The Chase fans confused and ask ‘is this 2003?’ as contestant reveals he still has an MP3 player
FANS of The Chase were left baffled tonight after a contestant confessed to still using an MP3 player.
The chap, called Will, was asked to correctly name the 2010 Mark Ronson song Bang Bang Bang when he made the admission.
Answering the £4,000 question, Will told host Bradley Walsh: “I know the song. I have it on my MP3 player.
“But I didn’t know whether it was Bang Bang or Bang Bang Bang?”
Will, who was facing Chaser Paul Sinha, answered the question correctly, but viewers were more perplexed by his nod to the noughties.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “’I have it on my MP3 player’ Are these repeats from 2003? #TheChase.”
Another asked: “His MP3 player what year is this? #thechase.”
A third wrote: “MP3 Player! How old are these episodes….? #TheChase.”
Again, questioning the age of the episode, another baffled viewer penned: “MP3 player what decade is he in #TheChase.”
The episode that aired on Wednesday (March 31, 2021) was in fact an old repeat, having been originally shown in 2016.
‘Episode 62’, featuring Will and fellow contestants Andy, Melanie and Jenny, was filmed as part of the 10th series of The Chase.
The popular ITV game show, which launched in 2009, is currently in its 14th series. The most recent series’ have more than 200 episodes each.
But although Will’s MP3 player confession did reveal the real age of the instalment, some fans still did not twig that is was old.
“I still have an mp3 player that I use when I go for my daily walk!” one viewer admitted.
Another added: “What you lot got against the MP3?! Ive still got one! #TheChase.”
