It's showing in the listings as been on at 12.30pm from Monday 11th August.

But it doesn't say whether they are new or repeats.

Well anything is better than the hideous Paul O' Grayyyyyydeee

If it's being shown at that time, it's probably just repeats.

New quiz coming in the Chase's timeslot next Monday.

Not sure if it deserves it's own thread so I'm just sticking it here.

The 21st Question

This is utter boring cack, not a patch on The Chase, its got a critical flaw in that the last 15 minutes are the only interesting bit. the presenter is just a pure generic quiz-show host with no personality whatsoever and there's no interesting characters like the Chasers either. And the questions are brain dead easy to cap it off and there's only 21 of them per ep so they spend too much time dragging them out. 0/10 from me, back to Pointless on BBC I go...

lertsnim · 06-08-2014 11:39am

It is a horribly boring show. 21 questions in a one hour show is a question every 3 minutes. Good grief.

Back to Pointless for me too until September.

somesoldiers · 06-08-2014 1:10pm

Stuck about 10 mins of 21 questions-too boring, not enough questions

lertsnim · 07-08-2014 5:19pm

Pointless is repeats (again!!). Might read a book until September

The prize money is crap as well.

Great show this evening. One of the best ever.

That was a classic, I only remember one other Chase with a similar ending.

The one I was thinking of was another one where Paul Sinha had a very poor final against a solo contestant. That was after he had beaten each of them easily in the first round.

Thargor · 04-09-2014 8:39pm

What happened? I didnt know it was back

Thanks for that, when did the Beast storm off though?

Found a good one looking for it on Youtube, he's definitely the best of the Chasers:

Welsh Megaman · 04-09-2014 9:57pm

The Beast was on 'Only Connect' a while back, on a team called 'The Rugby Boys' - remember him getting quite irate when one of his team mates got a question wrong.

Just look at the contestants at the beginning and then watch them closer as the time pushes on and he misses nothing; to the very end.

If Bradley read the questions that fast to the contestants they might have been on a way higher number aswell though...

Harry Angstrom · 20-09-2014 8:01pm

I've just been watching the celebrity edition on ITV and I'm convinced Shaun Wallace deliberately threw it. It ain't exactly the $64,000 Dollar Question to know that Julian Fellowes wrote Downton Abbey :rolleyes:

They often do that on the celebrity chase ,its quite obvious too.

Yeah Ive noticed that aswell, the banter from the contestants sounds very scripted at times but thats not as bad as actually throwing the competition.

Well he's an intelligent man thus prolly doesn't watch that garbage.

lertsnim · 24-09-2014 7:19pm

Today's was quite possibly the longest final chase I have ever seen. Shaun Wallace caught a target of 11 with half a second to spare. So may push backs not taken.

Aubrey loves Joe · 24-09-2014 7:26pm

Love this programme. Bradley is a great host

Thargor · 29-09-2014 11:15pm

UTV showing The Chase @ 23:10 at night? Im watching it anyway!

I'm watching too

I've always wondered what would happen in the Chaser caught all the contestants, so interesting that the Beast brought it up

It has happened once or twice.

IIRC, the team nominate one person to answer questions in two minutes and play for just £1000. As with the normal final chase, the team can confer if the Chaser gives a wrong answer and can 'push him back' one space.

I'll give that a watch. The Americans did the sensible thing by recruiting Mark Labbett (The Beast) as the only Chaser for their version.

dublinman1990 · 01-10-2014 11:22pm

I've seen a few episodes of the chase myself in my spare time and it is a great show to watch for the entertainment and for Bradley Walsh.

The show glues you into the questions and the final chase near the end.

Although I have seen a few contestants answer certain questions wrong up until very recently. A question which was so simple was asked about one of the batman villains concerning the real name of the Joker. A very easy one not to slip up on. The person who answered it had said Harvey Dent even though the correct answer was actually Jack Napier.

Questions of that nature surprisingly fail very easily on that show but it is a very good recommendation to watch for your teatime TV.

I'm sorry but to the many, many of us who aren't batman fans that's the opposite of an easy question.

Hyzepher · 02-10-2014 11:11am

I'd love them to introduce a feature where contestants can forfeit some of their banked cask to increase the amount of squares they start with. i.e. 3 contestants left = 3 squares to start, they have £25,000 and decide to spend £10,000 on two extra squares (£5,00 ea)

Welsh Megaman · 11-10-2014 6:38pm

Louis Walsh on The Chase: Celebrity Special!

This won't take long

MJ23 · 12-10-2014 11:44am

A good show, I like it. If Danny Baldwin didn't say "Corrrrect" after every answer he'd get at least 3 more questions in in the minute.

Just started on Challenge

somesoldiers · 15-10-2014 9:40am

Watched a great episode on 3e on Sat- first two went for big offer and were caught, next lad got 7K, next lady got 11K. They built up 29 for the final Chase ( mostly down to the lady who was brilliant) and the beast was one short of catching them- riveting stuff

lertsnim · 15-10-2014 1:10pm

29!!! Is that a record?

somesoldiers · 15-10-2014 1:26pm

dunno can't seem to find a list of highest evers. Brad said it was at the time but that ep may have been a few years old. Actuallly it may have been 28 but still wow

http://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/The_Chase has some good stats on records acheived on The Chase, although I'm not sure if its completely up to date (it says the most steps reached by a chaser is 27)

somesoldiers · 15-10-2014 4:09pm

cool, yeah it says :the most steps set was 28 June 17 2010, when beast got 27, that was the one I was watching. it happened again in Mar 2012 and sinna man also got 27

I agree. It was one of the best episodes ever.

GalwayGirl26 · 15-10-2014 4:32pm

Does anyone else have The Chase app? It's alright, but the questions are (at least from what I can see) a lot more difficult.

somesoldiers · 15-10-2014 4:43pm

yes I have it, have only played a few times, my highest was 6 or 7 in the first round, the next was very hard. I never won when choosing the top offer, so tended to stick to the middle and got that, but haven't had success on the final chase....yet
