Bradley Walsh: “Doctor Who is a Lifelong Ambition For Me” — The Doctor Who Companion

, , 0 Comments

Bradley Walsh has made it very clear how much he’s always loved Doctor Who, and he’s described his role as Graham O’Brien, the Thirteenth Doctor’s companion, as a “lifelong ambition” – and further shows his fan credentials by mentioning Roy Castle! Whatever you think of the programme under showrunner, Chris Chibnall, it’s heart-warming to know […]

Bradley Walsh: “Doctor Who is a Lifelong Ambition For Me” — The Doctor Who Companion

I love Bradley. I always thought he was just an average actor (albeit an extremely likeable one) but he really blew it outta the park as Graham. You can tell how much he loves the show. Unfortunately I also suspect Graham might not make it to the end of the series, so, boo.

also im laughing at all the people outside the UK who don’t know who bradley walsh is.. who think he’s just some random old white guy and not like. a national icon.

for my non UK followers who like doctor who: bradley walsh is pretty well-known here because he was in Law & Order UK and also one of our soap operas, specifically Coronation Street which has like, more of a comedy slant to it?? 

but these days he’s best known for hosting quiz show The Chase and just. having the time of his fucking life on it. here is a HALF HOUR video of him losing his composure and laughing at quiz questions on national television (note: this video is labelled ‘volume 1′)

I’ll continue to hold that he’s a really good casting choice, cos you know how the female companions used to be (derogatorily) referred to as ‘something for the dads’ every now and again?

Bradley Walsh is something for the mums.

NEXT YEAR!!!

excited for all these dudes except the neil flynn looking guy

Bradley Walsh? He’s a bit like… literally everyone in Britain knows who Bradley Walsh is, he presents countless game shows and is pretty much just on TV all the time, plus he sings and does children’s telly and all that jazz. (I have no idea who the American equivalent would be). He actually showed up on Sarah Jane Adventures at one point too I think.

Basically I kinda suspect he’s the person they cast to encourage older women who have zero interest in sci-fi to tune in. Mums and grannies love Bradley. (Or mine do.) He’s… inoffensive would be a good word I guess, and I honestly mean that in a good way?

But I think his casting is a smart move overall, and I doubt he’ll be in it as much as the others cos he does like a zillion other things too…
