Beat the Chasers

Taking the huge success of The Chase, ITV are launching a bit of 'Event television' next week with a 5-night run of Beat The Chasers. Full details can be seen below, but be sure to tune in on Monday 27th April from 9pm to find out what this exciting new show is all about!

The below is taken directly from the ITV.com press release - 

Beat The Chasers is a brand new prime time spin on ITV’s smash-hit quiz show The Chase, challenging contestants to take on two, three, four or all five Chasers at once. 

Hosted by Bradley Walsh, this nail-biting 5-part series will be stripped across a week, starring all five of the nation's favourite quiz geniuses: Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett, Anne ‘The Governess’ Hegerty, Paul ‘The Sinnerman’ Sinha, Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan and Shaun ‘The Dark Destroyer’ Wallace. 

Bradley will call contestants down from the studio audience to compete. In the Cash Builder they’ll face five multiple choice questions, with the chance to bank up to £5,000. But get the first question wrong - they’re out! 

Next, contestants are given the option of playing between two and all five Chasers for increasing amounts of money, but with a decreasing time advantage against them. As the money goes up, so does the number of Chasers they must face. But those brave enough to take on all five Chasers could walk away with a huge cash prize. 

Play sees questions swap from contestant to the Chasers. But get a question wrong and their individual or team clock keeps counting down until a question is answered correctly. First to run out of time loses the game. 

With the Chasers forming the greatest quiz team on the planet, it remains to be seen - can anyone Beat The Chasers?
 

Beat The Chasers will broadcast 9pm, Monday 27th April to Friday 1 May over five consecutive nights.
