For the first round, each team member (in turn) builds up cash by answering quick fire trivia questions on a one minute clock. For each correct answer, the player earns £1000. Then they must take it to the table, where they encounter The Chaser for the first time. Starting three steps ahead of the chaser, they can take a free step home for a reduction in the prize money, or challenge the chaser by taking a step towards him for an improved prize.
Then both Chaser and Contestant answer multiple choice trivia questions. If either player gets it right, they move a step down the table. The contestant is attempting to get home to safety, the Chaser trying to reach the contestant. If the Chaser reaches the contestant, they - and the money - are out of the game. If they make it home, it goes into the prize fund.
In the final round, any team members that have survived their individual chases take part in the Final Chase. On the buzzer, and against a two minute clock, the team must set as a high mark as they can (gaining an extra step for each member of the team that survived). After they set the mark, the Chaser has the same two minutes to catch the team. If they get a question wrong, the team have a chance to move them back a space by answering it correctly themselves. If the team are caught, they leave with nothing. Otherwise, the surviving team members split the entire prize.
The Chasers are Mark Labbett, Anne Hegerty, Shaun Wallace, and Paul Sinha.

British GameShow hosted by Bradley Walsh. A team of four players, never having met before, have the chance to take home thousands of pounds. There's only one thing standing in their way. [[BigBad The Chaser]]. [[CatchPhrase The Chase is on]].
For the first round, each team member (in turn) builds up cash by answering quick fire trivia questions on a one minute clock. For each correct answer, the player earns £1000. Then they must take it to the table, where they encounter The Chaser for the first time. Starting three steps ahead of the chaser, they can take a free step home for a reduction in the prize money, or challenge the chaser by taking a step towards him for an improved prize.
Then both Chaser and Contestant answer multiple choice trivia questions. If either player gets it right, they move a step down the table. The contestant is attempting to get home to safety, the Chaser trying to reach the contestant. If the Chaser reaches the contestant, they - and the money - are out of the game. If they make it home, it goes into the prize fund.
In the final round, any team members that have survived their individual chases take part in the Final Chase. On the buzzer, and against a two minute clock, the team must set as a high mark as they can (gaining an extra step for each member of the team that survived). After they set the mark, the Chaser has the same two minutes to catch the team. If they get a question wrong, the team have a chance to move them back a space by answering it correctly themselves. If the team are caught, they leave with nothing. Otherwise, the surviving team members split the entire prize.
The Chasers are Mark Labbett, Anne Hegerty, Shaun Wallace, and Paul Sinha.
An American pilot has been shot, with Mark Labbett and Brad Rutter. Yes. The one from ''{{Jeopardy}}''.

!!The trope is on...
* AllOrNothing:: Escape the final chase, and win the cash. Otherwise, it's another victory for the Chaser.
* TheCastShowOff: All of the chasers like to show off their trivia knowledge. Mark even more than the others.
* CatchPhrase: Bradley has a few:
--> "[[TitleDrop The Chase]] is on."
--> "I'm sorry [contestant], you have been caught and for you, the Chase is over."
* CelebrityEdition: Every so often.
* CouchGag: Bradley's initial introduction of the four chasers before the initial appearance of the chaser of the day.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The Final Chase music. Possibly the most intense music ever featured on a game show. The final 30 seconds can induce a panic like no other.
* [[FiveManBand Four-Chaser Band]]/InSeriesNickname: The Chasers.

* LargeHam: Mark again. More visually than audibly, he looks visibly pained if he misses an answer he thinks he should have known.
* LosingHorns: Inverted. If the horn sounds on the final chase, it's a win for the team.
* SpeedRound: The whole show, essentially.
** Each contestant starts with the Cashbuilder Round which lasts for one minute.
** The Individual Chase round has 5 second time limits for each question, the countdown starting when either the contestant or the Chaser answers first.
** The Final Chase is a two-minute round of rapid fire questions, first for the contestants, and then for the presiding Chaser.
* StudioAudience: In the Celebrity versions only. A laugh track is added to normal shows.
* {{Whammy}}: The Chaser's low offer can theoretically be anything below what the player won in the previous round, including negative figures. (This also means that if the player won nothing, this would definitely be one of the options) This is an unusual iteration of this trope, as the player can refuse it.
