THE CHASE AROUND THE WORLD: APPLICATIONS OPEN FOR NEW ITV ADVENTURE QUIZ SHOW

As exclusively revealed by TV Zone in September, The Chase Around The World is set for a full series on ITV, following a pilot earlier this year - also revealed by TV Zone. Applications are now open for the new series, here.

The series is a primetime reality competition spin-off to daytime staple quiz The Chase. Production on The Chase Around The World is due to commence early next year and will be produced by Potato, who also produce the daytime series and Beat The Chasers.

Details on specific format points are being kept under wraps, but TV Zone understands the show will involve pairs of contestants answering questions and solving puzzles whilst travelling around the world to be in with a chance of winning a huge cash prize.

ITV have not yet announced the series, so it is not clear how close to the The Chase - which continues weekdays at 5pm on ITV - this new format will be, or whether Bradley Walsh or any of the Chasers will be involved.

Meanwhile, Beat The Chasers has been recommissioned for an eighth series to air next year. Beat The Chasers sees individuals take on all six Chasers - The Governess, The Vixen, The Menace, The Dark Destroyer, The Beast and The Sinnerman - in the hope of winning a huge cash prize.

To build a cash pot, the contestants have to answer multiple choice questions - get the first one wrong, and they are out, but answer one or more correctly and they get to face the Chasers, who offer time and money in order to take them on.

If the contestants get all Cash Builder questions right, they are given a super offer to face all the Chasers for up to £600,000 - the endgame is a nail-biting head-to-head race against the clock.

Run out of time before the Chasers and the contestants go home with nothing, but if the Chasers run out of time before them, they will win the money for their nominated charities. With Bradley Walsh as our presenter, is anyone good enough to take on the greatest quiz team that ever lived?

Previous episodes of The Chase and Beat The Chasers are available on ITVX.
