Audition for The Chase

The Chase, ITVMy quest to have a go at every single British quiz show that pays a cash prize has taken another step forward with the news that I’ve got an audition at the end of this month for The Chase.

The show is on ITV 1, is presented by Bradley Walsh and is a variation on the Eggheads theme of beating champion quizzers at their own game, except this time there is only one ‘brain’ instead of five.

Here’s the ending of the first show form last year’s pilot series: The Chaser in this clip is Mark Labbett who once won £32,000 on Millioniare and plainly knows his shit. This is what stands in the way.

So, the quizzing looks pretty hard but it might be one of these things where you can take a good guess at the question setters’ preferences. On Eggheads I would have done well to study at US state capitals, and in this case it might be clever to look at Kings of England.

    Dear Dr Paul,
    I too have an audition for The Chase in March, and wonder if you have any further video footage of series 1 that I could borrow/buy from you please ?

    Hi Patrick – There is one other clip at youtube which is a very very very very close finish indeed:

    This clip is also just of the end game. I’d like to see the first few rounds so if anyone has a link to that, let us know.

    Good luck with your audition – where is it being held?
