Walsh, Bradley

Bradley Walsh (1960- ) is a popular British actor and TV presenter. In January 2025, Jason Colavito revealed that “Sky History, the joint venture between Britain’s Sky broadcasting and the History channel, announced the launch of a new series, Egypt’s Cosmic Code, starring Doctor Who actor and game show host Bradley Walsh. According to a press release promoting the series, which debuts this March, Walsh has a lifelong fascination with the ancient astronaut theory and will be using this series to “challenge” the “orthodoxy” of Egyptology by looking at alternative explanations (i.e. ancient astronauts, Atlantis, the Orion Correlation, etc.) and questioning whether and how the Egyptians could possibly have build the pyramids and the Sphinx 4,500 years ago. All in all, it’s both a bog-standard TV fringe fest and also deeply disappointing that the History channel is poisoning history with original programming in other countries, too.

Bradley’s personal interest in such ‘fringe’ subjects may add an extra element to this three-part series(a). He is currently doing a promotional media tour highlighting his familiarity with the subject and ending one interview with “Within daylight during Khufu’s life, they’d have had to lay each block every 2 minutes. It’s impossible. It’s impossible, no matter what anyone tells you how brilliant the Egyptians were, it’s impossible. We couldn’t do it today, with the technology today. And you wouldn’t laden yourself with making something within 360 the true north, lined up by the stars or not, it’s complete nonsense. So someone built those pyramids, but it weren’t the Egyptians, and I’m convinced, and that’s what I’m going to find out.”^(b)
