Doctor Who airs on BBC One from 6.55pm to 7.45pm while The Chase kicks off at 7pm and runs until 8pm on ITV.
Thank goodness for catch-up TV, right?!
Bradley made his Doctor Who debut on Sunday night as the Doctor’s new companion, Graham O’Brien.
It was a dream role for Bradley, who has been a Doctor Who fan since childhood.
He said recently: “I remember watching William Hartnell as the first Doctor. Black and white made it very scary for a youngster like myself. I was petrified but even though I’d watch most of it from behind the sofa through my fingers, I became a fan.”
It’s the first series to star a female Doctor, with Broadchurch’s Jodie Whittaker taking over.
Ratings were a huge success, drawing the programme’s biggest launch viewing figures in ten years, with an average of 8.2 million people tuning in.
The first episode introduced viewers to Jodie’s Doctor and her three companions – Graham, Ryan (Tosin Cole) and Yasmin (Mandip Gill).
Meanwhile, the new series of The Chase, hosted by Bradley, kicks off with a Coronation Street special.

Bradley previously revealed how he juggled filming for Doctor Who with his ongoing commitments on The Chase.
He told Digital Spy that producers of both shows “plate-spin between the two of them.”
“That’s an ongoing contract I have with ITV so I have to take care of that,” he said. “Everyone here at the Beeb, especially [producer] Matt and his team, has been unbelievably accommodating.”
