‘The Nest Cottage Chronicles’ review – ‘Serpent Crest: Aladdin Time’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time to check out ‘Aladdin Time’ by Paul Magrs, the third ‘Serpent Crest’ story in ‘The Nest Cottage Chronicles’ of ‘Doctor Who’, starring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor and Susan Jameson as Mrs. Wibbsey. The story also features Guy Harvey as Aladdin, Sophie Ward as the Storyteller, Terrence Hardiman as the Gryphon, Andrew Sachs as the Scarf, Simon Shepherd as the Magician and Su Douglas as the Toad. Will this ‘Doctor Who’ adventure be a good take on the ‘Aladdin’ story compared to the 1992 and 2019 Disney films? 😀

Andrew Sachs – 1930-2016

Hello everyone.

I’d like to make a little tribute to Andrew Sachs, the actor who played Manuel in the BBC sitcom series, ‘Fawlty Towers’. I’m saddened to hear the news that Andrew Sach passed away. 😦 I enjoyed seeing him as Manuel and I cherish very fond memories of watching him as he made me laugh a lot!
