About This Program ✦
The upcoming Emmerdale special is a televised episode that brings the long‑running soap into a game‑show setting. Rather than following the usual village storylines, this instalment pits the series’ regulars against a challenging quiz format, offering viewers a fresh twist on familiar faces. By moving the regular cast into a competitive quiz environment, the special provides a change of pace from the usual village storylines. In the centre of the competition are four of the show’s best‑known actors – Mark Charnock, Charley Webb, Matthew Wolfenden and Amy Walsh. Together they face off with the quiz genius known simply as the Chaser, testing their knowledge in a bid to outwit the seasoned question‑master. The entire event is steered by presenter Bradley Walsh, whose role is to introduce the rounds, keep the pace moving and interact with the contestants as they answer. Walsh’s familiar presenting style provides a steady framework for the high‑stakes questioning that unfolds throughout the episode. The ultimate aim of the challenge is to win a cash prize that will be donated to charity. By combining the popular Emmerdale cast with a rigorous quiz format, the special seeks to raise funds while delivering an entertaining experience for both fans of the soap and quiz enthusiasts alike.
The Chase Celebrity Special broadcasts on Challenge at 11:00am, Friday, 6 February 2026. (Subtitles, repeat)
