The story, neutrally told

Mixed · 2Bradley Walsh is to present a new four-part documentary series, Bradley Walsh: Out of This World, on Sky HISTORY, premiering on Tuesday 3 November. Mixed · 2It follows Bradley Walsh: Egypt's Cosmic Code, in which he explored the pyramids last year; that series is available to watch now on Sky HISTORY, and the Express calls the new one his second series with the channel. Mixed · 2According to the series synopsis, Walsh approaches the unexplained, from UFOs and USOs to Atlantis, Stonehenge and crop circles, with "an open mind, a healthy dose of scepticism and plenty of laughs".

Centre · 1The UFO episode begins with Britain's declassified Ministry of Defence files, then covers the Rendlesham Forest incident and a trip to Arizona to meet a witness of the Phoenix Lights. Right · 1The Express, citing the Mirror, adds that he speaks to Nick Pope in what it describes as Pope's final interview before his death in April 2026, hears from Lieutenant Colonel Charles 'Chuck' Halt on Rendlesham, and meets Dr Lynne Kitei, who witnessed the Phoenix Lights. Mixed · 2Other segments cover military UAP encounters and the 'Tic Tac' object, Swedish UFO archives, the 'Ghost Rockets' of the 1940s and the Baltic Sea Anomaly, Atlantis in southern Spain, and how Stonehenge was built.

Right · 1The Express frames the announcement alongside Walsh's decision not to return to the BBC's Blankety Blank, telling Radio Times he had no time because he was "all taken up in October and November", adding "Maybe next year." Centre · 1Radio Times also summarises Walsh's background as a former footballer and actor, known for Coronation Street, Doctor Who and Law & Order: UK, and now as presenter of The Chase and Gladiators.

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.
