Picture
   Bradley Walsh with the cast of Cash On Delivery 2010
Bradley Walsh lives locally and happened to hear that CROADs were putting on a farce that held happy memories for him.  He played the lead Eric in the hit West End farce 'Cash on Delivery'. Bradley took the time to drop in on  a rehearsal, to watch, have a coffee and give some invaluable tips.  Our director Nick Turner was away on a well deserved summer break and was surprised to hear that his cast had received direction from the Master himself!!
