Who built the pyramids? Giza clue, Bradley..

Walsh is on a Chase for the truth behind iconic Egypt landmarks

- BY KAREN ROCKETT

HE'S the cheeky chappy quiz-master of The Chase whose acting prowess has won him roles in Doctor Who and Coronation Street - but now Bradley Walsh is determined to show he's the ultimate chameleon by combining his engineering past with his secret passion, Egypt.

The 64-year-old presenter, actor, comic and former apprentice engineer at Rolls-Royce has turned his hand to serious documentary - albeit with the occasional joke as he explores the North African country's "Cosmic Code" for the Sky History Channel.

FASCINATION

The new three-part series, starting today, debates whether the ancient Egyptians could have ever actually built the pyramids, and if they didn't, then who did? Wearing an Indiana Jones hat and humming the theme tune from Raiders of the Lost Ark, Bradley is determined to discover if aliens built the awe-inspiring ancient structures... as some conspiracy theorists believe.

"I'll be asking all the questions and we shall find out once and for all," he promises.
