Thankfully all (touch wood!!!) finally appears to be well with my laptop. After I thought it was fixed last time it ended up having to go back again! A working laptop = Bradley posts again! :D Enjoy!

Been a bit quiet recently as I’m in the process of bringing all my Bradley clips together so I can cap everything - and editing out the stuff that’s not needed so that I can upload more videos as well as the caps. It’ll be worth it I promise!

In the mean time here’s one of the clips - enjoy ;)

BBC1 are showing a trailer for Suntrap in the run up to it’s first episode next Wednesday.

It definitely looks fun! ;)

Bradley joins Kayvan Novak, best known for his role in Fonejacker, in the family comedy SunTrap. Set on a fictional Spanish island, it follows the trials and tribulations of one of the UK’s best undercover reporters, Woody (Novak), who goes on the run after being set up by his corrupt editor.

Woody escapes to a resort, where he stumbles across his old newspaper mentor Brutus – played by Bradley – who is now running a bar. It’s not long before the reporter is taking on a series of hilarious investigations by adopting a variety of guises.

For Bradley, 54, the chance to star in a BBC1 comedy was a no-brainer. Describing it as a comedy take on iconic TV shows such as Magnum and Minder, he says SunTrap combines great scripts, a beautiful location and plenty of slapstick humour.

“I don’t want to do the same thing all the time and I was thrilled to bits to do a BBC comedy,” says Bradley. “It’s the home of British comedy. We also all had so much fun and I really liked working with Kayvan.

“My character was a bit of a ladies’ man in his time and his closest protégé was Woody. He has that father or uncle thing about him.”

The series features guest appearances from well-known stars such as Jack Dee, Keith Allen and Paul Kaye, plus Strictly

Come Dancing winner and Mr Selfridge actress Kara Tointon, to give the Gran Canaria-set sitcom an injection of glamour.

Kara, who appears in the second episode, plays Maria Spencer, a cool customer who turns up at the bar run by Brutus looking for someone to do a delivery job for her.

Woody takes on the task and Maria asks him to take a valuable antique to a neighbouring island. Except Maria isn’t all she seems and the job is anything but straightforward. Maria’s actions result in Woody getting into all kinds of scrapes, including having to jump overboard on a ferry and a big finale that puts nearly all of the characters’ lives at risk.

Looking tanned and relaxed, Bradley, who also starred in Coronation Street and hosts The Chase, chats enthusiastically about the new sitcom, which he’s hoping will add a different string to his bow.

He particularly loved the chemistry he built up with his co-star Kayvan and some of the scenes they shot gave him the excuse to act like a “big kid again”.

His favourite storyline involved pretending to be a pirate. “I love pirates and I’m a big fan of the Johnny Depp films.

We did a scene on a pirate ship, where we had to dress up and it was completely ludicrous, but I had an absolute ball. I kept taking selfies and I don’t do that. I’m a man who doesn’t even have a mobile!”

Though clearly relishing every second of his time spent filming SunTrap, Bradley admits the days were long and hard – particularly as he had to fit filming around his ITV commitments, which include Bradley’s Saturday night show Keep It In The Family.

“It is tricky. Law & Order is a six-month shoot,” says Bradley. “Everything has to be crammed in. I had so much fun but it wasn’t a holiday. We had seriously long days and we’d finish at 8pm and start again at 7am. We were doing six-day weeks, which sometimes tripped onto the seventh. But I loved it all.”

So would he ever like to swap his day job as a TV presenter-turned-actor to become a journalist, like his new TV character? Bradley roars with laughter. “God no. I couldn’t possibly. That is a tough gig!”

BBC One’s new six episode comedy series Sun Trap will premiere on Wednesday May 27th at 10:45pm, it has been announced.

From Neil Webster and Charlie Skelton, Sun Trap is set on a fictional Spanish island and follows the fortunes of one of the UK’s best undercover reporters. Woody is forced to go on the run from the British authorities after being set up by his corrupt newspaper editor. Woody escapes to find the one man he can trust, his former mentor at the newspaper, Brutus. Now an ex-patriot living a quiet life running a bar on a Spanish island, Brutus is initially less than thrilled to see Woody. However, he soon realises that he can profit by putting his trouble-making protégé to work. The comedy series is produced by Happy Tramp Productions and stars Bradley Walsh, Kayvan Novak, Keith Allen, Emma Pierson, Alan Williams and Jamie Demetriou.

Dammit Sun Go Away!

the sun is beaming too brightly that it is drowning out the screen of my laptop. I can't see a thing. Why does my room  have to be a sun trap? and why don't i have curtains to prevent the sun from being a troll?

Small Mediterranean Food Forest Design

This is the design for the entry of our property. It's the most exposed, hottest, and driest area we have. It's therefore the least prone to our frequent hard frosts throughout much of the year, but as a safety precaution I've designed it around a ~4ft high sun trap with a small sunken kiddy pool as a further winter thermal mass. Hopefully, the deciduous kiwifruit will eliminate the solar gain of the sun trap and water mass in summer by entirely shading them out. That certainly won't be the case for the first couple of years, so I'll employ shade-cloth while the kiwifruit vines establish.
