\"cash_trapped_01\"<\/a>Weekdays, 5pm,
\n<\/strong>ITV<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s The Chase<\/strong> Summer Replacement time, this year ITV have come at it with a slightly different strategy opening with a show with the same host but with a different format in a clever bid to not haemorrhage\u00a0viewers – and being supported by Tipping Point<\/strong>\u00a0for the entire fortnight as well no less. There’s two weeks of this before Alphabetical<\/strong> with Jeff Stelling gets a two week run and somewhere there’s 20 episodes of Rebound<\/strong> to go out.<\/p>\n

This show’s big gimmick is not quite entirely original but certainly different enough – six people compete in a quiz to accrue a large sum of money, the winning player then has to try and defeat the five losers in a quickfire quiz – win and they leave with their money (and everybody else leaves with nothing), lose and their bank is wiped out and everybody comes back to play the next day – the losing five having banks that rollover. This comment suggests a mediumfire quiz with a large vindictive element<\/a>\u00a0– quick precis: questions on the buzzer, right answer wins cash and knocks someone out, last one standing gets a question for a large bonus, repeat until quickfire final followed by The Final Chase.<\/p>\n

Based on one of Bradley’s own ideas and produced by Bother’s Bar favourites Possessed, it will be interesting to see if works well in terms of individual episodes or whether it takes a few rollover games to really get going and if it does is that too long? The Question Jury<\/strong><\/a> has beaten it to the punch somewhat in this regard and to me that game isn’t strong enough to tune into day after day. This has got two weeks to prove itself – it’s doubtful it will increase on The Chase<\/em> but if it can hang on to 1.5m+ by next Friday then it’s done comparatively well.<\/p>\n
