Contestants play against a professional quizzer, known as the "Chaser", who attempts to prevent them from winning a cash prize. {{As of|2026}}, there are six chasers: Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan, and Darragh Ennis.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bullimore |first=Emma |title=Who are The Chasers on The Chase? From The Governess to The Beast {{!}} Radio Times |url=https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertainment/the-chase-who-chasers/ |access-date=2026-02-27 |website=www.radiotimes.com |language=en-GB}}</ref> It shares similarities with the Australian quiz show The Master (Australian game show) that first aired briefly in 2006. Labbett and Wallace have both been chasers since series 1 while Hegerty joined in series 2, Sinha in series 4, Ryan in series 9, and Ennis in series 13. With exceptions for special episodes (for example Christmas specials and anniversary episodes), only one chaser participates in a single episode.

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 chase. The chaser must attempt to catch each contestant during their chase, eliminating that person from the game and preventing the money from being added to the collective prize fund. In the individual chase, the player must choose between a higher offer (closer to the chaser), their earned money and a lower offer (further away from the chaser). Later, in the final round, contestants who survived their chases play collectively as a team against the chaser for an equal share of the prize fund.

With a regular audience of three to five million, ''The Chase'' is one of the most successful and longest running game shows on UK television and one of ITV's most successful daytime shows ever.<ref name="Pointless rivalry">{{cite news|url=https://metro.co.uk/2016/01/21/the-chase-stars-mark-labbett-and-anne-hegerty-discuss-their-ntas-win-twitter-reactions-and-pointless-rivalry-5636444/|title=The Chase's Mark Labbett and Anne Hegerty talk NTA wins and Pointless rivalry|last=Lindsay|first=Duncan|date=21 January 2016|work=Metro|access-date=25 January 2016}}</ref> The show has been nominated seven times at the National Television Awards, winning in 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2024.

Additionally, ''The Chase'' has become a successful international franchise with many international versions. Among its most popular international adaptions are the Australian version, by Seven Network, and the American version, by GSN and ABC. Labbett and Hegerty feature as chasers on the Australian version (with Wallace appearing as a "Guest Chaser" in 2018). Labbett featured as the sole chaser on the 2013-2015 American version and joined the 2021 American version for its second season, leaving again in 2022.

==Gameplay== ===Cash Builder and Head-to-Head rounds=== thumb|Screenshot from the ITV version illustrating how a head-to-head chase appears on-screen. The contestant has selected the £9000 (middle) offer and must give five correct answers without being caught in order to bank the money. At this point, the contestant and Chaser have both given one correct answer, with the latter represented by the red arrow. Each contestant individually attempts to accumulate money for the team's prize fund through two rounds. In the first round, known as the "Cash Builder", the contestant answers as many questions as they can within one minute. Each correct answer awards £1000. There is no penalty for incorrect answers or passes. After completing the Cash Builder, the contestant enters the "Head-to-Head" round, attempting to move the money down to the bottom of a seven-step board and into the team's prize fund ("home") without being caught by the Chaser. <ref>{{cite web |title=The Chase |url=http://www.itvmedia.co.uk/the-chase |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120708073555/http://www.itvmedia.co.uk/the-chase |archive-date=8 July 2012 |access-date=24 July 2014 |publisher=ITV}}</ref>.

The contestant is given three options by the Chaser at the start of the Head-to-Head round: play for the money earned in the Cash Builder and start three steps down the board (requiring five correct answers to reach home), accept a higher offer and start two steps down, or accept a lower offer and start four steps down. The lower offer can be zero or even a negative amount if the team has already banked some money. Once the starting position is selected, the host asks a series of multiple-choice questions to the contestant and the Chaser, both of whom individually select one of the three answer options on keypads. After either person locks in a guess, the other must do so within five seconds or else be frozen out for that turn. A correct answer moves the person who gave it one step down the board, while a miss or freeze-out leaves them where they are.

If the contestant reaches the bottom of the board while still ahead of the Chaser, they advance to the Final Chase and their money is added to the team's prize fund (or deducted, if they took a negative amount). If the Chaser overtakes the contestant, they are eliminated from the game and the money is forfeited. If all four contestants are caught by the Chaser, they nominate one contestant to play the Final Chase alone.

Contestants who are blind or visually impaired, or who are deaf or hearing impaired, are allowed to have a helper present who can assist in conveying information to them as needed. The helper may not suggest answers or take any other active role in the game. Contestants who are unable to stand for an extended period may use a chair as needed during the game.

===The Final Chase=== The contestants who have won their head-to-head chases blindly select one of two question sets for themselves, with the other set put aside for the Chaser, and then have two minutes to answer as many questions as possible on the buzzer. Any answer given by a contestant who has not buzzed-in is automatically ruled wrong; if only one contestant is participating in this round, the buzzer is not used. Every correct answer moves the team one step ahead of the Chaser, and they are given a head start of one step per contestant participating in this round. The contestants may not discuss or confer on any questions during this portion of the round and may pass as often as desired. There is no time limit on individual questions; the host will only ask a new question after someone has either answered or passed on the current one. <ref name=":2" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-07-07 |title=The Chase viewers left outraged after 'incorrect' answer steals victory |url=https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/tv/news/the-chase-itv-bradley-walsh-answer-b2783235.html |access-date=2025-07-08 |website=The Independent |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Molyneux |first=Jess |date=2025-07-05 |title=Alice Beer says 'taxi for The Beast please' on ITV's The Chase |url=https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/itv-celebrity-chases-alice-beer-32001887 |access-date=2025-07-08 |website=Liverpool Echo |language=en}}</ref>.

The Chaser is then given two minutes to answer questions from the unused set in an attempt to catch the team, moving one step forward per correct answer. If the Chaser passes or misses a question, the clock stops and the team is given a chance to discuss it and respond; a correct answer pushes the Chaser back one step or (from series 3 onwards) moves the team ahead one step if the Chaser is at the starting line. If the Chaser catches the team before the time expires, the prize fund is forfeited and the contestants receive nothing. <ref>{{Cite web |last1=Fisher |first1=Charlotte |last2=Eales |first2=Courtney |date=2025-06-23 |title=The Chase general knowledge quiz: see how you would fare on the ITV show |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news/chase-general-knowledge-quiz-see-31910612 |access-date=2025-07-08 |website=Manchester Evening News |language=en}}</ref>. During celebrity editions, a consolation £1000 is donated to each celebrity's chosen charity in this case. If the Chaser is unable to catch up to the team, the participating contestants split the prize fund equally. If all four contestants are caught in their head-to-head chases and the one they nominate wins the Final Chase, each contestant wins £1000 (£2000 in celebrity specials).

== Production == thumb|Bradley Walsh, presenter of the show|229x229px Three episodes are filmed in a day, each one taking around an hour and a half to film. According to Walsh, "It runs like clockwork." The Final Chase can be stopped and re-started if Walsh stumbles on a question. He told the ''Radio Times'', "If there is a slight misread, I am stopped immediately – bang – by the lawyers. We have the compliance lawyers in the studio all the time. What you have to do is go back to the start of the question, literally on videotape where my mouth opens – or where it's closed from the previous question – and the question is re-asked. It is stopped to the split second."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/news/2018-11-22/secrets-of-the-chase/|title=Secrets of The Chase|last=Daly|first=Emma|date=22 November 2018|website=Radio Times|access-date=11 December 2018}}</ref>

Between March 2020 and late June 2020, production of the series was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the series was already on a previously scheduled production hiatus at the time of the suspension. In an interview with ''The Sun''{{'}}s ''TV Mag'', Walsh said that the show was "at least 100 episodes behind schedule" due to lockdown; during the production hiatus, repeats were shown in the programme's regular timeslot.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a32276474/the-chase-coronavirus-bradley-walsh/|title=Bradley Walsh explains how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting The Chase's schedule|last=Seddon|first=Dan|date=25 April 2020|website=Digital Spy|access-date=2 July 2020}}</ref>

==Spin-offs== ===''The Chase: Celebrity Special''=== {{Unreferenced section|date=September 2025}} A spin-off series 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 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 £8,000 (originally £20,000). 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.

For celebrity specials airing at Christmas, the Chasers frequently appear in costumes adhering to a common theme, such as Panto villains, subjects of famous paintings, or characters typically associated with Christmas.

===''The Family Chase''=== In February 2017, ITV commissioned ''The Family Chase'', a spin-off featuring a team of four family members.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/news/a821231/the-chase-family-series-itv-saturday/|title=''The Chase'' is coming back to ITV with a family twist|work=Digital Spy|date=14 February 2017|first=Jennifer|last=Read-Dominguez}}</ref> The six-episode spin-off debuted on 2 September 2017.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Lindsay|first1=Duncan|date=1 September 2017|title=Bradley Walsh reveals all on new series ''The Family Chase'' and the secrets of The Chasers|url=https://metro.co.uk/2017/09/01/bradley-walsh-reveals-all-on-new-series-the-family-chase-and-the-secrets-of-the-chasers-6886794/amp|website=Metro|access-date=1 September 2017}}</ref> Series 2 was commissioned by ITV.

==Reception==

===Critical reception=== ''The Chase'' is highly popular with critics and viewers. Despite early criticism,<ref name=":2">{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2010/jun/28/the-chase-gameshow-itv|title=The Chase: how to make the perfect daytime gameshow|last=Heritage|first=Stuart|date=28 June 2010|work=The Guardian|access-date=7 April 2016}}</ref> opinion has improved over time. Some critics, as well as the chasers,<ref name="Pointless rivalry"/> put the show's success down to Walsh as host and his many memorable moments, some of which come from questions or answers which often leave him in fits of highly contagious hysterics. Labbett also said that the sense of fun and the variety of chasers is a major factor.<ref name="Pointless rivalry"/> 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."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://metro.co.uk/2015/07/27/exclusive-the-chase-star-paul-sinha-reveals-backstage-secrets-funniest-show-moments-and-which-chaser-hed-snog-5313255/|title=The Chase's Paul Sinha reveals backstage secrets and funniest show moments|last=Lindsay|first=Duncan|date=27 July 2015|work=Metro|access-date=7 April 2016}}</ref>

In October 2011, a clip of Walsh laughing uncontrollably at the name of German skiier Fanny Chmelar went viral.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Halliday |first1=Josh |title=Viral Video Chart: Siri love song, Nicki Minaj and Bradley Walsh v 'Fanny' |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/pda/2011/oct/21/viral-video-chart-nicky-minaj |access-date=15 September 2025 |work=The Guardian |date=21 October 2011}}</ref> By July 2013, the clip had been viewed 6 million times.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Mackenzie |first1=Steven |title=Bradley Walsh: "I want to apologise to Fanny Chmelar" |url=https://www.bigissue.com/culture/bradley-walsh-i-want-apologise-fanny-chmelar/ |access-date=15 September 2025 |work=The Big Issue |date=18 July 2013}}</ref> According to Sinha, this clip helped double the show's audience and make it the highest-rated daytime programme.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Kilgallon |first1=Steve |title=The Chase's Paul Sinha: famous in small towns |url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv-radio/100077898/the-chases-paul-sinha-famous-in-small-towns |access-date=15 September 2025 |work=Stuff |date=8 January 2018}}</ref> In January 2024, Walsh met Chmelar on ''Michael McIntyre's Big Show'' and apologised for laughing at her name.<ref>{{cite news |title=Bradley Walsh was left mortified after Fanny Chmelar surprises him in bed |url=https://www.thecoast.net.nz/news/bradley-walsh-was-left-mortified-after-fanny-chmelar-surprises-him-in-bed/ |access-date=15 September 2025 |work=The Coast |date=22 January 2024}}</ref>

The British series was viewed by an average audience of 313,800 in New Zealand in 2021. According to Massey University honorary research fellow Brian McDonnell, New Zealanders watch the show for Walsh and to support the underdog contestants, despite some questions being centered on British culture.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Jack |first1=Amberleigh |title=Why are New Zealanders obsessed with The Chase? |url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv-radio/128690914/why-are-new-zealanders-obsessed-with-the-chase |access-date=17 October 2025 |work=Stuff |date=18 July 2022}}</ref>

===Controversies=== ''The Chase'' has also been criticised on several occasions, such as the Final Chase, when it is alleged that Walsh asks the chasers' questions more quickly than those of the contestants.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/the-chase-fix-viewers-slam-7524494|title='The Chase is a FIX': Viewers slam ITV quiz show for 'easy' questions for The Governess|last=Greenwood|first=Carl|date=9 March 2016|work=Daily Mirror|access-date=7 April 2016}}</ref> In an interview with the ''Radio Times'', Walsh repudiated those claims: "We have lawyers on the floor to watch all of this. I read [the questions] at 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."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2016-04-27/bradley-walsh-rubbishes-the-chase-fix-claims|title=Is The Chase fixed?

There have also been a number of games where the chaser has won with an answer right on the final buzzer, which some viewers have perceived to be out of time;<ref>{{cite news|url=https://metro.co.uk/2015/06/27/angry-viewers-of-the-chase-blast-recent-episode-as-a-fix-but-what-do-you-think-5268479/|title=Angry viewers of The Chase blast recent episode as a 'fix'–but what do you think?|last=Lindsay|first=Duncan|date=27 June 2015|work=Metro|access-date=7 April 2016}} - {{cite web|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/chase-fans-cry-fix-after-12620314|title=The Chase fans cry 'fix' after contestant loses £50k when clock 'glitches'|first=Vicki|last=Newman|date=30 May 2018|website=Daily Mirror}}</ref> spokespeople have asserted that an independent adjudicator – a representative from Beyond Dispute Ltd<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.beyonddispute.co.uk/|title=beyonddispute|website=Beyond Dispute|access-date=26 July 2019}} - {{cite news|url=https://metro.co.uk/2016/03/09/heres-why-that-episode-of-the-chase-was-not-fixed-with-help-from-the-governess-herself-5741728/|title=Why THAT episode of The Chase was not fixed – with help from The Governess!|last=Lindsay|first=Duncan|date=9 March 2016|website=Metro|access-date=26 July 2019}}</ref> – always checks each show and makes the final call on whether answers were in or out of time.<ref>{{cite tweet|number=326379442136047616|title=The Sinnerman began his answer before the buzzer went, which is the same rules for contestants.

On 6 April 2016, on an episode where Labbett was the chaser, a glitch occurred whereby the clock froze at 10{{nbsp}}seconds and then increased to 11{{nbsp}}seconds, giving Labbett an extra second. Although the contestants were far ahead and there was no chance of them being caught (and would win a £27,000 pot), a spokesperson for the show told ''OK!'' Online the following day that an error occurred during the editing process, but gameplay was otherwise not affected by it.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/the-chase-accused-of-favouring-the-chaser-after-clock-appeared-to-pause-during-final-27000-round-a6973141.html|title=The Chase accused of 'favouring the Chaser' after clock appeared to pause during final £27,000 round|last=Ramgobin|first=Ryan|date=7 April 2016|work=The Independent|publisher=Independent Print Limited|access-date=8 April 2016}}</ref>

On 4 March 2019, an episode was broadcast where Walsh asked a question about which band had the fewest members, with the possible answers being the Proclaimers, the Pretenders or the Prodigy. Many viewers criticised ITV for deciding to air the episode hours after it was announced that Prodigy frontman Keith Flint had died by suicide.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/keith-flint-dead-the-chase-question-prodigy-singer-firestarter-a8807861.html|title=Keith Flint: The Chase criticised for 'ill-timed' question about The Prodigy|last=O'Connor|first=Roisin|date=5 March 2019|work=The Independent|publisher=Independent Publishers Limited|access-date=24 March 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nme.com/news/viewers-criticise-insensitive-question-chase-prodigy-keith-flint-death-2457523|title=Viewers criticise insensitive 'The Chase' question aired hours after death of The Prodigy's Keith Flint|last=Lavin|first=Will|date=5 March 2019|work=NME|publisher=TI Media|access-date=24 March 2019}}</ref>

On 26 January 2022, Labbett lost the final chase and, after briefly congratulating the winners, stormed off the set punching the wall on his way out. This left Walsh to apologise to the audience, though in a rather sarcastic tone, stating "I apologise to all the kids watching, that's not how you should take defeat." Labbett subsequently apologised for his behaviour via Twitter, as well as revealing that his mental health at the time of recording the particular episode was not very good, consequently affecting his behaviour. His fans online supported him through this, one of which was fellow Chaser, Paul Sinha. Sinha commented, "You should never have to apologise for the crime of “being human”. I’d have been nowhere on those questions."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/chases-the-beast-mark-labbett-26066029 |title=The Chase's 'The Beast' Mark Labbett storms off set and punches wall over defeat |last=Everett |first=Charlotte |date=27 January 2022 |work=Daily Mirror |access-date=6 January 2023 }}</ref>

===Ratings=== During its first two series, the show averaged 1–2 million viewers, then more than 2{{nbsp}}million during series three. By December 2012, ''The Chase'' had become ITV's most popular "teatime" programme since ''The Paul O'Grady Show'' in 2005, with more than 3{{nbsp}}million viewers an episode.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a443991/the-chase-now-itvs-biggest-teatime-hit-since-paul-ogrady.html|title='The Chase' now ITV's biggest teatime hit since Paul O'Grady|date=9 December 2012|first=Paul|last=Millar|work=Digital Spy|access-date=9 December 2012}}</ref> In January 2021, ''The Chase'' managed a peak audience of more than 5 million, an all-time high.<ref>{{cite news|url= https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a35130658/the-chase-breaks-ratings-record-jan-2020 |title= The Chase breaks another ratings record |last=Alexander|first=Susannah|work=Digital Spy|date=5 January 2021|access-date=6 January 2021}}</ref> Almost every episode is now seen by between 4 and 5 million viewers, and regularly features on ITV's Top 15 weekly broadcasts.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.barb.co.uk/viewing-data/four-screen-dashboard|title= Weekly top programmes on four screens (from Sept 2018) |publisher=BARB|access-date=6 January 2020}}</ref>

=== Video game adaptation === On 12 December 2012, a version for iOS was released by Barnstorm Games. The app features four chasers (excluding Jenny "The Vixen" Ryan and Darragh "The Menace" Ennis, both of whom 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 four players are caught in their head-to-head chases. The app is designed for both iPhones and iPads.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id579071581?mt=8|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130727141826/https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id579071581?mt=8|url-status=dead|archive-date=27 July 2013|title=The Chase|author=NOMISIAN LTD|date=12 December 2012|work=App Store}}</ref> An updated version, ''The Chase: Ultimate Edition'', was released in 2017 and features five chasers (excluding Ennis) and host Walsh.
