The Chase

Calum, Suzanne, Emma and Daniel each take on the Chaser, employing their wits to answer a series of questions and thereby add money to the jackpot that will be used in the final chase. The programme is presented by Bradley Walsh.

The programme brings together four contestants—Calum, Suzanne, Emma and Daniel—under the guidance of host Bradley Walsh. It’s a contest where these participants test themselves against a singular opponent. The core of the episode sees the quartet matching wits with the Chaser. Their goal is to accrue cash that will feed into the jackpot, which will later be contested in the final chase. Every correct answer they give adds a further sum to the prize, meaning the more they succeed, the larger the final pot becomes. Each contestant contributes to the growing prize pool, meaning their individual successes directly boost the amount at stake for the concluding round. The format hinges on their ability to outthink the Chaser and secure as much money as possible. If they manage to keep the Chaser at bay, the accumulated amount moves forward to the concluding stage. Once the jackpot has been built, the final chase offers the ultimate test, with the accumulated sum on the line. Bradley Walsh continues to steer the action, introducing each segment and keeping the pace brisk throughout the episode. Walsh’s role is to guide the contestants through each phase, announcing the stakes and keeping the tension high as the final chase approaches.
