Is it me or is this just the most mean spirited quizshow on TV? I have no idea why anyone would go on it, winning seems to depend on how charitable the producers are feeling on any given day.
I swear there was one episode with an old guy on the team who looked like he was going to cry when they lost with just seconds to go.

Oh god, don't get me started on those freeloading s who take -£2k just in the hope they can get a piece of £30k or whatever the others have got the pot up to.
But back to the actual game, it just seems totally in the Chasers favour, eg, when the time is nearly up whathisface starts asking questions like he's the dude from the old Micro Machines adverts. Has anyone even won anything worthwhile recently? Tonight all four got through, got 21 steps and lost with 1 second to go. Their own fault for not getting any pushbacks I guess but sometimes it's like the game goes;
To players: "what was the name of abraham lincolns best friends mothers dog?"
To Chaser: "what colour is red?"
Like I said in the OP, one old guy the other week genuinely looked heartbroken as the Chaser just got them with seconds to go. I think he wanted to take his wife abroad or something.

^ Of course it's like that. It'd be no fun as a viewer if it was mid tier difficulty throughout - and the chaser regularly pasted them with a minute to go.
It's easily spottable telly that it gets easier near the death, but it's still fun when the chaser gets flustered - the governess especially crashes and burns every so often...

And then when they have a lot of steps like tonight, Bradley Walsh asks the Chaser questions like this:
