The Chase

Martin, Ian, Hannah and Vickie appear as the four contestants, each trying to outwit the Chaser and add money to the jackpot for the final chase. Their combined efforts determine the prize that can be won in the concluding round. The programme is presented by Bradley Walsh.

The show is a televised competition that pits everyday participants against a single, formidable opponent known as the Chaser. It is hosted by Bradley Walsh, who guides the proceedings and introduces each segment of the game. The format centres on a series of questions and strategic choices, with the ultimate aim of building a cash prize for a concluding round. Four contestants – Martin, Ian, Hannah and Vickie – take part in each episode. They each answer questions, trying to out‑wit the Chaser and, in doing so, add money to a shared jackpot. Their performance in these head‑to‑head rounds determines how much is available for the final chase, where the remaining contestants must work together to secure the prize. The final chase acts as the climax of the programme, with the accumulated jackpot at stake. If the team can successfully navigate the Chaser’s challenge, the money they have gathered throughout the episode is theirs to keep. Throughout the episode, Bradley Walsh provides commentary and keeps the pace moving, ensuring that the contestants’ efforts to increase the jackpot are clearly presented to the audience.
