BBC Radio Wales orders third series

BBC Radio Wales has ordered a third series of its police comedy, Bravo Two Charlies.

The series stars Phoneshop and Inbetweeners actor Martin Trenaman, who writes it with Matt Leys.

In a statement, the pair 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 also includes Rhys ap Trefor, Laura Dalgleish, Rhian Green, Sion Pritchard, Simon Holland Roberts and Sarah Breese.

Producer Steve Doherty of Llandudno-based 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.
