No new episodes have been filmed in months.
We’re just going to come straight out and say it, we love The Chase, and we’re pretty sure there’s a hell of a lot of people who agree with us on this.
The quiz show has captured the hearts and minds of people with a combination of the excellent host Bradley Walsh, some loveably annoying chasers, and a reliance on people’s belief that they’re smarter than the contestants on television.
Walsh has hosted The Chase for nine years and last year, it was revealed he would be joining the cast of Dr Who while still maintaining his role as show host. Because, let’s face it, there’s no The Chase without Bradley.
But according to one of the chasers, no new shows have been filmed since July and the series is relying on episodes they’ve stockpiled since last year to feed the public demand.
“We stopped filming for a few months when Bradley did Doctor Who,” chaser Anne Hegerty told The Mirror. “We did some shows in April and June.
“I have not filmed since July.
“As a Doctor Who fan, I am really excited that he is on the show.
“But as someone who works with him, I do hope we are going to get some time to make new shows.”
