Beat the Chasers

Bradley Walsh presents a quiz show in which contestants compete against the Chasers, a panel of expert quizzers. Each player chooses to take on two, three, four or all five Chasers at once, determining the difficulty of their round overall.

Bradley Walsh fronts a quiz‑style programme in which members of the public take on the Chasers, a group of seasoned quizzers. The show’s premise centres on the interaction between Walsh’s hosting duties and the contestants’ attempts to outwit the experts. It’s presented in a straightforward, game‑show format that pits ordinary players against highly knowledgeable opponents. The core of each episode lies in the choice given to the contestants: they may decide whether to face two, three, four or all five of the Chasers at the same time. This decision determines the level of challenge they’ll encounter, as each additional Chaser raises the difficulty of the round. The contestants’ selection directly shapes the dynamics of the competition. Walsh’s role is to guide the participants through this decision‑making process, explaining the options and overseeing the gameplay. By offering a range of possible match‑ups, the programme creates a flexible structure where the stakes can be adjusted according to the players’ confidence. The format therefore balances the expertise of the Chasers with the strategic choices made by the contestants, all under Walsh’s steady presentation.
