Power Month (Day 25) – ‘The Rockstar’ (MMPR)

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time to check out ‘The Rockstar’, another episode in the ‘Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ series for today’s instalment of ‘Power Month’ this year. The Rockstar of course happens to be a monster. Surprisingly, the focus of the episode isn’t about the Rockstar. The focus happens to be about Rita Repulsa and her minions getting the Mirror of Destruction on Earth. Jason/the Red Ranger spends some time with his cousin Jeremy before he soon joins the Rangers in the fight to destroy the Mirror of Destruction in their Dino Megazord. Incidentally, this episode doesn’t feature Tommy in it. 😐

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘The Unicorn and the Wasp’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

My absolute favourite ‘Doctor Who’ story is ‘Black Orchid’. That was the classic TV series’ way of doing a period murder mystery in the 1920s. Today, we’re looking at ‘The Unicorn and the Wasp’ by Gareth Roberts, the new TV series’ way of doing a period murder mystery in the 1920s. David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and Catherine Tate as Donna Noble meet Fenella Woolgar (who would go on to be in ‘Call the Midwife’) as Agatha Christie at a country house. The episode also features special guest stars like Felicity Kendal (who I’ve seen in ‘The Good Life’) as Lady Eddison, Christopher Benjamin (well-known for playing Henry Gordon Jago in ‘Doctor Who’) as Colonel Hugh, Felicity Jones (who’s been in 2007’s ‘Northanger Abbey’, ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ and ‘Rogue One’) as Robina Redmond, and Tom Goodman-Hill as Reverend Golightly. Do I think that ‘The Unicorn and the Wasp’ is better than ‘Black Orchid’ or vice versa? ‘The Unicorn and the Wasp’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and BBC iPlayer.
