Synopsis
You know The Chase, right? Bradley Walsh, quizzers who tower above you, loads of questions. And you remember Destination X? Folk on a bus trying to work out where they are and travel within cities? Put the two together and you'll get The Chase Around the World. Or, more accurately, The Chase Across Western Europe, but that doesn't sound as fun.
Six pairs of contestants are given clues and hints to find the various Chasers, with the last pitting their general-knowledge wits against the Chasers to stay in the game. Surviving competitors also do that at the final site, but they're trying to win £100,000.
Destinations for the series include Rome, Lisbon, Paris, Athens, and Switzerland. Missed opportunity to get Fanny Chmelar involved, wethinks.

Trivia
We were disgusted, sickened, and horrified to see a disclaimer at the end of episode two saying "Some images in the programme have been created/generated with AI". Morons. Everybody knows it's "were created/generated"...
