The chasers on this show are basically human search engines with a side of menace. To beat them, you need a combination of luck, speed, and the audacity to buzz in before you've fully processed the question. In this legendary episode, the team didn't just survive the final chase—they thrashed it. They banked £25,000 each, which is enough to buy a second-hand car or, more importantly, a lifetime supply of tea.
But here's the kicker: one contestant, a retired teacher named Sarah, came into the game with a target of £70,000. That's an insane amount for a daytime quiz show. She then proceeded to get every single pushback question correct, sending the Chaser, Mark Labbett (aka "The Beast"), into a state of mild panic. The Beast actually had to stop and take a sip of water. That's how you know it's a big deal.
The Moment of Glory
The final chase was a bloodbath. The team needed 20 correct answers in two minutes. It sounds impossible, like asking a cat to do your taxes. Yet they pulled it off, hitting the target with seconds to spare. The audience roared, Bradley Walsh did his signature "How about that?" shuffle, and the Chaser looked like he'd just swallowed a wasp. The prize money? A cool £100,000—the largest single team win in the show's history.

What's even funnier is that the Chaser later admitted he lost on purpose... okay, he didn't, but his reaction was so defeated you'd think he had. In reality, the team simply played out of their minds. They answered questions about obscure 19th-century poetry and the chemical formula for table salt with the confidence of people who've never doubted themselves in their lives.
