The Chase

Bradley Walsh hosts a new game show in which participants must answer a sequence of general‑knowledge questions. The challenge is to complete the round more quickly than the programme’s resident expert, known as The Chaser, testing both speed and accuracy.

Bradley Walsh is the host of a fresh game‑show format that pits everyday contestants against a well‑known quiz figure. The programme is built around Walsh’s familiar presenting style, guiding participants through a fast‑paced challenge that hinges on quick thinking and rapid recall. It’s presented as a straightforward competition, with the emphasis firmly on the speed at which answers are given. At the heart of the show, players are presented with a series of general‑knowledge questions. Their task is simple in description but demanding in execution: they must answer each query correctly and, crucially, do so faster than The Chaser. The Chaser, a recognised name in the quiz world, serves as the benchmark against which each contestant’s performance is measured. Success depends on both accuracy and the ability to outpace this seasoned opponent. The structure of the game revolves entirely around this race against The Chaser, with Walsh facilitating the flow of questions and keeping the tempo brisk. The challenge is framed as a direct contest of speed, where the quicker mind wins. By focusing on the race element, the programme creates a clear, high‑stakes environment that tests participants’ knowledge under pressure, all while Walsh provides the connective commentary that ties each round together.
