The Chase

... Doctor Who - Battlestar Galactica - Lost - The Wire - Entourage - 24 - Veronica Mars - Torchwood - The Sopranos - Curb Your Enthusiasm - Spooks - The West Wing - The X Factor - Arrested Development - The Shield - Deadwood - Grey's Anatomy - Gilmore Girls... list goes on-n-on

... 2006 a year of major competition for shows like The Chase, a good show but comeon, going up against real heavyweights, hardly was a match... a soap with loads of family drama, lies, infidelity, kids... All Creatures Great & Small on steroids... running just for two seasons 8 & 12 episodes... it was a show that really-maybe could have should-have gone longer, yet what would there have been left to tell... maybe like an ending worth an effort

... manner in which this production concluded after twenty episodes is absolute rubbish... and is-NOT worth-time-spent-watching.. period... leaving viewers abruptly-hanging sheer-nonsense.

This series would put many of the old daytime soap operas to shame! The whole village is rife with one illicit affair after another and the featured family is no exception. Unfortunately, probably a lot of realism with everyday life in rural England as it is in rural America or probably many countries. Just forget all the various simultaneous dramas going on and view it as a comedic "what's next" and the series takes on a whole new perspective. No, this much utter craziness probably doesn't exist in many families thankfully and it's a wonder we don't see more of the characters punching each other out. Just go with the flow and it's entertaining; expect it to make sense and you won't like it.

The first season was good but season 2 I don't even know where to begin. First off Tom is the absolute most dimwitted human being. Fiona literally made my flesh crawl off my bones. The other players are so clueless and insist on repeatedly lying about everything. I can honestly say this series frustrated me so bad mostly the Fiona thing. Oh dear God this is the creepiest storyline in a drama series I've ever watched. I actually had a soft spot for Claudie and her siblings. Liam was a complete sweetheart and Claudie really did love George to bits. Anna and Sarah were horrible to Claudie from the off. Claudie was actually just defending her ground the only way she knew how. If you want anger and flesh crawling ick this is the series for you.

What a waste of some good actors' skills and time. This series began with such promise. Season 1 was fair to middling, with just enough to create interest in watching Season 2. However, Season 2 rapidly declined into something close to absolute farce! The various plots became so ridiculous which in turn dragged the reputations of the otherwise good actors down with them. The script got worse and the idea that intelligent, highly-qualified V vets could behave so stupidly, was totally ridiculous! The scenery was beautiful, some of the music was ok but sadly, I feel obliged to warn people not to waste their time on this truly disappointing, totally unrealistic TV series.

At last a worthy veterinary show. This show is full of top stars and twisting plots. The show begun with Keith Barrons wedding and him announcing he was handing the practise over to his two very different daughters. The first episode begun with the affair of Anna's husband tom and the vet nurse Fiona and the arrival of the sister Sarah from London. The show is just what we need on a Sunday night. I really enjoy this and hope after the 8 episodes another series will be made. I give this 10 out 10. SUPERB. I would recommend this show to anyone of all ages who enjoys cute animals and a good story. This show may have competition with Where the heart is on ITV but i tape that and watch the chase.
