British GameShow hosted by Creator/BradleyWalsh (two American versions also exist; see below). As explained [[OnceAnEpisode at the start of every episode]], a team of four players, never having met before, answer trivia questions to earn cash and then compete against the day's "Chaser" (one of several resident trivia/quizzing experts) for the chance to take home an equal share of the money the team earned overall. The name of the show comes from the need to answer enough questions correctly to stay ahead of the Chaser on the show's gameboard. Considering the Chasers have prominent backgrounds in local/national/international quizzing competitions, and the rather difficult nature of the questions, this is ''not'' easy.

** ''Beat the Chasers'' is the inverse: a full suite of Chasers goes up against a singular contestant. Naturally, this attracts a lot of trivia buffs who want to lock horns with them.

** However in the spin-off ''Beat the Chasers'', this trope is played straight: confetti falls whenever a contestant defeats all five chasers and wins an especially high amount (normally £100,000), which is usually the highest amount won in that episode. In later seasons, it doesn't matter how much you win, as winning at least £50,000 or £60,000 is enough to get confetti falling on you.
