You may be looking for his DWU counterpart.

Bradley Walsh (born 4 June 1960[1]) played the Thirteenth Doctor companion Graham O'Brien in series 11 and series 12 of Doctor Who. Walsh also played Elijah Spellman/Odd Bob the Clown/Pied Piper in The Sarah Jane Adventures, in the story The Day of the Clown.

He was the only actor who portrayed a member of Team Tardis who didn't have to audition unlike his co-stars.

Walsh is the oldest actor to play an ongoing companion on Doctor Who, though Lindsay Duncan and Bernard Cribbins were older when they played one-off companions Adelaide Brooke and Wilfred Mott, respectively.

Career

Outside of Doctor Who, Walsh is best known for presenting the ITV game show The Chase and the TV revival of Blankety Blank. He also appeared in Coronation Street between 2004 and 2006 as Mike Baldwin's nephew Danny, and presented Wheel of Fortune, another ITV game show, in 1997. He also appeared alongside son Barney Walsh in the 2020 ITV travelogue series Bradley Walsh & Son: Breaking Dad, which was referenced in the DWM 549 edition of The Daft Dimension.

In the DWU

Bradley Walsh was mentioned in passing (but not by name) in the 2018 novel The Good Doctor by Juno Dawson. He also had a visual cameo in The Zygon Isolation, released in 2020.
