The Chase lawyers step in after host Bradley Walsh makes huge mistake
The Chase sees contestants pit their wits against some of Britain's biggest brains in a bid to take home the prize money - but things don't always go to plan. Aside from the odd fit of laughter from host Bradley Walsh, the critically-acclaimed ITV show follows a routine format and things usually run smoothly.
However, as reported by The Mirror, there have been occasions where things have gone horribly wrong. It come to light that Bradley doesn't actually get to see the questions any sooner than the contestants do, meaning they've not been rehearsed. This can sometimes lead to mistakes, which is where lawyers can intervene. Bradley previously told Radio Times: "If there is a slight misread, I am stopped immediately - bang - by the lawyers. We have the compliance lawyers in the studio all the time."What you have to do is go back to the start of the question, literally on video tape where my mouth opens - or where it’s closed from the previous question - and the question is re-asked. It is stopped to the split second.
On average, it takes Bradley 3.6 to 4 seconds to ask a question. He continued: "You have to be at such a speed: if you’re a contestant and I go, ‘What’s… the capital… of France…' - they’d be dead and buried in thirty seconds." "I have to make sure they get up to speed and they’re getting about 18 or 19 questions answered correctly. That’s the real banana skin score. Once the chasers get in a rhythm there’s no stopping them. They can answer 24, 25 questions in two minutes. We’ve even almost reached thirty."
