The Chase is a British television quiz show broadcast on ITV and hosted by Bradley Walsh. Contestants play against a professional quizzer, known as the "chaser", who attempts to prevent them from winning a cash prize. The chasers are Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha and Jenny Ryan. Labbett and Wallace have both been chasers since series 1, while Hegerty joined in series 2, Sinha in series 4 and Ryan in series 9.

A team of four contestants individually attempt to amass as much money as possible, which is later added to a prize fund if the contestant survives their individual chase. The chaser must attempt to catch each contestant during their individual chase, eliminating that person from the game and preventing the money from being added to the collective prize fund. Later, in the final round, contestants who survived their individual chases play collectively as a team against the chaser for an equal share of the prize fund.[5]

With a regular audience of three to five million, The Chase is one of ITV's most successful daytime shows ever.[6] It has been nominated four times for "Best Daytime Show" at the National Television Awards, winning in 2016 and 2017.[7] It has also become a successful international franchise: regional versions have been made in Australia, China, Croatia, Germany, Israel, Norway, Russia, Serbia, Turkey and the United States. Labbett, Hegerty and Wallace also feature as chasers on the Australian version, Labbett also featured as the sole chaser on the now-defunct American version.

Episodes of The Chase are often repeated on ITV on weekends, and weekdays when the newest series is on a break. Repeats also occasionally air on ITV4 and frequently on Challenge.

Gameplay

Cash Builder and Head-to-Head rounds

Each contestant individually attempts to build up the team's prize fund through two rounds. The first round, known as the "Cash Builder", sees each contestant answering as many questions as they can within one minute, with each correct answer being worth £1,000. After completing the Cash Builder, the contestant enters the "Head-to-Head" round, in which the contestant attempts to bring the money that he or she earned to the bottom of a seven-step money board (referred to as "home"). In the first series, the board was eight steps long.

Before the round begins, the money is placed three steps down from the top of the board, and the contestant can choose to either start at that position, or begin one step further from or closer to the chaser. Should the contestant elect to stay where he or she is currently, he or she must answer five questions correctly in order to bank the money into the prize fund. If the contestant moves closer to the chaser, the contestant must answer six questions correctly, but earn a larger amount of cash. If the contestant moves closer to home, the contestant needs only answer four questions correctly, but the reward is lower. In some cases (especially in the second half of the individual rounds, or for contestants who do poorly in the Cash Builder round), the lower offer may be zero, or even negative, which means the contestants lose money if the player makes it home, but earn an extra participant in the Final Chase.

Once the contestant chooses a starting position, they begin the Head-to-Head in which both the contestant and chaser are given multiple-choice questions, each with three answers. If either the chaser or contestant locks in an answer, their opponent has five seconds to lock in or be locked out. For each correct answer made by the players, he or she moves one step down the board, while an incorrect answer forces the players to stay where they are.

Questions continue until either the contestant has answered enough correctly to return home and bank the money they chose to take, or the chaser has answered enough questions correctly to reach the same space as the contestant. If the chaser manages to do this, then the contestant is "caught" and is eliminated from the contest with the money removed from the board.

If all four contestants are caught by the chaser, the team nominates one contestant to proceed to the Final Chase to win £1,000 each. In the celebrity editions, as they are accumulating money to donate to the nominated charites, the lowest offer is always £1,000, which is also the amount donated to each celebrities' chosen charties if they are all caught, or be caught at the Final Chase.

Final Chase

In order to win the prize fund that is banked, the surviving contestants of the last series of rounds work together as a team to beat the chaser in one final round of questions. Two question sets, A and B, are used in this round in which the contestants decide which to answer questions from, while the other set is used for the chaser. The round is divided into two phases–the first phase involves contestants answering questions in order to earn themselves steps to keep them ahead of the chaser, while the second phase sees the chaser trying to match these steps, in order to "catch" the team and prevent them winning the total prize fund.

Before the first phase begins, the contestants are given a head-start of one step per contestant participating in the round. The team is then given two minutes to answer as many questions as they can correctly, with each correct answer earning them one more step from the chaser. To answer a question, a contestant must use their buzzer to do so. If another contestant answers after a different buzzer sounds, the question will be thrown out. No buzzer is used if only one contestant makes it to the Final Chase.

When the second phase of the round begins, the chaser has the same time of two minutes to catch the contestants. To do so, the chaser must match the number of the steps contestants earned in the first phase. However, should the chaser pass or answer incorrectly, the clock is briefly stopped and the question is given to the contestants. If the contestants answer the chaser's question correctly, the chaser is pushed one step back. From series 3 onwards, if the contestants answer correctly and the chaser is at the starting line, contestants earn an additional step that the chaser must match. Afterward, the time limit and chaser's questions continue.

If the chaser achieves the same number of steps that the contestants delivered before time is up, then the contestants lose their prize fund and leave empty-handed. But if two minutes pass and contestants are not "caught", they win the prize fund. The prize fund is divided equally between all contestants that were not eliminated before the Final Chase.

Spin-offs

A spin-off titled The Chase: Celebrity Special featuring celebrity teams as contestants began airing on ITV in 2011. As many contestants are comedians or actors, there is a much-higher comedic element. The game is played exactly the same way as the regular version. However, if all four celebrities have been caught by the chaser, the prize fund during the Final Chase is £20,000 (originally £4,000). If the team is caught during the Final Chase, a consolation prize of £1,000 is awarded to the charities for each celebrity who advanced to this stage.

In February 2017, ITV commissioned The Family Chase, a spin-off featuring a team of four family members.[13] The six episode spin-off debuted on 2 September 2017.[14]

International broadcasts

  •  Australia  Episodes of the British version of The Chase air on weekday afternoons at 3:00 pm on the Seven Network to good ratings. Seven also considered producing a local version, and filmed a pilot episode on the UK set, but decided not to proceed.[52] However, in mid-2015 a local version was commissioned to replace Deal or No Deal and Million Dollar Minute in a bid to revive ratings for its struggling 6:00 pm nightly news.[53][54][55] Hegerty, Labbett and Wallace feature as three of the six chasers on the Australian version.[10][56] They are currently airing series 8.
  •  New Zealand  Episodes of the British version of The Chase air on Monday to Saturday afternoons at 4:55 pm on TVNZ 1, while The Celebrity Chase airs on Sunday afternoons at 4:55 pm. The show frequently ranks in the weekly top-20 most watched TV shows, drawing in an average of 1.3 million viewers per week.[57] As of September 2018, they are currently airing series 11.[58]

Reception

Critical reception

Bradley Walsh, presenter of the show

The Chase is highly popular with critics and viewers. Despite early criticism,[59] opinion has improved over time. Some critics, as well as the chasers,[6] put the show's success down to Walsh as host and his many memorable moments, some of which come from questions and/or answers which often leave him in hysterics.[60] Labbett also said that the sense of fun and the variety of chasers is a major factor.[6] Sinha said, "The format has been brilliantly thought out. No matter the relative strengths of the players, it is resolutely a team game, with a dramatic climax."[61]

Controversies

The Chase has also been at the centre of controversy on several occasions, in which viewers have complained that, during the Final Chase, Walsh asks the chasers' questions more quickly than those of the contestants.[62][63] In an interview with the Radio Times, however, Walsh repudiated those claims: "We have lawyers on the floor to watch all of this. I read [the questions] at exactly the same speed for both." He went on to say, "Don't forget, if I've got Mark Labbett answering questions for two minutes and I've got a team answering for two minutes, the team aren't going to be quicker. Simple as that, because they have to press the button [before answering], which is why they get a head start based on how many people are in the final. If you've got three people in the final chase that's a three step head start–that's about a twelve second advantage."[64]

There have also been a number of occasions in which the chaser has won with (almost) no time remaining on the clock,[65][66][67] but spokespeople have insisted that an independent adjudicator always checks each show.[68][69][70][71][72]

On 6 April 2016, in an episode in which Labbett was the chaser, a glitch occurred whereby the clock struck 10 seconds and then increased to 11 seconds, giving Labbett an extra second of time. Although the contestants were far ahead and there was no chance of them being caught, a spokesperson for the show told OK! Online the following day: "There was an error on the clock on last night's episode of the Chase. This error happened during the editing process and not in the studio when the show was being recorded so could not have affected the outcome in any way."[73]

Ratings and rivalry with Pointless

During its first two series, the show averaged 1–2 million viewers, but in the third series, ratings rose to over 2 million. By December 2012, The Chase had become ITV's most popular "teatime" programme since The Paul O'Grady Show in 2005, with over 3 million viewers an episode.[74] On 21 January 2013, The Chase managed a peak audience of 5.1 million, a new all-time high.[75] Almost every episode is now in ITV's Top 30 weekly broadcasts.[76]

In its timeslot, The Chase airs at the same time as BBC One's Pointless,[77][78] a game show launched in August 2009, two months after The Chase's debut.[6] The two programmes usually receive similar ratings (for example in September 2012, The Chase had 2.44 million viewers versus 2.27 million for Pointless).[79][80] However, between October 2012 and January 2013, The Chase beat Pointless in the ratings each week. For two weeks in February 2013, Pointless received a higher share than The Chase (3.53 million viewers to 3.41 million, and again 3.58 million viewers to 3.30 million).[81][82]

Merchandise

A board game based on the show was released in 2012 by Ideal.[112] On 12 December 2012, a version for iOS was released by Barnstorm Games. The app features four chasers (excluding Jenny "The Vixen" Ryan, who had not yet appeared on the programme at the time of release) and can be played by up to four people, as in the actual show. The only differences between the app and the show are that four choices are presented for questions in the Cash Builder and the Final Chase rounds and that no Final Chase is played if all players are caught in their individual chases. The app is designed for both iPhones and iPads.[113] An updated version, The Chase: Ultimate Edition, was released in 2017 and features all five chasers and host Walsh.[114]
