The Chase bumped from schedules due to World Cup changes
The Chase fans will be waiting a while for new episodes after today's show airs.
Popular ITV quiz show The Chase has been removed from TV schedules for the rest of the week, in order to make way for coverage of the World Cup.
One episode of The Chase has remained on the schedules this week, with that set to air today (Tuesday 22nd November) at 5pm on ITV1.
After then, the next weekday episode of the Bradley Walsh quiz isn't set to air until Wednesday 30th November.
The Chase isn't the only programme to be affected by the Qatar World Cup, with ITV News at 6 and Emmerdale and Coronation Street all being moved around the schedules.
Meanwhile, on the BBC, the Strictly Come Dancing quarter-finals have been moved from a Saturday to a Friday, after one of the 'Round of 16' World Cup matches has been pencilled in for 7pm (GMT) on Saturday 3rd December.

He said: "Beat the Chasers, perhaps it's the control freak in me, but there's very little we can do about it because the producers get to pick who the Chasers are, what times are being offered, what amounts of money.
"Sometimes you're just going, 'Oh, thanks mate.' It's a handicap game and I get that but suddenly that's a pretty big handicap we've got to try and chase down. The regular Chase, you pretty much know where you are with it."
