I like Shaun Wallace as well - the only impression I can recall him doing was an attempt at Bruce Forsyth. Even Bradley Walsh couldn't keep his face straight.......mind you, it doesn't take much to set him off.

A little while back, Challenge was showing some of the American editions of The Chase where Mark Labbett was the chaser (in fact, he was the only one). I watched a couple of the shows, but I didn't really take to them and stopped watching. It was a little different to the UK shows, for example there were only 3 contestants instead of 4, and Labbett remained in his chair throughout the show. I've never understood why in the UK version the chasers have to keep walking back to their seat every time a contestant is ready to face them.

The only time I've noticed the Chasers staying in their seat, is on the celebrity version, when they do the final chase (when the celebrities try to get as many questions correct in two minutes). It gets on my nerves a bit, when they keep walking along the bridge to their seat (I fast forward through some of each edition I watch).

I've watched some editions of the American version on Challenge (I've since seen host Brooke Burns in a Hallmark murder mystery TV film series called The Gourmet Detective, and I know she starred in a season of Baywatch). Mark Labett has appeared on an Australian version as well with Anne Hegerty. I'm not sure if that version has aired over here.

On one edition of the American version, it must have been Mark Labett's birthday at the time. I've never seen this happen on the UK version, he came down to the floor area where Brooke Burns and the contestants were, because a birthday cake had been made for him.
