Vorlage:Infobox television

The Chase is a British game show broadcast on ITV and hosted by Bradley Walsh in which contestants play against an opponent who plays for the bank, known as "The Chaser".[1][2][3] The Chasers are Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty and Paul Sinha. Labbett and Wallace have both been Chasers since series 1, while Hegerty joined in series 2 and Sinha joined in series 4.

A team of four contestants attempt to amass as much money as possible for a team kitty by answering quick-fire questions in a 60-second round. Each correct answer earns the contestant £1,000. The money earned will go towards the team kitty, but there is one person standing in their way: a quiz genius known as The Chaser. The Chaser's job is to catch each contestant and make sure the players are not able to put the money into the kitty which the team must collectively play for in "The Final Chase".[4]

Format

Cash-builder round

Each player comes up one at a time and is given one minute to answer as many questions as possible with each correct answer worth £1,000.

Personal Chase

After the minute is up, the player's money is placed three steps down on a seven-step money board (eight steps in the first series). The player may remain at this step and play for the money they have won, but if they so wish, they can be placed one step lower down the board for a smaller award, or one step further up the board for a greater award, with each award's value being set by The Chaser. The lower award can occasionally be a negative amount of money.

If the player elects to play for the greater reward, The Chaser is two steps behind them and the player must answer six questions correctly to reach home. If the player elects to remain where they are, The Chaser is three steps behind them and the player must answer five questions correctly to reach home. However, if the player elects to play for the smaller reward, The Chaser is four steps behind them and the player must answer four questions correctly to reach home.

Once the player nominates their starting position, they must answer questions correctly in order to reach the bottom of the board (known as "getting home") and bank their money. Both the player and The Chaser are given the same multiple-choice question with three possible answers, then must secretly press one of the three buttons on their keypad to lock in their answer. When one person locks in their answer, the other is given five seconds to lock in their answer, otherwise, they are locked out and are treated as having given a wrong answer. If the player and/or The Chaser is correct, they move one step down the board, but if wrong or if one fails to lock in before or within five seconds after their opponent, they must remain where they are. The Chaser's job is to catch up to the player and eliminate them from the game by capitalising on the mistakes the player makes before they can reach the bottom of the board. If this happens, the player is out of the game and the cash disappears, but if the player reaches home, their money is put into the team's prize pot which will be contested for in the final round. This is repeated for all four players.

The players who successfully outrun The Chaser proceed to The Final Chase. If all four players are caught by The Chaser, then their prize fund is set to £4,000 (£20,000 in celebrity episodes) and the team must nominate one player to proceed to The Final Chase.

The Final Chase

In the final round, the remaining players answer as many questions as possible in two minutes to amass as many spaces as possible. To start, they are given one space per remaining member of the team. In the case of all 4 players being caught, then the one nominated person will receive a one step head start, as opposed to having no head start at all. To answer a question, the player must press their own buzzer and only he or she can answer it. In the event there's only one player in the Final Chase, that player is not required to press the buzzer. After the two minutes are up, The Chaser is brought in and is told how many spaces the players collected. The Chaser is given a further two minutes of quick-fire questions to attempt to catch the team. If The Chaser gets any question wrong or can't answer it, the clock is stopped and the question is thrown over to the players. If they get the answer correct, The Chaser is pushed back one step and the clock is resumed. From series three onward, if the players answer a Chaser's question correctly whilst the Chaser is on zero steps, an extra step is added to the players' total. If The Chaser succeeds in catching the team, the team loses the prize pot and leave empty-handed, but if the team is not caught by The Chaser before the clock reaches zero, the prize pot is split equally between the remaining team players.

On the celebrity episodes, if the team are caught during The Final Chase, a consolation prize of £1,000 is awarded to each of the remaining celebrities (those who succeeded in their individual chases or, if everybody was caught in their individual chases, the entire team).

Rivalry with Pointless

In its 5:00pm timeslot, The Chase competes with another game show, Pointless, on BBC One, which was launched in August 2009, two months after The Chase's debut. The two shows usually got similar ratings, with The Chase often just edging it - for example in September 2012 it had 2.44m viewers versus 2.27m for Pointless.[10][11][12]

Between October 2012 and January 2013, The Chase did not once lose in the ratings to Pointless until Pointless received 3.53 million viewers while The Chase received 3.41 million and again where Pointless received 3.58 million viewers to The ChasePflichtangabe Text für Zitat im Zitat fehlts 3.30 million viewers for 2 weeks in a row in February 2013.[13][14]

Episode results

*The episode that aired on 21 December 2012 featured Lorraine Kelly, Craig Charles, Jamelia and Dom Joly, who all played for Text Santa.[15] This episode featured all four Chasers. Each celebrity picked out a Christmas bauble from a bag that determined which Chaser they would face. Kelly picked out Mark, Charles picked out Anne, Jamelia picked out Paul and Joly was left with Shaun. For The Final Chase, Walsh asked the remaining celebrities which Chaser they wanted to play against. The celebrities picked Mark who failed to catch the remaining celebrities, which meant that the remaining celebrities won the £11,000 prize money they brought through to the final chase, but as it was played for Text Santa, the £11,000 prize money was doubled up to £22,000.

International versions

Germany

Gefragt — gejagt (Asked - told) is the German version of The Chase. It is presented by Alexander Bommes. Only six episodes have been aired on NDR channel (8 July - 12 August 2012).[19] Unlike other versions, however, there was only one Chaser, the European champion Holger Waldenberger.

Russia

A Russian version of The Chase, «Погоня» (Pursuit), began from 17 November 2012,[20] Alexander Gurevich, the host of Sto k odnomu (the Russian version of Family Feud) since 1995, hosts the show on Russia 1.[21] There are four Chasers that are known as "The Masters": Alexander Ediger, Juriy Hashimov, Olga Uspanova (all three are Jeopardy! (Svoya Igra) players) and Boris Burda (What? Where? When? (Chto? Gde? Kogda?) and Jeopardy! player).

United States

In May 2012, the U.S. TV network Fox ordered two pilots to be recorded in London for consideration in its line-up.[22][23] Walsh was the host for both pilots, while Labbett was The Chaser for one, and Jeopardy! champion Brad Rutter was The Chaser for the other.[24] In April 2013, GSN announced that they had ordered eight episodes.[25] The air date has not yet been confirmed. It was also announced on Twitter that Labbett would be The Chaser for all the shows.[26]

Merchandise

Board game

A board game of the show was released in 2012, available for £19.99.[27]

iOS app

On 12 December 2012, an iOS app of The Chase was released by Barnstorm Games. The app features all 4 Chasers and can be played by up to 4 people, as in the actual show. The only difference between the app and the actual show is that in the cash-builder rounds and The Final Chase after each player has played, you are given four options for the answers. The app costs £1.49 and is designed for both iPhones and iPads.[28]
