The Chase Celebrity Special

Mark Chapman, Gillian Joseph, Ryan Sidebottom and Fred MacAulay compete by answering general‑knowledge questions, forming a cohesive team. Together they take on a Chaser, using their combined knowledge to outwit him and secure a significant charity prize for a good cause.

The show is a televised episode that brings together four familiar faces – Mark Chapman, Gillian Joseph, Ryan Sidebottom and Fred MacAulay. It follows the familiar quiz‑show format, positioning the four as a single team tasked with answering a series of general‑knowledge questions. The programme is presented as a light‑hearted competition, with the added incentive of raising money for a charitable cause. In each segment the quartet works collaboratively, each member contributing answers as the questions progress. Their collective effort is directed against a single, specialised opponent known as the Chaser, whose role is to challenge the team’s knowledge and speed. By successfully navigating the Chaser’s obstacles, the team aims to secure a prize that will be donated to charity, turning the quiz into a fundraiser as well as a test of intellect. The episode’s structure highlights both the camaraderie among the participants and the pressure of competing against a seasoned quizzer. As the team advances, the tension builds around whether their combined knowledge will be enough to outwit the Chaser and claim the charitable reward. Ultimately, the programme blends trivia, teamwork and a charitable motive into a concise, entertaining contest.
