Online gambling firm Gala Bingo has today (19 January) launched more than 60 comical idents in celebration of its sponsorship of flagship ITV game show ‘The Chase’.
Featuring the same cast as its previous campaign (The Gala Gang), Gala Bingo’s new ident series will be centred around a fictitious game show called ‘The Answer is Bingo’.
Facing up to The Gala Gang is none other than The Chase stars The Beast (Mark Labbett), The Dark Destroyer (Shaun Wallace) and The Governess (Anne Hegarty).

What seems at first to be a straightforward imitation of a game show descends into farce however, as the contestants realise that the answer to every single question asked is in fact, ‘BINGO!’
“Bingo”, Neverland executive creative director, Noel Hamilton said.
Gala Bingo head of brand and content, Sara Jolly added: “Bingo”.

Absolutely detest your ad supporting The Chaser where you have a supercilious narcissistic know all ‘female’ but I could be wrong, who knows these days, ‘she’ could be gender neutral’ but I really don’t care. What I do care about is you portraying a person who clearly gets to feel good about themselves by making another feel bad. Bad bad bad advert Gala Bingo.
What crap, it’s quite entertaining, 😜
The words chip and shoulder spring to mind
I absolutely love the woman doing this bingo advert, I want her to have her own show!
I agree. Funny
What is her name
She’s brilliant!
Me too Lizzy, I think she’s great 👍
I totally agree, she is so funny….
100%
I don’t find her remotely funny. She’s in a paint ad too,almost identical irritating character.
I love it too. I really like the blond woman asking the questions. Dhe plays the part of real presenter, really well. I cant find what her name is anywhere. When people ask, the chasers are the only people named. Anyone know who she is?
Women with short hair scare you?
Well it’s a free country, and you can always switch it off, but it’s NOT any worse than the PONCE that compares the program
RUDE!
Get a sense humour. So rude.
Jeez it’s a bit of light hearted humour…you do know she’s acting
Please take that awful chase sponsor bingo advert off. I have hated it from the first day. It may be tongue in cheek, but it is like watching paint dry.
Couldnt agree more, it is terrible, I always push the mute button, I hate it, it almost puts me off the chase
So it doesn’t at all u melt
The sponsor advert is amusing and the lady asking the questions is great and in fact she deserves to be the host in her own actual quiz show.
I agree she’s great! I love this advert…
Totally agree Andrew, I want her to have her own show, I’d definitely watch it, I think she’s great x
No she’s not, the advert is HORRIBLE. Can’t get my head round why anybody would support these marketing tw*ts
Please please PLEASE stop showing this hideous and pathetic advert…….
Please remove that awful bingo advert
It’s mind numbingly awful on itv
Please remove this hideous bingo advert from itv
They all seem like aliens in the ad and the humour factor is simply absent
Excellent tongue in cheek humour. Comedic delivery by all actors is first class. Keep it running.
Agree
Chase ad and the lady who asks the questions is BRILLIANT.
I love the woman who does this bingo advert, I hope she gets her own show, I’d watch it for sure!
What’s her name? She now is in a paint advert too.
Agree with all comments that detest this puerile ad.
Especially the anagram one – gobin is actually a work in the OED!
Should be word, apologies.
Any real word can be an anagram. So what is your point? (Anagram of point is pinot)
Get over yourself!!
It’s so painfully awful. It’s like something the contestants on The Apprentice would come up with.
Don’t be such a sour puss ‘Bradley’ 😼
Would like to know who the lady is who does the advert
I think the advert is brilliant,particularly the lady host,who I don’t recognise,what’s her name?The dog on the panel completes the humour.
laura evelyn
What’s the name of the lady who asks the Questions
Laura Evelyn
Who is the Red haired lovely? And does she also appear in Dorset cereals advert?
Awful, awful, awful, take it off
It’s the only quiz I get 100% right 🤣🤣
How much longer do we have to put up this inanity, 6 times an hour? I read somewhere that “the partnership has proved so successful that it has since been extended several times.” Amazing! Please do not extend it again.
The woman who ‘Hosts’ The answer is Bingo! on The Chase – What is her name please?
Her name please
What is it advertising ?!! If it’s Bingo, it portrays players as stupid?!
Mind you, I love it !!
Oh dear. What rubbish this advert is. One question they ask is “what is the only anagram of the word boing” They claim the only answer is bingo. In fact another word is valid, It is Nigbo. This is a language that used to be spoken in a mountainous region between Nigeria and the Congo. It is no longer spoken but is well documented in historic records.
Please, please, please stop showing the boring, infantile ad for bingo before The Chase. It is so ridiculous and I can’t stand it any longer. I’ll start watching Pointless instead!
Off you go then!!
The host is Laura Evelyn, she’s been in Black Mirror, Last Christmas, Good Omens, Agatha Raisin, and even one episode of Doctor Who!
These idents are utterly awful and hugely irritating. I suspect the positive comments must come from the agency that produced them!
And the negative ones from agencies that didn’t.
I hate the bingo ad before the chase. It puts me off watching the chase.
That’s the idea the worse an advert is the more u watch. Reverse psychology.
Absolutely 100% LOVE this advert. Her facial expressions make me laugh. Brilliant advert.
The anagram of business oriented international NGO. IS NOT BINGO. it’s BOINGO
How about, which two word anagram of bingo is where you’d put a piece of cake?
Ans, IN GOB!
First couple of times these adverts were ok, but now they make me want to change chanel.
I think the dog is the best thing in these ads. It should definitely get a Woofta award mefinks!
What is the name of the Redhead called Zoe?
Jo Hart (Jojo)
The one thing that we all seem to be missing is that Bingo is a form of gambling, and they are advertising it in prime viewing time.
Why does anyone not know Zoe, the divine redheads name??….I’ve googled all sorts and found nothing…
Jo Hart – she played the ‘screaming woman’ in Jurassic World 1 along with Toby Jones chased into an elevator
These adverts for bingo have always been ridiculous but the latest are absurd….. I will stop watching The Chase if these continue. The actors must be hard up for money to lower themselves to such a level of stupidity!
I think the only intelligent one is the dog 🐶 !
Stopped watching the Chase due to the dreadful bingo ads
The Gala BINGO ADD – is SUPERB- get a life those of you who run it down- I think the main character is Brilliant and should be on 8 out of 10 cats- she’s a Sarah Pascoe double- and her wee quirky bits – plus her laugh REALLY Make My Day. Keep them coming 😂😂
Such an irritating advert. I detest it
What is the name of girl i
