The Chase viewers tuned into the second episode of the week, as four new players teamed up in a bid to win some cash on Tuesday.
As ever, Bradley Walsh hosted the popular quiz show. He welcomed Sylvester from Surrey, Juliet from Halifax, Grace from Birmingham and Dan from High Wycombe, who were all keen to pit their wits against one of Britain's biggest brains.
Sylvester went first against Jenny Ryan aka The Vixen. After getting an impressive six questions right in his cash builder, he accepted the middle offer and played for £6,000.

He went question for question against The Vixen and was very nearly caught. Bradley asked him "How many of Shakespeare's plays contain a pair of names in the title?". He guessed "three".
Explaining why he opted for this number, he said: "I can only think of... Hamlet, Macbeth and Othello". Bradley looked bemused.
Sylvester said: "I haven't got this right, have I?". Bradley replied: "Well unless it's Mac and Beth, his wife, they're not pairs". Luckily for Sylvester, he was right.
Three of Shakespeare's plays have two names in the title: Romeo and Juliet, Anthony and Cleopatra, and Troilus and Cressida. Jenny Ryan sadly opted for five.
Bradley told Sylvester he was "jammy, very jammy". The student from Surrey then told the Vixen: "I'll see you later Jenny", with a smirk. Bradley quickly intervened, telling him "don't wind her up, just get in the final".
The Chase airs weekdays from 5pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
