Can't say I found the ending
unpredictable or surprising...
Nonetheless my heart was touched
by their self-sacrificing

I'm Mark Labbett, ' The Beast '.
I love a mighty feast.
I feed on fear
And then I cheer,
" With me, the show's complete! "
I'm ' The Governess ' Anne Hegerty.
A.K.A. " Old Knickers a Frosty ".
I'll watch you wriggle and squirm
While you recall what you've learned...
Let's see who can escape from me!
I'm Jenny, ' The Vixen ' Ryan,
Don't like to send contestants cryin'.
I'm the Bolton lass
Who brings some class
To The Chase. And I'm not lyin'!
I'm Irish. I'm clever. I'm kind.
But beware, I can play with your mind.
My name's Darragh Ennis,
Pet name's ' The Menace '
Never dreamt I'd be known UK wide.
I'm a doctor, comedian and smart.
I fulfill my roles like an art.
But ' The Sinnerman's ' face
Is quiz genius on The Chase.
To pick my best moments, where to start?
Never underestimate a lawyer...
I'm also ' The Dark Destroyer '
I'll make your heads spin
With my glorious win
And this will really annoy ya!
My dear contestants, you are strong.
Don't want to see you put a foot wrong!
If you're on your knees
I'll put you at ease...
I am with you - " All day long "

There once was a poodle named Bradley,
And he liked to eat shoes very gladly,
How much footwear he'd destroy,
"Bradley! Shoes are not a toy!"
No other dog in this world acts so badly.

Mama Mable made music mellow with mood
But baby boy Bradley bellowed and booed
So sensitively she started singing sweetly
Yet the youngster yowled yearningly
Poor perplexed papa peered and pleaded
“No nocturnal nuisances are needed,”
He hurried through the house, his hefty frame hobbled
Baby boy Bradley basked blissfully with his bedtime bottle
