The Chase

Hosted by Bradley Walsh, the quiz programme challenges participants to answer a succession of general‑knowledge questions more quickly than The Chaser in each round. Contestants must out‑pace the rival in speed and accuracy under pressure to succeed and win the game.

Bradley Walsh fronts a new game‑show format in which everyday participants are pitted against a well‑known quiz adversary. The programme is built around a simple premise: contestants must answer a succession of general‑knowledge questions, but they’re not just playing for points – they have to outpace a specific opponent. The core of each episode revolves around the challenge of completing a series of trivia questions more quickly than The Chaser. Contestants are given the same set of queries as the Chaser, and the race against the clock determines who comes out on top. Success hinges on both breadth of knowledge and rapid recall. Walsh’s role is to guide the action, introducing each round and keeping the pace brisk as participants strive to beat The Chaser’s speed. His presence adds a familiar, steadying influence while the tension builds around who can answer faster. In essence, the show offers a straightforward yet compelling contest: answer general‑knowledge questions, beat The Chaser’s tempo, and claim victory. The blend of quick‑fire questioning and direct competition creates a clear, focused challenge for everyone involved.
