Also in 2006 he played a leading character, Tom, in an episode of Midsummer Murders. He also appears as the character Stemroach in the BBC comedy series Ideal and as Electric in the BBC's Thieves Like Us, and in the BBC1 series True Dare Kiss.

Bradley appeared in Nicholas Nickleby (2002) and had a small role in the 2007 comedy film Hot Fuzz as a farmer who illegally hoarded weapons, including a sea mine which later proves important to the story.

Argusfilch

David Bradley as Argus Filch with Mrs. Norris.

Bradley played Cohen the Barbarian in a Sky One adaptation of The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett.

In 2008 Bradley appeared in the role of Spooner in No Man's Land by Harold Pinter in the Gate Theatre, Dublin, opposite Michael Gambon as Hirst, in a production directed by Rupert Goold, which transferred to the London West End's Duke of York's Theatre, for which roles each received nominations for the 2009 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor, to be announced on 8 March 2009; if he wins, it would be Bradley's first Olivier award in that category; if Gambon wins, it would be his second.

In 2012, Bradley portrayed the 24th century pirate Solomon in the Doctor Who episode Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. It was announced in January 2013 that Bradley had been cast as actor William Hartnell (who played the first incarnation of the Doctor) in An Adventure in Space and Time, a BBC docudrama about the creation of Doctor Who in 1963.
