The series, created by the late Kay Mellor, has drawn consistent praise from viewers since it first aired, making it a recommended watch for fans of shows such as The Yorkshire Vet and Doc Martin.
A Well-Received Drama Returns
Since its original broadcast on the BBC in 2006, The Chase has been highly praised by fans. One viewer said: "What a breath of fresh air the first episode turned out to be. Excellent Sunday entertainment and just what the BBC needs. Great to see Kay Mellor is still coming up with the goods."
Another added: "Brilliantly written, superbly scripted and fantastic acting. I loved the way every piece of information was fed to the audience as we watched the web of lives tangle and untangle before our eyes. Each character had his or her issues to deal with. Not to be missed."
Storyline and Cast
The drama follows the Williams family and is set in Oxley, a fictional Yorkshire veterinary surgery. It centres on family patriarch George Williams, played by Keith Barron, along with his two daughters Anna (Gaynor Faye) and Sarah (Nicola Stephenson).
Across its two series, the show featured storylines involving family secrets, paternity revelations, animal medical emergencies and workplace friction. The cast also includes Casualty's Sunetra Sarker and The Odyssey actor Adam Croasdell.
