Having watched all five of the episodes from the first week of this new game show my reaction to it is that it is passable but not particularly good.
Dan Walker makes for a rather bland presenter but he neither does anything very wrong or is particularly annoying. The actual dynamics of the game play work, especially in the endgame, but wow this programme feels drawn out. The reconnaissance section of the show goes on far too long and is full of padding. The concept of having to wait while the security guard goes and physically fetches the selected case (which contains no actual currency) and brings it to the soundproof room seems odd and unnecessary.
The endgame is more interesting though as we the audience know who has got what and who knows what and can see what strategies different players will employ and whether they are making the right or wrong decision.
Chase the Case is one of a number of new quiz/game shows filmed at the Pacific Quay Studio complex in Glasgow - but is not one of the better ones to air in the last couple of years.
