Well, this isn't exactly the HOME of the Bradshaws because, as you know, the Bradshaws live in a little two-up two-down terraced house not far from you.
But it is WELCOME to the Bradshaws website, their digital home, where we’ll attempt to amuse and inform you, Bradshaws-wise, on all subjects.
He'll be out and about banging on about his NEW Bradshaws novel and audiobook, out early this Summer.
More importantly, bringing you a feast of fun and flabbergastingness with his unique music, catchy choruses, and of course ...
stories and sketches from the new book and his forty-odd year collection. Dates will be posted as soon as they're confirmed.
All the 'other' stuff - blog, podcast, music, stories, poems and the kitchen sink will appear on here and probably surprise you.
He is currently recording the first Bradshaws novel as an audiobook to follow the book publication. It's a belter!
Please do stay in touch via the contact page to get on the list for pre-release specials.
'The Bradshaws' is a British comedy soapette running continuously on radio for 43 years (and still counting), and featuring the family Bradshaw - Alf, Audrey and little Billy (and his Budgie Gang pals), Uncle Wally One-ball, Fleabag the Cat and many more.
The Bradshaws comedies shouldn't be confused with the Bradshaw Mountains, a mountain range in central Arizona, USA, which is significantly taller.
The stories, are written, voiced and produced by just one person, Buzz Hawkins, who (staying with the height theme a little longer) is far too small to do all these things on his own. But he does, so ner!
Anyway, instead of us having to type loads of stuff and possibly getting repetitive strain injury, may we suggest that you can learn far more about the Bradshaws by listening to the stories on radio, on CD, online or on your own. You could also learn more by reading the Bradshaws hardback comic book 'The Bradshaws An' All That', but that may involve you buying a copy from our Corner Shop Oops! Sorry, they're SOLD OUT. Maybe you could borrow one from a generously-spirited friend - if you have any?

Have a look around our website and you'll find lots of info here too. Or, simply put 'the Bradshaws' or 'Buzz Hawkins' in your favourite search engine and you'll find tons of links - mostly lies, but interesting nevertheless - including, possibly, some poor quality Youtube videos of the 1994 TV series. Don't say you were not warned.
Have fun, look around and please stay touch!
