Thursday’s Challenge: From The Chase to Antique Adventures – Your Must‑Watch Picks

If you’re looking for a Thursday night that balances brains, banter and a dash of nostalgia, Challenge’s schedule has you covered. From trivia battles that keep you on the edge of your seat to a celebrity treasure hunt that will tug at your heartstrings, here’s what you shouldn’t miss.

The Chase – 06:00 – 07:00

Bradley Walsh’s flagship quiz series returns with a new episode of the high‑energy showdown. Contestants must out‑think the Chaser in a rapid‑fire session of general knowledge. The pacing remains tight, and the host’s banter keeps the atmosphere lively. Still entertaining, it’s a classic that holds up well against newer formats.

Celebrity Antiques Road Trip – 10:00 – 11:15

Olympians Robin Cousins and Tessa Sanderson hit the road with a modest budget to search for hidden treasures. With expert guides David Harper and David Barby, the journey blends nostalgia with the thrill of the hunt. The dynamic between the hosts adds humor, making it a reliable pick for family viewing.

Blankety Blank – 11:15 – 12:00

The classic fill‑in‑the‑blank game returns with Lily Savage at the helm. The celebrity panel offers light‑hearted banter, and the format’s simplicity appeals to viewers of all ages. It’s a familiar choice that still feels fresh.

Cash Trapped – 12:00 – 13:00

Six contestants battle in four rounds of general knowledge, with the stakes rising each round. Bradley Walsh brings his trademark enthusiasm, and the format keeps the tension high. While it’s a solid game‑show option, it may feel repetitive for viewers seeking something entirely different.

Bridge Of Lies – 13:00 – 14:00

Ross Kemp leads contestants across a metaphorical bridge of truths and lies. The game’s twist on truth‑telling adds a psychological layer that is intriguing. It’s a good pick if you enjoy testing intuition.

All Star Family Fortunes – 16:15 – 17:00

Stars compete to win money for charity, with a family twist. The glitzy format delivers light-hearted competition, but the pacing can feel uneven. It’s worth a glance if you enjoy celebrity involvement.

Bottom Line

Thursday on Challenge offers a blend of quiz mastery, antique adventures, and playful banter. The Chase remains the anchor of the night, while Celebrity Antiques Road Trip adds a unique twist. For those who prefer a lighter tone, Blankety Blank and All Star Family Fortunes deliver.
