'The Chase' Blasted For Super-Strict Answer Rules

This is the sort of thing we expect to see on ‘Pointless’.

‘The Chase’ fans weren’t happy with the show after Thursday (24 March) night's episode, when Bradley Walsh got super-strict with one of the question’s answers.

During the episode, viewers saw contestant Lucie told she was incorrect, when she responded to Bradders with ‘pram’, after being asked to name the UK equivalent of what Americans call a 'stroller'.

He then informed her the answer was actually ‘pushchair’.

Now, we know what you’re thinking: “Hmmm, aren’t they the same thing?”

Well that’s what the good people of Twitter said too…

Soz #TheChase but I think 'pram' is a reasonable synonym for 'push chair'. Unfair.

Although obviously, there’s always one who’s ready to deliver the cold, hard facts:

#TheChase Pram is tall, occupant lies flat. Pushchair nearer floor, occupant sits. Different

Nevertheless, the team made it through the final chase, and triumphed over the Chaser and this next tweet sums up our feelings on the matter:

Hope Lucie carts her 10k off in a nice shiny Pram #thechase
