I once sold him (Brian Conley, not Bradley Walsh) some crab flavoured sticks (did not contain crab) during my time on the meat & fish counter at Sainsburys on the Dome Roundabout, Watford. I can’t remember the quantity - sorry about that.

When I was seconded onto trolley collection one Tuesday evening (quite a lonely pursuit, tbh), I asked Pam St. Clement if I could take her trolley once she’d finished loading her groceries into the back of her Suzuki Vitara, and she said yes I could. So I did, I took it back to where the trolleys were kept at the front of the store for her. Probably about 50-60 metres or so away.

A real hot-spot for major celelbrities.

Two lovely stories, thank you.

there’s a place for tales like these.

Oh I thought it was that one based on the 2p/10p shove coin machines we all played while the dull bands were on at ATP Pontins.

Will now take it more seriously.

That is Tipping Point presented by charisma sponge Ben Shepherd.

Ah yes, thank you :smiley:

I heard that Ben Shepherd loves ‘The Machine’ so much that he’s been kicked out by his wife and spends his nights in the studio in a sleeping bag on the red bit where the coins land after they’ve dropped.

@anon5266188, did I ever tell you about the time I was walking through Bankside when I saw Bradders filming an episode of Law & Order UK? He and his partner simply had to have a quick chat then get into the car, but it took several takes, and in one, he managed to open the car door onto himself so he got a bit hurt, which drew a mix of laughter and slight annoyance from the crew.

You didn’t tell me about that, please do.

So, this one time, a few years back, I was walking through Bankside when I saw Bradders filming an episode of Law & Order UK. He and his partner simply had to have a quick chat then get into the car, but it took several takes, and in one, he managed to open the car door onto himself so he got a bit hurt, which drew a mix of laughter and slight annoyance from the crew.

Superb anecdote.

Dunno if I said it before in this thread (cba to check) but Law & Order UK is legit great. They used to film it in Woking too, saw them under the bridge by Brewery Road car park once.

I also have a Bradders anecdote that, again, I can’t remember if I’ve already written in this thread but it can wait.

I see he’s in the new Doctor Who
