The Chase has been going here in Oz for a few years and now Ann and Mark are featuring in our Aussie version of the show along with a couple of our local quiz experts. Wife enjoys it! :) I admire they way Bradley conducts the UK show - he's a natural.

Never miss The Chase. Bradley Walsh started of as a comedian .Very good. Does Law and Order UK .Watched his new show Wednesday night AT THE PALLADIUM. Good to see a good variety show back on air. :D

Edit- There was talk a few years back about The Chase being shown in America ,with Bradley Walsh and Mark being on it. Not sure what happened.

I enjoy POINTLESS but only if THE CHASE isn't on. So far, it looks like THE CHASE is the favourite?

The difference for me is that I can often beat the contestants on THE CHASE and sometimes the 'chaser' (probably an 'age' thing) - earlier this week, for example, a young contestant didn't know what half a shilling was :wink: !

I sometimes haven't a clue on POINTLESS - it was never in my psyche to score nothing and I struggle with the concept!

I just think alot of younger people on quiz shows don't know much about history and quite recent history at that

None of them If anything something I recorded that was most probably on at 3 in the morning

History isn't taught as it was , nothing really before 1945, and certainly NO Scottish History ,
I know that'll get up some folk's noses, but that is the curriculum and has been for at least 30 years.
I would be happy to discuss it on another thread
