At 1:09 left, Paul had 19 steps left and he did 18 with 3 seconds left to answer the last question. I believe that segment is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, rates a Chaser has gone on. 18 steps in 1 minute and 5 seconds. He definitely knew the answer to the last question but cracked under pressure and some of his answers (like the abbreviation one) were unfortunate misses. He would have caught them with just a slight push more.

On the 28 target ones the chasers both got pushed back 3 times as well so to get that close to 31 if you count the pushbacks is amazing

The very first episode I watched was the one where Mark successfully caught a 26. If he hadn't been overthought the moose question and tried to be too specific with his answer, he'd have caught that 28 as well.

@@moatef1886 absolutely. No wonder why he's possibly the best chasers when he's on his game.

I couldn't doing it I keep winning

Its incredible how fast he was answering, most people can't even process the questions in time,

One of THE best Final Chases EVER!!!

That was actually the fastest chase of all time with a chaser speed of 18/minuet

Mark answered 30 questions correct in that final and it wasnt enough. Holy moly.

I want 30 steps

Great

Look at him someone is telling him the answers in his ear piece keep looking at him you know by his face expression I ever seen any of these 🤩😘

Nah I think it’s more you get on a rhythm and when that’s interrupted it’s hard to get going

@@Shiggystardust That plays into it too, but there's definitely some luck in what questions you get.

i reckon they gave her easier questions in the first one because they were playing for $100,000

Mark also got a 26 before!

@@michaelangelo2192 In a clean sweep too!

but both chasers in their 28-step chases got 26 with 5 seconds remaining. It was literally impossible to catch 28 with just 5 seconds remaining on 26. (but paul had 6, and 3 seconds on the last question. Bradley read the last question slow. His fault for not giving him a chance to catch.) But had Anne Hegerty in her 26-step chase had a target of 28, with an extra player in, she would have caught it, as it was very easy to get 2 steps with 9 seconds remaining, not 5 or 6.

@@michaelangelo2192 but with 3 seconds remaining. He did worse than his 28-step chase, where he got 26 with 5 seconds remaining.

@@henrymanley4116 just because a chaser can catch 26 in a clean sweep doesn't mean he could have done 28. 3 seconds remaining is only enough for just 1 question. So 27 was possible, but not 28.

The sets if questions they get, combined with their age and inherent interests, definitely make a difference. The first 24 the Vixen caught where she did the run of 16, was a great set of questions, I haven't studied up or practiced for many years and even I got 13 out of that run of 16. The speed at which Shaun says correct does seem a bit variable, and would definitely have an affect.

@@kermita12 apparently they have an independent judiciary to make sure it's fair

@@kermita12 Shaun? You mean Bradley?

Not only that but I’ve seen Jenny lose to 22 against a tens so yeah

I feel what was so damning was Paul’s final question. He is a qualified doctor, it’s just so easy for questions like that to slip out of your head. Like I knew upper arm straight away but the 2 questions before I didn’t even hear the question before he gave the answer

@@ttsfish1372Just imagine if he acc got the 28th question tho insane

​@@ttsfish1372if you go back and listen to it, Bradley actually stumbled on the question a bit.

But 27 isn't even close to 3.0488834x10²⁹

I think its mark, cuz ive seen anne fumble some very low chase scores more frequently than mark.

@@crudojoshuaricofort8795 All the Chasers have, as Shaun would say, a 'bad day in the office'

Mark is a gifted genius. Shaun is a hard worker. Anne is a mix of the two

@@JimmyBoosterCrate Completely agree!

@@JimmyBoosterCrate what the hell is a gifted genius? is there such thing as an ungifted genius? and no... mark is not a genius, at least not yet. to be classified as a genius, you'd need to make lasting contribution in your field, imo. you need to hit a target that most people can't see. People like Tesla, Einstein, Newton, Gauss...are geniuses. Authors who come up with riveting plots are geniuses. Composers who make sublime music are geniuses. Mark has done nothing on that level. Need some creative output. You can have a piano virtuoso, but that would not make the pianist a genius. A true genius would create music and potentially even play the instrument for which it was created for. Vivaldi was a genius. But take a gifted Chinese kid who plays his songs....Not the same. One made the song, and another just plays it well. To even come up with these songs is mind-blowing. This is what separates genius from those who are merely skilled. Genius creates something mindblowing. Skilled people can imitate. But they are not original. An IQ score means nothing without creative output. Only a fool would think that high IQ = genius. Richard Feynman had an unremarkable IQ, presumably due to the verbal section dragging his average down, but it was undeniable that he was a genius of the highest order. Professors were intimidated by him. Most people with a higher IQ than Feynman would not be anywhere near as smart as him.

That bitch cost them £100,000 , I like her though .

He'd speed up when needed, 20 isnt that high to go ham like how mark does it...

Darragh is new he’ll probably have a mid-high 20s at some point to really go for it

Lol we have the same name, haha

I think this just shows the difference between a 20 and even a 24. When the Chaser "only" needs to answer 10 questions a minute, they can afford to take a little bit of time to think of the answer, where that extra time isn't there when you go much further

The show slowed down the pace and has likely asked Bradley to slow down the rate of questions. The questions are a bit harder than they used to be back then as well.

I mean he's getting older would like to see you do any better

@@jowen24k53 Unlike Paxman, Bradley still has his wits about him.

Hardly think so

@@jowen24k53 exactly tell me about i know right

I believe that Dara is still the only chaser that has not lost a game yet.

Jenny seems nice as well

@@TalentedHV well he has now

Regan I did see that. The contestant won 70,000 pounds. Good for her.

Thanks Kieran! I'll be honest here, the excitement in the moment was actually more for us beating Jenny, it was only after the camera had stopped that I realised I was quids in! A few disparaging voices on social media were less than complimentary about my reaction, but I try not to worry too much about their opinion.

@@snathe Congratulations Nathan P:) That was a good performance and reaction, my friend. I assume there is no audience and how long are you there,please?

@@Isleofskye You're right, there's no audience for the "ordinary" episodes, it's only for the celebirity specials that they let an audience in. It was a long day of filming - I got to the studios about midday, although it was about 4pm by the time we actually got in to the studio to record as we had to sit through a briefing, then get make up sorted. But it was still one of the best days of my life!

Though .

@@patrickkparrker413 shush

But no one wants to get pushed back and do more work lol.

He always gets destroyed

@@ReeceTongs not always. once he caught a 23 with sufficient time to catch a 27 or a 28

nah, most of them are arrogant. i remember once when shaun corrected paul, and paul got annoyed, because it was on a specialist's subject that shaun focused on during his mastermind run. having lots of knowledge does not make them smart. I remember one episode on the eggeheads where like 4 elite quiz players could not even work out the total interior angle of a regular polygon....something which they'd have learned in school. notice how most chasers were not that bright in school.

ah but that was before april 21 2021

There is a reason it says "outdated" in the title..

But the chasers can process info faster than normal people, if u read out a question really fast for me I would not comprehend it.

I have also noticed that he draws out 'correct' a little bit

I've noticed that or he draws the question out

@@robertwhite4112 the chasers can also interrupt Bradley if they think they know the answer meaning he doesn't need to finish the question thus saving them time

Every episode I've seen, he's said "Stop the clock. That is wrong."

The animation can do the talking. Just play the sound.

The questions are definitely harder

They are running out of questions to ask lol

The questions are harder, but also the audience is less hardcore, before its mainstream popularity it was watched by a more hardcore quizzing audience

Questions are harder and he reads them slower

Obviously the questions are getting harder considering people are becoming more intelligent and educated your observation really isn’t very accurate

Anne’s highest score she won is 26

The question did specify "phrase", so it makes sense.

Also had a bunch of push backs!

Answers are crap they are made up by Brady Walsh it's all afix the game iam delighted they won well done 🤩😘

She's not it's all a fix they are been told the answers you would have to be blind not to see that t hats why Brady is always roaring at the TV if you think you are cleaver come and have a go🤩😘

Just look at him camera goes of him and then I am delighted they won they well won it🤩😘

Have you seen the final chase where it’s for big money and the clock stops on 1 second to go for about 2 seconds so the chaser managed to catch them? Haa it’s pretty sus this show. He asks the questions a lot faster too when it’s a higher target

@Top Lobster it's not even close to the record - Deal or No Deal gave away £250k multiple times.

Maybe the contestants should be more risk taking then

@Top Lobster It was the biggest solo win on the Chase daytime

@@Yeast85 Do you mind showing me evidence of the click stopping at 1 second for about 2 seconds?

if my memory is correct, Darragh and James Holzhauer (one of of four Chasers on the American reboot) are the only 2 who were former contestant's, Correct? (James was a contestant on the first US oncarmation of the show)

@@disneydanny2 yes, Darragh was a contestant back in 2017.. I think they fought Paul back then..? It took 4 years of auditions to get the chaser spot..

@@disneydanny2 this is correct for the UK and US versions. 6 have done it worldwide

Pretty sure they lost multiple times, but it hasn’t been aired yet.

They probably just don't bother airing the small sums where they catch easily - doesn't make for good TV. People want to see a lot on the line

This choosing Set A or B is nonsense because someone in the Production team knows one set of questions is the hardest and can just ensure the team gets that set whether they shout out "A" or "B" whereas if Bradley had them both in his hands and marked account it's legit.

There are two sets of questions. The contestants pick set A or B. Lighten up

@@mattfromwiisports9046 there may be 2 sets of questions but without an independent body to keep them in check they can just ensure the contestants get the harder set no matter what they choose

@@XaviRonaldo0 that is possible. The show has been very sus on occasions so I wouldn’t rule out them just giving the contestants what they think is harder. However I still think the chasers are incredibly talented

No, the answer is leg.

The basilic vein is in the arm mate, along with the Cephalic, they’re the major veins of the arm

I remind you that Paul is a doctor and would definitely know that

And the bit before the contestants have to buzz in which wastes time I find it so unfair

The chasers don't need buzzers because they're answering themselves

@@louischapman1209 The contestants have to buzz in because there's more than one of them in the final chase

If the contestants are playing for big money a get a decent score, Bradley suddenly starts reading the chasers questions quicker and his correct is not drawn out

@@henrymanley4116 yall know thats why they have the extra steps at the beginning right?

Nobody sees him as a weaker chaser though. He's literally the one who ranks highest in the World Quizzing Championships. It's a pretty clear consensus that Shaun is the "weakest"

@@JimmyBoosterCrate indeed, Shaun is sort of a specialist he is really superb at sport but is not as good at general knowledge as some of the others

When asked on an episode of Beat the Chasers, all the other chasers pointed to Paul as the best chaser.

@@bobomb1986 yet he makes the most mistakes and is often the slowest to answer… it’s mark

@@saltbjorn By net speed of questions correctly answered per minute, Paul has won 27 of his 28 "slowest" chases. Of the bottom 28 of Shaun's chases by questions per minute, he has lost three.

Same, Mark wears his name so well. He's terrifying. Facing an on-form Beast is like running away from a train

I like mark too

They probably should've asked for elaboration

That fox is orange

Wow Jesus loves you ❤ Repent Come to Jesus ❤

Luxid 413 I’m a born again believer

All of my family think this way.

Encouraging teamplay is a big part of the show though. If a solo player had essentially as good chances as a full house, then players would just throw the team work out of the window and take inconsiderate risks

Amount of time lost by a four-player team in terms of button-presses, etc, over two minutes, more-or-less corresponds with the amount of time it takes for a chaser to get four extra answers. Around 18 seconds (4.5 seconds per contestant/question).

Fuckin maniac lmao

That’s kinda like saying, that table is made of human because despite the material being wood, it was made by a person.
