The Chase

Bradley Walsh presents a game show where contestants must answer a series of general‑knowledge questions. The challenge is to complete the question set more quickly than the Chaser, the programme’s designated quiz opponent. Success depends on speed and breadth of knowledge, with the Chaser acting as the benchmark for each round.

The show is a game‑show format presented by Bradley Walsh, who acts as the front‑man and introduces each episode while steering the competition. His role is to keep things moving and to interact with the participants as they take part in the quiz in a lively setting. The central premise revolves around contestants tackling a sequence of general‑knowledge questions. Their task is to answer each query more swiftly than The Chaser, a figure who provides the benchmark for speed under pressure. Success depends on how quickly they can recall facts and respond before The Chaser does, turning ordinary trivia into a race against time. The format therefore creates a head‑to‑head contest where the speed of answering is as crucial as the correctness of the information. By pitting each player against The Chaser’s rapid pace, the programme adds a competitive edge that pushes participants to think fast, stay focused throughout the round and cope with an intense atmosphere. Throughout the episode, Walsh maintains the flow, offering prompts and clarifications as needed. His presence ties the segments together, ensuring that the challenge remains clear and that the audience can follow the quick‑fire nature of the quiz as contestants strive to outpace The Chaser throughout the broadcast.
