Beat The Chasers

[grumpy01]

Bit of a coincidence the last contestant of the week wins £100,000.

Standard TV scheduling practice. Same reason that the Bullseye contestants always used to win the car in the week running up to Xmas.

[Hopkirk]

I know from experience that shows are not always broadcast in the sequence they were recorded.

[THECORBYLOON]

Really? If the contestant had taken one second longer in one of her answers, she would have lost.

[Mamyalynne]

An excellent win.

[THECORBYLOON]

Bradley said it was the last of the week at the end of the show.

[Cloverjo]

Good editing.

Fun show. I like it. Not too much chat, extrovert contestants, rapid turnover. I don’t believe all the “supposed” asides between the Chasers, though.

[Georgiesmum]

Pity you had to announce the result. I recrded it and was going to watch it tomorrow.
I didnt see it because I was watching Gogglebox on the other side tonight.

[brainiac]

So why did you click on the thread?

[Georgiesmum]

I was expecting them to say whether it was a good episode tonight, or not, and what they thought of the various contestants., not the final result.

[douglas9401]

Weird crew though, the Chasers.

Hope they don't pass the tipping point and morph into eggheads though.

[Georgiesmum]

grumpy01 forgot to put up a spoiler alert warning, simple as that.
never mind.

[grumpy01]

Why a spoiler when the programme has aired?

[douglas9401]

On re-reading, one too many 'though' in there.

[Ken4155]

Down the years, I have noticed that whenever a quiz show returns to our screens for a new 'run', the contestant(s) would almost always win big in episode one. Obviously done to whet the viewers appetite for episode two.

[Barsel]

I find it hard to believe they recognise previous quizzers from so many years ago and I don't believe the Sinnerman made that rap up just there and then. I've been recording it and just whizzing through to where they ask the questions.

[elliemay1]

I agree Barsel.

[DarceyK123]

Of course they dont remember people, the researchers tell them beforehand.

[gollob]

Very odd programming.On Thursday while interviewing contestant number one a lady was in the background in a pink jumper.

[gollob]

she was there for contestants two and three then for contestant four she was gone and a middle aged man around forty then for the next one , an older gentleman with glasses then finally nobody. A very clever cutting prog. with many of the chasers knowing the contestants.
A lot easier to win on the evening show than the afternoon show
