The Chase

Bradley Walsh presents a quiz where four contestants answer general‑knowledge questions and test their knowledge under pressure. Working together as a team, they must take on the ruthless quiz genius known as the Chaser in order to secure a cash prize.

Bradley Walsh fronts a television quiz programme that pits a quartet of participants against a series of questions. The format is straightforward: four contestants sit together, answer a range of general‑knowledge prompts, and aim to build up a pot of money. Walsh’s role is to guide the game, introduce the challenges and keep the pace lively. During each episode the four players collaborate to tackle the questions, pooling their knowledge to maximise their earnings. They must decide together which answers to give, balancing confidence with caution. Their combined effort determines whether they can amass enough cash before confronting the next stage of the game and secure a chance to face the final opponent. The showdown pits the team against the programme’s resident quiz expert, known simply as the Chaser. This figure is portrayed as a ruthless genius of trivia, capable of out‑thinking the contestants at every turn. The Chaser’s task is to thwart the group’s progress, forcing them to answer under pressure and risk losing the money they have built up. If the contestants manage to outlast the Chaser, they walk away with the cash they have accumulated during the questioning round. The prize represents the culmination of their collective knowledge and strategic choices throughout the episode. Success therefore hinges on both individual recall and the team’s ability to work together under the Chaser’s relentless scrutiny.
