The Chase

Rob, Cydney, Pauline and Joel are the contestants who pit their wits against the Chaser, each adding money to the jackpot for the final chase. The programme is presented by Bradley Walsh, who guides the contestants through the game in each episode.

The show is a single episode of a British quiz‑show format, presented by Bradley Walsh. Walsh opens the programme, introduces the contestants and outlines the rules that will govern the game. The series centres on a showdown between everyday participants and a professional quizzer known as the Chaser, creating a clear tension between the players' knowledge and the Chaser's expertise. As the host, Walsh keeps the pace brisk, adds a touch of humour and ensures viewers understand what’s at stake. In this episode, four contestants – Rob, Cydney, Pauline and Joel – each take a turn trying to out‑think the Chaser. They face a series of rapid‑fire questions, and every correct response adds cash to a shared jackpot. The aim for each player is to maximise the amount contributed, building a larger prize pool that will be contested in the final round. Their combined efforts determine how much money is ultimately at risk when the decisive chase begins. The climax of the programme is the final chase, where the accumulated prize fund is put on the line. If the team can stay ahead of the Chaser, the money they have built up is theirs to keep. Throughout the episode, Walsh provides running commentary, updates the scoreboard after each contestant’s turn and injects a bit of banter, bringing the competition to a clear conclusion and revealing which participants succeed and which are caught.
