The Chase

Bradley Walsh presents a quiz in which four contestants answer general‑knowledge questions and cooperate as a unit. Together they must take on the ruthless quiz genius the Chaser, answering correctly and hoping to secure a cash prize for themselves and claim.

Bradley Walsh fronts a quiz programme that pits a group of four contestants against a formidable opponent. The show is built around general knowledge questions, with Walsh guiding the action as participants attempt to outwit the challenges laid before them. His role is to present the game, introduce the contestants, and keep the pace moving as the competition unfolds. He also outlines the rules and keeps the atmosphere lively as the contestants move through each stage. The heart of the format sees the four players answering a series of general‑knowledge queries, working together as a unit. Their collective aim is to confront the Chaser – described as a ruthless quiz genius – and try to out‑score him. By pooling their knowledge and strategising as a team, they hope to overcome the Chaser’s expertise and progress towards the ultimate reward. Because the Chaser's known for his ruthless approach, the team've got to coordinate their answers carefully. Success in the game translates directly into a cash prize, which the contestants strive to secure. The tension lies in the balance between the team's combined effort and the Chaser’s individual brilliance. If they manage to outplay the Chaser, they walk away with the money; otherwise, the prize remains out of reach. The show’s structure hinges on this high‑stakes showdown between teamwork and singular quiz mastery. When they've succeeded, the cash prize's awarded on the spot, marking the culmination of their collaborative effort.
