‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – Season 18 Summary

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Season 18 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series is a significant season. It was the first one of the 1980s, the first one under producer John Nathan-Turner’s reign, and it was seventh and final season of Tom Baker’s era as the Fourth Doctor. This is also a season with its own behind-the-scenes issues.

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for the second story of Season 18 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series with Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor. Today, it’s time for ‘Meglos’, a four-part story by John Flanagan and Andrew McCulloch. This story has Tom Baker’s Doctor, Lalla Ward’s Romana and K-9, voiced by John Leeson, visiting the planet Tigella, where they get tangled up in a web of trouble caused by the shapeshifting cactus called Meglos, who becomes a double of Tom Baker’s Doctor. The story also features special guest stars Bill Fraser and Jacqueline Hill (who played Barbara in the ‘Doctor Who’ TV series with William Hartnell’s First Doctor). ‘Meglos’ can be checked out on DVD, Blu-ray and Britbox.

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Having recently checked out the Target novelization/audiobook of ‘Meglos’, I’d like to share my reviews on the Target novelizations/audiobooks featured in Season 18 of ‘Doctor Who’. I’m pleased all the audiobook versions of the Season 18 Target novelizations have been made. Hopefully the same will be done for Season 19 with the remaining novelization of ‘Kinda’ to be made as an audiobook.
