CD Reviews – ‘The Twelfth Doctor Chronicles’ (Doctor Who)

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Since its release in February 2020, I’ve been able to check out and review the four stories in ‘The Twelfth Doctor Chronicles’, the latest in ‘The Doctor Chronicles’ range of CD box sets in new series ‘Doctor Who’ by Big Finish. I’ve enjoyed ‘The Twelfth Doctor Chronicles’ and I’m glad that I’ve reviewed them recently.

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Last Christmas’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s the first Christmas Special of the Peter Capaldi era of ‘Doctor Who’ and it’s the best one in my humble opinion. This is ‘Last Christmas’ by Steven Moffat and it stars Peter Capaldi as the Doctor, Jenna Coleman as Clara and Nick Frost as Santa Claus. Find out what happens in this mind-boggling episode!

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Dark Water’/’Death In Heaven’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s now time for the season finale of Series 8 in ‘Doctor Who’ and it’s a two-parter this time. This story features the epic conclusion to Peter Capladi’s first season as the Doctor. Clara’s boyfriend Danny gets killed; the Cybermen return to invade Earth and the Doctor has his first confrontation with Michelle Gomez as Missy.

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘In the Forest of the Night’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This is ‘In the Forest of the Night’ where the Doctor finds the Earth covered in trees. He meets up with a little girl connected to this strange mystery as well as Clara, Danny and their school class. Will the Doctor and Clara find out what’s really going on with the forest overgrowing on Earth? Is this really a threat?

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Flatline’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here is the second contribution by Jamie Mathieson to Series 8 of ‘Doctor Who’! This is ‘Flatline’ and the Doctor’s TARDIS gets shrunk to size. Clara gets to be the Doctor for a change, has a companion called Rigsy and puts the TARDIS in her handbag. Will our main heroes defeat the menace of the Boneless?

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Mummy on the Orient Express’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This is one of my favourite episodes in Series 8 of ‘Doctor Who’ and it’s the first writing contribution by Jamie Mathieson. This is ‘Mummy on the Orient Express’ and the Doctor takes Clara to visit the Orient Express in outer space. There’s also a murder mystery going on with a mummy-like figure killing people.

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Kill The Moon’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

We now come to what I consider to be my least favourite episode of Series 8 of ‘Doctor Who’, despite the good performances by Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman as their characters. This is ‘Kill The Moon’ by Peter Harness and it turns out the Earth’s moon happens to be…an egg with an alien creature inside. (about to do a facepalm, but doesn’t bother)

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘The Caretaker’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

In this ‘Doctor Who’ episode, Danny Pink find outs that Clara Oswald has been travelling with the Doctor. The Doctor also becomes the school caretaker at Coal Hill School where Clara works. Will the Doctor accept Danny’s help as he and Clara find a way to battle the alien menace lurking in the school?

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Time Heist’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Today’s review I’m sharing is on the ‘Doctor Who’ episode ‘Time Heist’ with Peter Capaldi’s Doctor and Jenna Coleman’s Clara. In this episode, the Doctor and Clara are joined by two more people who help them to steal a futuristic bank. This episode features special guest star Keeley Hawes as well as the Teller.

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Listen’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This is a ‘Doctor Who’ episode that has some praise to it, but it’s not one that works well for me. In the episode, the Doctor enlists Clara to help solve a mystery of a fear he has about someone underneath someone’s bed. The episode also explores Clara and Danny’s relationship and how they eventually become a romantic couple.
