There's a thought Webby, but I've heard other people talking about it so I don't think that's the case. Hope not! Talking about the experience is half the fun for me!
Thanks coely. There are definitely drivers and passengers! But I suppose it's random choice. I've seen great teams and really crap teams. And, of course, mixes of both.

If you DO have to sign an official secrets act, most of the chasers are the right build to enforce it.

Prof, I never got to see my Yorkshireman's wallet but he tipped up his pay packet every week for years and had his 'spends'!!!!

GB,
I think the barrister is the scariest, but I wish he wouldn't keep having another day at the office!!

Webbie, my mam was the same, except he just tipped up the housekeeping (and for years it never went up)

I had a Dad from Lancashire and a Mum from Yorkshire. Money was tight, but we had everything we needed. It taught me the value of saving for what you want and living within your means.
In order of preference for the Chasers I would like: 1) Paul, 2) Anne, 3) Mark, 4) Shaun. I think Mark (The Beast) is the cleverest if they can even be compared, they're all amazing. He rarely makes a mistake. I've seen Anne, Shaun and Paul have bad days, but never Mark. Strangely, Ian is hoping I don't get Anne, he thinks she is the best Chaser!

re 127: At the end of every month I would hand the missus my paycheck. Always seemed to forget to tell her I got paid every fortnight

I enjoyed last night's Chase, what a pity the 4th player didn't go high, I don't recall £66K being offered before and the total would have been £20K each, but they all seemed over the moon with their £4½K each
And again, my favourite Chaser Paul came up trumps, applauding the team and being magnanimous in defeat

re post 131:
Guilty as charged, Webby
(I stole that joke from a very old Danish skit)
As you were & carry on & nothing more to be seen here & all that

Well that was one hell-of-a-programme!
Who'd have thought 2 players going for £43K and getting 11 points would have beaten Shaun?

Still keeping tabs after a bit of a hiccup with my internet. Sons are so useful
Hope all is well with you GB and your family,
Keep in touch

Aye, all's well here. Still watching The Chase, still waiting for a phone call. It's the talk of the town, it seems. Can't go anywhere without bumping into someone who asks "have you been on The Chase yet?" half of Lincolnshire & Yorkshire must be watching, waiting...
The buzz has gone round all Mum's carers. It's the first thing they ask, if I'm there. Mum loves all the chat though. One girl said she could never go on as she thinks she's thick as two short planks. Mum retorted "Our Ann's clever, and she'll beat the chaser!"
