the chase

she was unlucky

she got zero on first bit, practically impossible.

That'd really hurt...a lone contender nailed with less than a second top go for £50K

PS - anyone have any theories as to how the chasers get paid?
Surely it can't be a set rate with no bonanza if they win.
Is it linked to how much they offer the contestants in some way?

I've seen a few episodes when it's really seemed to have mattered to them, especially Mark who's banged the table in disgust at himself!
Surely they can't be that joyous at nailing some poor fcuker in the last stride for a decent wedge unless they're earning a substantial bonus?

not sure, didn't realise the chase is on the telly in the states too, must get a canny chunk for that.

Presumably the chasers  have their own little mini league, its very
unlikely that they have carte blanche on what they offer contestants.
The woman today was  unlucky, who ever heard of a tweel biscuit.

The clue was in the question. `French for tile, a thin buscuit?` = tweel.

I thought it was hob nob

What on earth is a tweel biscuit?

What does it look like?

they are very thin like Pringles, when you get them hot from the oven you can shape them before they cool. Think of a brandy snap from the fair

I've never heard of Ken Dodd

She was a bit fick.
