Convention Memories – ‘Pandorica 2014’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s that time again for me to share another set of ‘convention memories’ as a ‘Doctor Who’ fan! 🙂 In September 2014, I attended the ‘Pandorica 2014’ convention at the Future Inn in Bristol, run by Fantom Films. I would later attend another ‘Pandorica’ convention in 2015 at the same Future Inn. 🙂

There’s still some time to reflect on Jodie Whittaker’s era of ‘Doctor Who’ before we say goodbye to her.

Season 17 of ‘Doctor Who’ with Tom Baker on Blu-ray #6

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

And we’ve come to the end of Season 17 of ‘Doctor Who’ on Blu-ray with Tom Baker. To finish off, we’re taking a look at the lost story called ‘Shada’, which was meant to be the season finale to Season 17, but was cancelled due to strike action happening in 1979. My review on the original ‘Shada’ is based on the 2021 ‘definitive version’ of the story in the Season 17 Blu-ray box set. I’ve combined both my reviews on the 1992 VHS version and the 2017 movie version of the ‘Shada’ story for this review.

This season of ‘Doctor Who’ audio adventures stars Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, Jane Slavin as Ann Kelso and K-9, voiced by John Leeson.

Here we are in 2022 and we’re talking about the New Year Day’s Special of ‘Doctor Who’ called ‘Eve of the Daleks’. I’ve been looking forward to this special episode since the last episode of ‘Flux’. I’m surprised that ‘Eve of the Daleks’ wasn’t actually released on New Year’s Eve before the end of 2021.
