The Chase

Paul, Alex, Catherine and Harriett appear as the four contestants, each pitting their wits against the Chaser. Their successful answers add cash to the jackpot that will be at stake in the final chase. The programme is presented by Bradley Walsh.

The programme is a quiz‑style competition in which a group of participants takes on a formidable opponent known as the Chaser, with the whole affair hosted by Bradley Walsh. Walsh steers the show, introducing each segment and keeping the pace lively as the contestants strive to outthink their adversary. Four individuals – Paul, Alex, Catherine and Harriett – form the line‑up of contestants. Each of them puts their knowledge to the test, trying to outwit the Chaser and, in the process, boost the amount of money that sits in the jackpot. Their success in these rounds directly feeds the prize pool that will be at stake in the concluding segment. The money they accumulate is earmarked for the final chase, the decisive round where the team’s combined earnings are on the line. As the contestants add to the jackpot, the tension rises, because the ultimate goal is to see whether they can collectively beat the Chaser and walk away with the cash they’ve built up. Throughout the episode, Bradley Walsh provides commentary and guidance, linking the individual attempts to the larger goal of the final chase. The format centres on the clash of wits between the four contestants and the Chaser, with every correct answer not only advancing the game but also increasing the stakes for the climactic showdown.
