28 - The Chase

Next up in my top 30 game shows is The Chase.  This is perhaps the newest show in my top 30 as the others are each of an age.  The show is rather simple, you answer questions with 3 possible answers.  Your place on the board advances with every correct answer and stays put with every wrong answer - the trouble is you play against a chaser, a person working for the show a champion of sorts whose job it is to catch you, for every correct answer they get they move one step closer to you but for every wrong answer they stay put.  If the chaser catches you then you are out and lose the game.

This show is perhaps one of the hardest to win, so far of the 229 regular episodes only 56 resulted in the contestants winning, the remainder resulted in the Chaser winning.

One of the endearing aspects of the show is the current host Bradley Walsh who is most entertaining for his banter and the many times that he loses it to fits of giggles over the questions.
