The most steps set for The Chaser was 28. This has happened twice, and on both occasions the Chaser was only able to get 27 steps and the contestants won.
Until September 2015, the show was broadcast five nights a week with four chasers, meaning that one chaser would appear twice one week; this alternated between all four chasers week by week. In September 2015, a fifth chaser, Jenny Ryan, joined the show, meaning each chaser now appears once a week.
The least steps set for The Chaser was 7. This has happened twice, the first time Chaser Mark Labbett caught the contestants with 1:33 left on the clock. The second time Chaser Anne Hegerty caught the contestants with 1:31 left on the clock.
A technical error in April 2016 saw the clock on the final round briefly stop and miss a second as Mark Labbett struggled to catch the team. It allowed Labbett another second to answer the questions, though he was still unable to catch the contestants score.
The largest amount offered to a contestant is £117,000. This amount was offered to Ed Byrne by Chaser Anne Hegerty on a celebrity edition of the show in 2013. He then won the multiple choice round and The Final Chase was for a record £120,000.
