Bradley Walsh hosts the show, where four contestants answer general‑knowledge questions and cooperate as a team. They then take on the ruthless quiz genius known as the Chaser, striving to secure a cash prize in the competition for their collective effort.

Bradley Walsh fronts a television programme that pits a small team against a formidable quiz opponent. In each episode, four participants gather to answer a series of general‑knowledge questions under Walsh’s guidance. The format centres on a blend of individual recall and collective effort, with the presenter steering the action and keeping the pace lively. The core of the show sees the quartet tackling a range of trivia topics, from history to pop culture, as they strive to accumulate points. Their progress hinges on teamwork; they must collaborate, discuss answers, and support one another to build a solid bank of cash. Once they’ve gathered enough, they confront the programme’s resident quiz genius, known simply as the Chaser, whose reputation for ruthlessness adds a high‑stakes element to the competition. The final showdown pits the contestants’ collective knowledge against the Chaser’s expertise, with the ultimate goal of safeguarding the money they’ve earned. Success means the team walks away with the cash prize, while failure sees the Chaser claim the winnings. Walsh’s role throughout is to facilitate the tension, provide commentary, and ensure the contestants remain focused as they navigate the pressure of this high‑risk quiz environment. Throughout each episode, the tension builds as the contestants weigh their answers against the Chaser’s formidable reputation. The combination of rapid‑fire questioning and strategic teamwork creates a compelling race for the cash prize.
