Was this in the Cashbuilder round? I struggle to understand Bradley when he's speaking so fast. I would probably have just heard 'prime minister' and blurted out any old PM. Better than passing, as I always say. That REALLY annoys me

I'd have known that one.  She signed her own political death warrant when she introduced that legislation.

Cant keep blaming Maggie then!

18:33 I think Brad is clear most of the time, he sometimes misspronounces a word and puts you off but in the whole I'd say he's pretty good. He was clear with this question.

It was the right policy but like Liz Truss' economics it was put to death! (but not by the same people)

In a few months we will have 'which prime minister froze the pensioners to death'?

Depends if the contestant was very young.  I find young people in general pretty poor on history.  Someone recently gave Abraham Lincoln as a 20th century president.  That said, I could never go on The Chase.  I often need more thinking time.  

I think I would have given the young girl a few grand.

the bloke looks mid 50s to me.

Aren't people still being pusued for Poll Tax arrears? It wouldn't surprise me.  I know someone who never paid a penny of it and was pusued for years by the council.

This one depends on how old the contestant is. For we oldies who lived through both PMs it is ludicrous. But I was thinking about it in terms of the 34-year gap - for example say in 1963 (when I was 21) - how much did I know about PMs in 1929 - answer absolutely nothing.

I'm just watching it.  He's an orthopaedic surgeon so no idiot.  Maybe his nerves got the better of him.

I ran it back to the introductions.  He's 34.

I would have thought the answer would have been "The Witch"

Not for the first time on The Chase, on today's show the chaser gave a wrong answer, I think intentionally.

He said 'Sam and Dave' instead of 'Chas and Dave'.  Not convinced that was a genuine mistake.

//Aren't people still being pusued for Poll Tax arrears?//

I doubt it - not after 30 years!

That was for a big prize pot.  I don't think the chaser threw it.

As I've said before on here, there's nothing in it for the Chasers: they get paid, win or lose.  The one thing that would make the programme better - and more exciting - is if we were told the Chasers din't get their fee (which must be a few thousand pounds per show) if they lost.

Then they really would have skin in the game!

I don't think their fee is the issue - I think if they lost too much on the big prizes, hence losing ITV a lot of money, they would be fired.  Darragh lost a very large sum recently - he looked quite sick.  I think when he made the offer he was very confident that the opposition was weak.  He was wrong.

I bet set A or set B for the final Chase don't exist.There are team questions and chaser questions.
