The Chase is back and fans are over the moon
Despite the fact we think the cast and crew of The Chase had more than earned a bit of a break, ITV afternoon viewers were spitting out their tea in protest that Rylan Clark-Neal's Babushka was airing at 5pm for (gasp) four whole weeks.
Well, now The Chase is back on our screens and the Great British public has stopped rioting and returned to Twitter to brag about how much better at the show they would be than the people actually doing it (to be fair, today's team really didn't do very well at all).
We've collected just some of the things people have been saying about the return of Bradley Walsh and company – just be warned that some of these tweets may contain strong language, because nothing gets people more worked up than daytime game shows, apparently.
Thank God The Chase is back! All is right in the world. Babushka was no substitute. #thechase

Q - Which prime minister was educated at Wheatley Park Girls school?
A- Winston Churchill
Good to see #TheChase maintaining high standards 🤔- Warren Wilson (@MrWJWilson) May 29, 2017
Pretty sure Winston Churchill didn't go to a girls' grammar school... #thechase

I mean, it's all very well trying new formats and giving things a chance and that, but Babouska was shite, wasn't it #TheChase

He should've just went for the higher offer! Because there's no way he's gonna beat The Beast in the final chase 🙄 #TheChase

We feel really bad for whatever gameshow ITV commissions to replace The Chase during its next break, to be honest. Sure, Babushka had some teething problems, but it wasn't (that) bad.
The Chase airs weekday afternoons on ITV at 5pm - until it goes on a break again (evil laugh).
