‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘The Eaters of Light’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for the return of a classic ‘Doctor Who’ writer to the new TV series. Rona Munro, who wrote the last story of the classic series called ‘Survival’ with Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred, returns to write ‘The Eaters of Light’ with Peter Capaldi, Pearl Mackie and Matt Lucas. Is this as good as ‘Survival’ though? Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Empress of Mars’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This ‘Doctor Who’ episode features the return of the Ice Warriors with Peter Capaldi’s Doctor. This is one of my favourite episodes from Series 10. The episode is by Mark Gatiss. It’s interesting how it features the Ice Empress and provides quite an intriguing back-story to the Ice Warriors as Martians. Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘The Pyramid at the End of the World’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for the second episode of ‘The Monks Trilogy’ in Series 10 of ‘Doctor Who’ called ‘The Pyramid at the End of the World’. I recall being really frustrated with this episode at the time I saw it on TV. My thoughts are more or less the same in my current review for it, though I have gained clarity on the episode. Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Extremis’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s the first episode of ‘The Monks Trilogy’ in Series 10 of ‘Doctor Who’. The first episode is called ‘Extremis’ by Steven Moffat. This is what I consider to be a muddled trilogy of episodes in ‘Doctor Who’. The episode has the Doctor, Bill and Nardole discovering the Veritas at the Vatican, Italy where they also meet the alien Monks. Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Oxygen’

Hello everyone! 🙂

But the Doctor risks his life to save Bill that causes him to go blind. Will the Doctor gain his sight back and will things be clearer towards the end of the episode? 😀 Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Knock Knock’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here is one of my favourite episodes from Series 10 of ‘Doctor Who’. Yeah it’s got a bit of a weak ending, but I found very enjoyable to watch on my birthday weekend in May 2017. This is ‘Knock Knock’ by Mike Bartlett, featuring Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie with special guest star David Suchet. Continue reading

‘Doctor Who’ Marathon – ‘Thin Ice’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This is not the Big Finish audio drama called ‘Thin Ice’ featuring Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred. Oh no! This is the TV episode called ‘Thin Ice’ featuring Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie. Why do two ‘Doctor Who’ stories feature the same title? It doesn’t make sense! They’re not even the same story!!! Continue reading
