Agree totally. My general knowledge is not brilliant to say the least but I found the questions very easy and the pace makes a broken-legged tortoise look like Usain Bolt.
Turned to ITV expecting the Chase to be on and found this crud. Managed to watch the first 3/4 of the show and actually fell asleep so missed the end. Didnt 'get' the black fella. Was he supposed to have been menacing or something? Looked the part until he opened his mouth.
All us Chase fans are disappointed when it has it's summer break as the replacement show is never as good. This is barely adequate as a gap-filler. Questions too easy though I quite like the concept. At least today's winner was knowledgeable and actually won something.
