BBC Radio Wales has ordered a third series of hit North Wales Police comedy, BRAVO TWO CHARLIES. The programme proved hugely popular not only in Wales but across the UK, with the show being one of the most downloaded Radio Wales programmes on the BBC Sounds app.

Writers, Matt Leys (whose writing credits stretch from The Bill to new children’s comedy drama, Flatmates) and Martin Trenaman (Phone Shop, Horrible Histories, Queens of Mystery) said “We are chuffed to bits to be bringing these dangerous lunatics back for another shift. Be afraid, north Wales. Be very afraid.”

The cast is led by Trenaman, alongside Welsh favourites Rhys ap Trefor, Laura Dalgleish, Rhian Green, Sion Pritchard, Simon Holland Roberts and Sarah Breese. The action follows three North Wales Police squad cars on their far from routine shifts, across the region.

Producer, Steve Doherty of Giddy Goat Productions said: “This is such a great team of talented writers and performers. We recorded the last series ‘on location’ at an owl sanctuary in north Wales. It was literally a hoot from beginning to end.”

Leys and Trenaman added, “We’re really looking forward to socially distancing with our amazing cast again in the very funny air of Llandudno. It’s the best place in the world to make a comedy show, and this time we’ll be bringing a superyacht, a lost parachutist, a haunted police car and some Druids. Recording on location means you can literally hear the wide-open spaces of North Wales. And the owls. Really quite a lot of owls.”

Bravo Two Charlies will air on BBC Radio Wales in the summer of 2021. The first two series are available to stream via BBC Sounds.
