The Chase

Hosted by Bradley Walsh, four contestants answer a range of general‑knowledge questions and work together as a team. They then take on one of the ruthless Chasers, striving to outwit the challenger and secure a cash prize for the group.

Bradley Walsh fronts the programme, acting as both presenter and guide for the action. Each episode brings together four contestants who’re stepping onto the set ready for a rapid‑fire quiz, maintaining a lively pace throughout each episode. Walsh introduces the format, explains the rules, and keeps the momentum going as the participants tackle a series of general‑knowledge questions. The quartet works collaboratively, pooling their individual strengths to answer the varied questions presented to them. Their combined knowledge spans a wide range of topics, and they must communicate quickly and accurately to maximise the number of correct responses as the clock ticks. This teamwork is essential as they progress through the initial stages of the game. After building a modest bank, the team faces a decisive challenge: confronting one of the show's ruthless Chasers. The confrontation typically occurs after the initial rounds. The Chaser, a determined opponent, seeks to halt their advance and protect the prize pool. Contestants must stay focused and coordinated, using the information they’ve gathered to outmaneuvre the Chaser’s aggressive tactics. Should the contestants succeed in outlasting the Chaser, they claim a cash prize that reflects the amount they’ve accumulated. The prize is awarded at the end of the game. The final objective is to walk away with the maximum possible winnings, rewarding both their breadth of knowledge and their ability to function as a cohesive unit under pressure.
