No

Ditto “no”.

Clogged rad?

Try disconnecting the bottom hose to drain the coolant then running a low pressure hosepipe into the rad top hose to flush it. Flush it the other way round, too.

If you don’t want to do that, you could try a coolant flushing agent from your parts store.

Sounds like air in the cooling system. You might try bleeding the air out of the system. BTW, don’t worry about a bleeder valve, those are there to make filling the system easier. Do everything else in the video the same.

This might also help.
