The Chase is a British quiz show broadcastby ITV andhostedby Bradley Walsh . The German program asked - hunted is an adaptation of the format.

Here the candidates compete against professional quizers, called chasers , called hunters in the German edition. The current six chasers are Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan and Darragh Ennis.

A team of four candidates initially tries to earn as much money as possible individually. They try to defend this in a single duel against a chaser. Each candidate can choose whether he wants to defend the amount won, a higher or a lower amount. In the final round, the team must jointly defend the amount against the hunter.

The average audience for The Chase is between 3 and 5 million. This makes it the most successful daily show to date. She has been nominated six times for the National Television Awards . In 2016, 2017 and 2019 she won the award. Offshoots of the program were or are now being broadcast in Australia, China, Croatia, Finland, the USA, Germany, Israel, Norway, Russia, Serbia, Turkey and Spain.

Game flow

Cash builders and head-to-head rounds

Each participant first competes individually and tries to collect money in two rounds. In the first round, referred to in the German edition as the quick guess round, the participant answers as many questions as possible within a minute, with each correct answer worth 1000 GBP. Then the hunter enters the stage and makes three offers to the candidate. The candidate chooses one of these:

  • The first offer corresponds to the profit from the Cash Builder round and the candidate has a lead of three questions.
  • In the case of the second offer, the candidate receives a lead of four questions. For this, the amount from the cash builder round is reduced. The amount is partly negative.
  • With the third offer, the candidate only gets a lead of two questions. However, its possible profit is increased.

Once the starting position is selected, the moderator asks the participant and the chaser a series of multiple choice questions. Here you choose the correct answer from three options using the keyboard at the same time. After one person has chosen the answer, the other has a maximum of five seconds. With a correct answer, the person who gave it moves a step down, while an incorrect or late answer leaves him at the level where they were before the question.

If the participant arrives successfully, i.e. without being caught, he can take part in the final chase and his money will be credited to the team jackpot (in the case of a negative amount then deducted accordingly). Should the candidate be caught, he will be eliminated and his amount will be forfeited. If all four entrants are eliminated, they will choose one to play for the minimum amount of £ 1000 alone.

Final chase

The candidates choose one of two sets of questions. The other is played by the hunter. You are now trying to answer as many questions as possible correctly within two minutes. If more than one candidate is playing, the players must operate the buzzer before answering. For each player who has reached the final, the candidates receive one point as a lead.

The hunter then has two minutes to answer questions from the unused sentence and to catch up with the team. If the chaser fails to answer a question or answers incorrectly, the clock is stopped. The team can then answer the question and reset the hunter for one answer. If the candidates are not caught, the profit will be divided equally among the finalists.

For celebrity issues, each celebrity who loses a final will receive £ 1000 for their supported project.

Production process

Three episodes are shot in one day. An episode is produced in about 90 minutes. In the final chase, if Walsh gets confused with a question, the question and answer session can be stopped and then restarted. At Radio Times , Walsh said that even slight misinterpretations by lawyers would be stopped. You use the recording to determine when to restart.

Critic reactions

Bradley Walsh, host of the show

The Chase is now popular with critics and viewers. The ratings of the show were even more critical at first, but later they rose steadily. Some critics and the chasers themselves attribute the success to the presenter Bradley Walsh. Labbett said that the sense of humor and the diversity of the chasers is an important factor for success.

Controversy

The Chase has been the center of controversy on several occasions. Viewers have complained that Walsh reads the questions in the final more slowly with the candidates than with the hunters. In an interview with Radio Times , he denied these claims.

Viewership and competition with pointless

During the first two seasons, the show was seen by an average of 1-2 million viewers. In the third season there were already over 2 million. In December 2012, The Chase was the most popular tea time show since The Paul O'Grady Show in 2005, with over 3 million viewers . On January 21, 2013, it reached its all-time high of 5.1 million. Since then, almost every episode has been in the top 30 weekly ITV shows.

At the same time as The Chase airs on BBC One Pointless , a game show that started in August 2009, two months after The Chase . The two shows usually have similar audience numbers.
