Great quiz show... One of the best, if not the best ever. Good idea, good host and good chasers.
Really dislike the low offer goers on the program, especially when it´s a minus offer. Bit of a cop out IMO. When they do that i always secretly hope that the chaser catches them. I always respect the ones that go for the higher offer. It shows courage.
I would go for the middle or the high.
Too bad it has gone to a break...:(
Quite pleased it's gone for a break as it helps keep the show fresh. Having it on 52 weeks a year would not be a good thing. But after today's awful replacement show already looking forward to it coming back!
Hahaha. It was along the lines...... Which has been on the South Bank the longest?
London Aquarium......... London Eye......London Dungeon.
The answer was the London Dungeon which, I thought, was wrong. I still think it was wrong. But I won't lose any sleep over it.
I don't recall seeing "South Bank" mentioned in the question.
For the last two years, it's started when school starts. Knowing that, it'll probably return either 2nd Sept or 9th Sept.
It would have been the case. But, Paul O Grady is back on ITV with a new teatime chat show and it's assumed it'll start when Take on the Twisters has finished.
30 episodes of Twisters will take it up to 30th August, and 5 weeks of Paul O Grady, so that takes it up to 27th September, and The Chase will probably return after that.
I don't think any of it has been confirmed though but that's what's being assumed by users on here and in all fairness, it seems realistic.
Why would ITV give TOTT 30 episodes when they only gave The Chase 10 and Tipping Point 20 for their first series? Are they hoping it's going to be the next best gameshow?
Any chance they'll just put reruns of Chase on until O'Grady?

They must be more confident with this new show.
They'll only put reruns on if its ratings go into freefall.

The London Dungeon was in Tooley St. SE1 for 35+ years until it moved next to the London Eye at Waterloo in 2012 or 2013.
So it may have been in south London for a long time, but strictly speaking it wasn't on the South Bank as we know it, although Tooley St. is not far from the river.
I just took a look at gsntv.com to see what the options were. As well as featuring The Chase, they have a programme called American Bible Challenge! I can just see that being bought up to show over here
Only 1 chaser The Beast !
No Bradley - some lady I believe was in Baywatch doing the hosting (she's rubbish)
Format is nearly the same...........apart from.........
Only 3 members of the public.
The Chaser is on set all the time - he sits there whilst the contestants do the cash builder etc......
They don't seem to have "anglicised" the questions for the beast - he fell down on some really usa type questions - ie baseball etc........
The Chaser has to verbally tell the host what answer he has chosen - this dramatically cuts down on the tension.
The set looks similar...but more of a "cut price" version of the uk one - to be expected as GSN is a small small network with not much money.........they saved all the money for prize money.
I believe they have made 12 episodes and just put in an order for another 12..........
Any questions ask away.
BTW I am in the UK - but I have a slingbox in NYC so I was lucky enough to record it last night and have just watched it.

The chaser has to tell his answer? Ruins it all really, takes all the tension away.
As for the Chaser being there the whole time, I think they could do with that as a slight format change over here, not to mention bringing the Chaser out before the first contestant goes up.

Just to clarify the chaser gives his answer after the contestant has given theirs.........
I assume because there is no "element of surprise" as to which chaser is going to appear (they only have one) that's why Mark is there from the beginning to the end......
Just watching the second episode and the first contestant has took $95000 to the final round !
Another observation........they have tried to include lots of "funny"questions involving boobies (birds), poo poo (pu pu) and ho's (as in ho chi min) - just not funny...........

Sounds like they've tried to recreate the comedy moments from the UK series. They need Bradley.

Four episodes have already been shown. It will be end of August / start of September when it returns after six weeks of the dire "Twisters" rubbish.
Quite pleased it's gone for a break as it helps keep the show fresh. Having it on 52 weeks a year would not be a good thing. But after today's awful replacement show already looking forward to it coming back!

Seems like their confidence was misplaced.
I saw some of it but the questions were far too easy.

Bad quality but it's something.
