‘Beyond a joke now!’ rage The Chase fans as they bombard ITV with complaints ahead of summer schedule shake-up
FANS of The Chase have been left annoyed as the ITV game show faces a summer scheduling shake up.
Viewers have predicted that there will be no more new episodes of the quiz until September, and have hit out after already experiencing two months of reruns.
As an episode aired on Monday night that had aired before, people at home began to complain that ITV bosses are not making an effort with The Chase.
They pointed out that spin-off show Beat The Chasers has still been producing new content.
Fans are also concerned about the fate of the game show over the rest of this summer, as the Euros are coming up.
Some suggested it is likely that the football games will take broadcasting precedence over The Chase.
One person took to social media, angrily hitting out: “8 weeks on and still repeats. Because of the football in June & July and the fact that August always repeats, we probably won’t be getting any more new episodes until F*G SEPTEMBER!!”
Another chimed in: “I like how ITV have time to put out brand-new episodes of Beat The Chasers, but have spent weeks showing endless repeats of The Chase – and it’s gonna get worse.
“As well as repeats, some episodes won’t be shown at all due to Euro 2024 happening next month.”
A third moaned: “Pfffft! Repeats again. Happy Monday chasers.”
This week’s repeat episode featured a group of four hopefuls taking on Jenny Ryan, better known as The Vixen, for the chance at a cash prize.
Three of the contestants made it to the finals, but Jill from Fife lost in the first round and was sent home.
Katie, Max, and Pete actually managed to beat The Vixen in the end, and walked away with the grand sum of £18,000.
