series 7 as well as the 1990 Christmas Special called ‘Brotherly Love’. It hasn’t been a great season, but I enjoyed it. 🙂 Continue reading

DVD review – ‘Fantastic Four’ (2015)

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I like the Fantastic Four as a Marvel superhero team. I enjoyed reading the 1960s comics by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby; have enjoyed seeing episodes of their 1990s TV show and love the 2005/2007 movies starring the Fantastic Four. I know not many people will agree with me on that front regarding the 2005/2007 films, but I consider them to be very decent movie adaptations of those 1960s comics. 😀 Continue reading

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

We’ve come to the end of Series 9 of ‘Call the Midwife’! I’ve enjoyed this season very much this year. It’s been emotionally packed with lots of character drama and intriguing stories involving births of babies and such. The season finale seems to guarantee ‘Call the Midwife’ a future, but for a short while. Continue reading

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

So, after all the variety we’ve had in Series 12 and the mixed feelings I’ve had about each episode so far, it’s time for the season finale ‘Ascension of the Cybermen’/’The Timeless Children’ by Chris Chibnall. I’ve been looking forward to this two-part finale, especially since the Cybermen appear in it! Continue reading

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

I do enjoy cooking for my parents and me. Continue reading

TV Review – ‘Call the Midwife’, Series 9, Episode 7

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

The latest ‘Call the Midwife’ episode was a happier experience compared to the previous one. There was emotional drama going on, especially concerning character arcs and a certain married couple with a baby. But I enjoyed the seventh episode of Series 9 of ‘Call the Midwife’ very much as it was gripping. Continue reading

Movie Review – ‘Emma.’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

In January 2020, I reviewed ‘Love & Friendship’ based on the novella ‘Lady Susan’. Now I’ve seen the 2020 film ‘Emma…with a full stop’? Continue reading
