‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘Warriors of the Deep’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we are on Peter Davison’s third and final season as the Fifth Doctor in ‘Doctor Who’ – Season 21. The season ends with a peculiar entry, but we’ll get to that eventually. We begin Season 21 with ‘Warriors of the Deep’, a four-part story by Johnny Byrne, featuring the return of the Silurians and the Sea Devils. This story also introduces the Myrka. Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor is joined by Janet Fielding as Tegan and Mark Strickson as Turlough. Does this story start the season off on a good note? 😐 ‘Warriors of the Deep’ can be checked out on DVD and Britbox.

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘The Sea Devils’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Before the Sea Devils returned in the ‘Doctor Who’ Easter Special called ‘Legend of the Sea Devils’ in April 2022, they made their debut in the ‘Doctor Who’ adventure called ‘The Sea Devils’, starring Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor and Katy Manning as Jo Grant. Roger Delgado also makes a return as the Master in this ‘Doctor Who’ adventure. This six-part adventure can be checked out on DVD and Britbox. The story will soon be re-released in the Season 9 Blu-ray box set, so watch out for that. 😀

Please feel free to check out, read and comment on my current review for ‘The Sea Devils’. I’ve also reviewed the Target novelization/audiobook ‘Doctor Who and the Sea-Devils’ by Malcolm Hulke, read by Geoffrey Beevers. Stay tuned for my updated Blu-ray review on ‘The Sea Devils’ coming soon to ‘Bradley’s Basement’.

Enjoy!

Bye for now!

Convention Memories – ‘Timeless Collectors’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time to share the last set of ‘convention memories’ I have for 2014. This was a special treat for me, as I got to attend a little convention, also called a sci-fi fair, in Fareham in December 2014 run by the organiser called the Timeless Collectors or the Sci-Fi South Collectors. I got to see Sarah Sutton before Christmas that year, which was very exciting. 🙂

There’s still some time to reflect on Jodie Whittaker’s era of ‘Doctor Who’ before we say goodbye to her. Before we see the Thirteenth Doctor’s departure in the upcoming BBC Centenary Special, let’s check out the two recent ‘Doctor Who’ specials featuring Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor that were shown in January and April this year.

‘Beneath the Surface’ – ‘Doctor Who’ reviews

     

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Check out my reviews on the ‘Doctor Who’ stories featuring the Silurians, the Sea Devils and the Myrka. These stories come from the classic series and the new series in the 1970s, the 1980s and the 2010s. There’s also a review by me on one of the ‘Doctor Who’ Silurian stories produced by Big Finish.

Bonus Week – ‘The Nyssa Challenge’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Yes! It’s ‘Dimensions in Time’ for this final and bonus week on ‘The Nyssa Challenge’ today! 🙂

Do I have to review this story, you ask? Yes! Of course I have to! I want to! Why, you ask? Because it’s ‘Doctor Who’; it’s the 30th anniversary special of 1993 and it features Sarah Sutton as Nyssa in it, of course!  I hope you’ll enjoy my thoughts on this story.
