ITV fans say the same thing as Bradley Walsh series comes to an end
The dynamic duo of ITV star Bradley Walsh and his son Barney wrapped up the sixth series of 'Breaking Dad' on Tuesday (May 6) with an exhilarating finale in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
The father-son pair has been on an epic journey through Japan and Thailand, engaging in a variety of activities.
They have participated in sumo wrestling in Tokyo and bungee jumping in Gifu, gone go-karting in Osaka, and honed their Muay Thai skills in Bangkok.
In the final episode, Barney upped the ante with a heart-stopping jungle roller coaster ride through Chiang Mai's green landscape. They also braved the world's stinkiest fruit, with Bradley more taken aback by its hefty £36 price tag than its notorious odour and flavour.

The duo competed in a wooden go-kart race that seemed like a surefire way to void any travel insurance policy.
Reflecting on the show's six-season run, Bradley and Barney shared cherished memories from their adventures, stirring nostalgia among fans.
However, the trip down memory lane sparked concern among viewers about the show's future. Fans took to social media to express their hopes and fears.
One viewer posted: "Really hope this wasn't the last series! I really enjoy watch Bradley and Barney's adventures!! #breakingdad" Another shared their apprehension: "Genuinely hope this isn't the final episode of #BreakingDad that I've watched tonight, this father and son are great to watch together!"

Another chimed in, "Awww, I hope that isn't the last series. Such an entertaining show." There's buzz around whether Bradley Walsh and his son Barney will be back for another run, as ITV has yet to confirm a seventh series, reports the Express.
A well-recognised face since the late 1980s, Bradley first graced our screens with the show 'You Must Be Joking', before going on to star in 'Coronation Street', 'The Larkins', and 'Doctor Who'. But it's as the charismatic quizmaster of ITV's The Chase – a post he's held since its 2009 debut – that Bradley is perhaps best known.
Venturing into new territory, Bradley has joined forces with Barney for the BBC's fresh take on Gladiators. While chatting to BBC's Tommy Tiernan, Bradley shared the joy the show brings him.
He revealed: "It's one of the most wonderful things I've ever done because spending time with my lad. From the age of 18, he's now 26 by the way, that's how long the show's been running, it was just extraordinary."
Breaking Dad is available to watch on ITVX.

Initially airing on ITV in 2017, The Loch was created by Stephen Brady and follows DS Annie Redford (Breaking Bad's Laura Fraser), an officer with the Scottish Highland Police as she investigates the murder of piano teacher Niall Swift after he is found dead at the bottom of a cliff in the picturesque village of Lochnafoy, Loch Fyne, Inveraray.

Last week the six-part series (which was titled Loch Ness in the US) was added to Netflix, with viewers quickly taking the chance to binge it.

'This tartan-clad Broadchurch shows a lot of promise, not least in the way it plays on people's Loch Ness fascinations,' the Express wrote in its review. 'The peel-the-onion format here is familiar by now, but Stephen Brady's script and a group of fine performances keep it intriguing, nonetheless. A fine diversion for summer evenings,' The New York Times shared. Untamed Loch Ness Amy Bradley is Missing Critical: Between Life and Death Angi: Fake Life, True Crime The Sandman WWE Smack Down My Melody and Kuromi Squid Game The Jury 'You'll probably figure out the ending to Loch Ness well before the fog lifts, but my hunch is you're here mainly for the luscious scenery,' The Washington Post said. 'It does a good job of slowly building up a portrait of a troubled but brilliant man with little regard for authority but great regard for the law itself. Definitely worth a look,' The Post NZ added. Meanwhile user amwilson-50395 said the show 'feels fresh and has you second guessing at every clue uncovered'. 'The desire to uncover the truth is overwhelming. Suspenseful moments intertwined in a mix of both fast- and slow-moving plot points, if you are into British crime dramas, this needs to be added to your must watch list,' they wrote on IMDB. Others said it was 'compelling', 'gripping' and 'superb'. At the time of The Loch's premiere, its star Laura said the following when asked to describe it. 'It's all very dark and creepy but also has moments that are quite tongue-in-cheek. It reminds me a wee bit of the classic movie An American Werewolf in London. It has that that vibe and there's a lot of animal symbolism – wolves, crows, mutilated sheep and, of course, plenty of mentions of the Loch Ness monster.' More Trending When initially teasing details of the show, ITV shared: 'What secrets lie beneath the surface? In this stunningly set crime drama, some monsters are no myth. For Detective Annie Redford, the hunt is on to catch a killer. 'A murder in a small Scottish town sends the community into shock, and local detective Annie Redford is thrust into her first murder case.' The Loch also stars Don Gilet as psychological profiler Blake Albrighton, John Sessions as Annie's boss DCI Frank Smilie, Gray O'Brien as Alan Redford, Annie's husband, and William Ash as local tourist operator Leighton Thomas.

Loose Women erupts into blazing row over Bonnie Blue as viewers hit out
The Loose Women panel began to interrupt each other when discussing the controversy surrounding millionaire porn star Bonnie Blue The Loose Women panel erupted into a massive row on Monday when discussing controversial porn star Bonnie Blue. ITV's lunchtime chat show returned at the start of the week with Ruth Langsford as anchor, and she was joined by Mariella Frostrup, Frankie Bridge and Brenda Edwards on the panel. The ladies began to discuss pornographic film actress Bonnie, 26, who infamously had had sex with 1,057 men in 12 hours earlier this year, and the mass stunt became the inspiration for the title of a new Channel 4 documentary, 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story. The move has made the former NHS recruitment officer into a millionaire. A day before the tell-all documentary on Bonnie airs, the Loose Women discussed her motives. Brenda said that she never 'get her bits out' for any amount of money, "I just I'm just a can't use the word morals," but Ruth cut in to remind her that everyone has a different moral compass. " Brenda shot back: "Her mother wouldn't have changed her mind [about the situation] if she wasn't being paid by her daughter. Tell her to go into the room where it's all happening, and I bet you she wouldn't!" This Morning host Ruth reasoned that Bonnie's mother was likely trying to 'support' her daughter. Mariella then chimed in calling the whole thing a 'very tragic story' and that she 'feels sorry' for the family because money does not bring happiness. She added: "Isn't it about what you care about? We live in a world now where everything seems to be okay if you become famous or make loads of money for it. She's getting a documentary on a public-funded platform, which is Channel 4." Ruth tried to bring the topic back to what Bonnie has been saying about the situation, and Mariella snapped: "I don't care about her. I'm talking about us. I'm not saying she can't be happy, she says she's scared to go out, doesn't lead a normal life, but more importantly I think it's awful that we're even talking about it because I just think it's inflating something that's really distasteful and is really just a sad, sad story. We have all lost our moral compass." Former Saturdays singer Frankie tried to argue that parents are more likely to 'stand by' their children even if they disagree with their choices, but the ladies began to talk over each other in disagreement as Brenda rolled her eyes and slammed it as 'disgraceful' that money is being made from such a venture. She added: "Do it behind closed doors, I just don't need to see it!" The heated nature of the discussion did not go unnoticed by fans, and they flooded social media with comments begging them to stop interrupting one another. One viewer wrote on X: "Only Mariella's opinion counts," whilst another said: "Shut up mariella , stop interrupting," and a third said: "Mariella gets so intense on this panel." Another asked: "Have to shut off when Brenda starts her rants. The arm waving is irritating as well as her voice" but another viewer agreed with the former X Factor star and simply said: "Well said Brenda" after listening to her opinion. At a screening of the documentary, Bonnie insisted she is 'very happy' with her life. But her notoriety, and her boasts of sex with married men, who, she says, should not feel guilty about cheating on their wives, come at a price. In the film, Bonnie, whose real name is Tia Billinger, says: 'The last time I went out by myself was probably about six months ago. Now it is not that safe. 'I get 100s of death threats a day, so it is not that safe when I walk around. I say, 'It is going to happen at some point, someone will come and give me stick' and fair play to her, at least they are getting up off their sofa. My worst one is acid, if someone did acid, and I could see some spiteful girl doing that.' Bonnie has split from her husband and her closest friends seem to be Josh, who posts her videos, and a stylist. She says: 'My sort of circles got smaller, but my team are also my best friends.' Director Victoria Silver followed Bonnie for six months, gathering footage of her having sex, and was at her January marathon for a couple of hours.

BBCSSO/Wigglesworth/Batsashvili review – detailed and monumental Bruckner
The ghost of Richard Wagner hovers over Anton Bruckner's Seventh Symphony, most obviously in the monumental Adagio, completed mere months after the death of the Austrian composer's musical hero and occasional drinking buddy. The slow movement duly occupied centre stage in Ryan Wigglesworth's somewhat restrained interpretation with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, its utterances simple, yet profound. This was no funeral oration, however, but a fond farewell, its tender tones occasionally ruffled by the phalanx of Wagner tubas unsettling the harmonies towards the bottom of the orchestra. Wigglesworth's conducting benefited from his composer's ear: orchestral balance was spotless; instrumental colours blended with an instinct for detail. Equally effective was his way of always keeping something in reserve, especially important in Bruckner where the slow build is paramount. In the first movement, the architectural framework was clearly defined, the conductor adopting a (mostly) non-interventionist approach to phrasing and rubato. Not that the performance lacked incident, with great wodges of brass giving way to the sound of solitary flutes crying in the wilderness. In contrast, the scherzo was almost jaunty. It was left to the finale to climb one final mountain and end in a blaze of glory. A similar grasp of the musical trajectory paid dividends in Mozart's Piano Concerto No 20. Wigglesworth kept the orchestral sound down, though its sinister presence was always there, lurking beneath Mariam Batsashvili's vital account of the solo line. The Georgian pianist gave an enthralling, controlled performance, notes dropping like liquid pearls. Her choice of Beethoven's flinty cadenzas upped the dramatic stakes. The central Romance was finessed with a supple grace before a fiery finale in which the conductor finally allowed the orchestra its head. Batsashvili's encore, Liszt's La Campanella, was dispatched in a blur of coruscating finger work, proving she can showboat with the best. The concert opened with For Laura, after Bach, composed by the conductor in tribute to the BBCSSO's former leader Laura Samuel, who died last year. Inspired by her recording of the Gigue from Bach's third solo partita, Wigglesworth incorporated its themes into an elaborate 10-minute memorial for strings where wheeling violins soared heavenward in intricate canons and sombre cello lines hinted at heartbeats and lullabies. Listen again on BBC Sounds until 12 October. The Proms continue until 13 September.
