Describe a television programme that your family likes to watch together

A programme my family loves to watch together is a television quiz show called The Chase. Every evening at around six o'clock, we gather round the TV and watch an episode while my mother is finishing the cooking. It has become a kind of ritual, and if one of us is late, the others pause it and wait.

For those who haven't seen it, it features a group of contestants who answer general knowledge questions to win money, and then try to beat a professional quiz player called the Chaser. There are rounds of fast questions and a final in which the team members must hold on to their prize. Everyone in my family takes part: my father, my mother, my younger brother, my grandmother when she visits, and me. We keep a score of the answers we get right, and the winner gets to choose what we eat on Sunday.

There are several reasons why we all enjoy it. First, the questions cover everything from geography and history to music and sport, so each of us gets a chance to shine. My grandmother is amazing on history, and my brother knows all the answers about video games and football. Second, it's suitable for all ages, so there's nothing that parents need to worry about. Third, it creates a lot of conversation and laughter, because we argue about the answers and cheer the contestants on. Finally, I think it makes us feel closer. In a time when everyone is on their own phone, having a shared half hour is really special.
