Power Month (Day 21) – ‘Life’s A Masquerade’ (MMPR)

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time to go fancy dress in this ‘Power Rangers’ episode for today’s ‘Power Month’ on ‘Bradley’s Basement’. In this episode, the Ranger teens dress up as different characters when attending a costume party at the Angel Grove Youth Center. Alpha also turns up at the party to hang out with his friends. 😀 And of course, Rita Repulsa causes trouble when she sends in a new monster that happens to be Frankenstein. Yes! The monster for this ‘Power Rangers’ episode happens to be Frankenstein! Isn’t that crazy or what? 😀 Will the Rangers stop Frankenstein crashing the party? Continue reading

Basement News – August 2023

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I’ve shared a ‘Basement News’ blog post in the space of two months this year. Today however, I’m sharing a ‘Basement News’ blog post sooner than expected. This is because I’m going to be away most of the time in September due to attending conventions and going on holiday.

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘The Fires of Pompeii’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

We come to one of the best pseudo-historical adventures in the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series in Series 4, starring David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and Catherine Tate as Donna. It’s time for ‘The Fires of Pompeii’ by James Moran. This is an episode where the Doctor and Donna travel back in time to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii in 79 AD. This episode features guest stars who would become prominent in ‘Doctor Who’s history like Peter Capaldi (who would go on to play the Twelfth Doctor) as Caecilius and Karen Gillan (who would go on to play Amy Pond) as a Soothsayer. There’s also Tracey Childs (who has played Elizabeth Klein in the Big Finish audios with Sylvester McCoy’s Seventh Doctor) as Metella, Caecilius’ wife, and there’s Phil Davis (who I’ve seen in the BBC’s 2005 TV production of ‘Bleak House’) as Lucius. ‘The Fires of Pompeii’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer.
