The Chase

Bradley Walsh presents a game where Jon from Boston, Ant from Newcastle, Liz from Bristol and Carl from Walsall test their wits against a ruthless Chaser. Each contestant strives to outsmart the Chaser in the competition, all under Walsh's guidance.

Bradley Walsh fronts the episode, taking on the role of Jon, a contestant hailing from Boston. Alongside him are three other participants: Ant, who comes from Newcastle; Liz, representing Bristol; and Carl, who joins from Walsall. The programme brings these four together under Walsh’s guidance, setting the scene for a head‑to‑head showdown. In the heart of the episode, the quartet puts their mental sharpness to the test against one of the show’s notoriously ruthless Chasers. Each contestant must rely on quick thinking and strategy as they confront the Chaser’s relentless questioning. The challenge is clear: outwit the Chaser and keep the pressure off the team. The dynamic of the game is driven by the contrast between the four contestants’ regional backgrounds and the singular focus of the Chaser. Jon’s Boston perspective, Ant’s Newcastle roots, Liz’s Bristol outlook, and Carl’s Walsall experience all feed into the collective effort to stay a step ahead. While the Chaser’s reputation for being unforgiving adds a layer of intensity, the episode remains centred on the contestants’ attempts to match wits and navigate the competition together.
