The Chase

Bradley Walsh hosts a quiz where four contestants answer general‑knowledge questions. Working together, they aim to outwit the ruthless quiz genius known as the Chaser in a high‑stakes showdown and secure a cash prize. Each round tests their knowledge under pressure.

Bradley Walsh fronts this television programme, presented as a single episode of a quiz‑style competition. The format is built around a straightforward premise: a host guides a group of participants through a series of question‑and‑answer rounds, all within the confines of one broadcast. Its structure mirrors that of many game‑show formats, with Walsh steering the action from start to finish. In each instalment, four contestants sit together and tackle a range of general‑knowledge questions. They aren’t playing solo; instead, they must cooperate, pooling their knowledge to answer each query correctly. This collaborative approach is central to the game, as the team’s combined effort determines whether they can progress further and ultimately claim the prize on offer. The focal point of the challenge is the Chaser, portrayed as a ruthless quiz genius whose expertise far exceeds that of the average player. The team’s collective answers are pitted directly against the Chaser’s formidable skill, creating a high‑stakes showdown where the contestants must outthink a seasoned trivia specialist. The Chaser’s reputation for relentless precision adds tension to every round, pushing the team to work even more closely together. If the quartet manages to out‑answer the Chaser, they secure a cash prize. The monetary reward is the tangible goal that drives the contestants’ teamwork and determination throughout the episode, providing a clear incentive for them to overcome the Chaser’s challenge and walk away with the winnings.
