The Chase stars are appearing in their own show The Chaser's Road Trip: Trains, Brains and Automobiles and a preview clip shows more of the quizzing champs than we have ever seen before.

The spin off three-part series follows Anne Hegerty, 62, Mark Labbett, 55, and Shaun Wallace, 60, as they travel the world and discover whether a high IQ means they can handle the real world.

On this intellectual journey like no other, our cerebral celebrities question if we underestimate animal intelligence by exploring the brightest sparks in the animal kingdom.

They journey to America to pit their wits against Kanzi, a Bonobo ape who is able to communicate with humans by using a series of pictures and symbols on a Lexigram, and in addition to this is also thought to be one of the first Apes to show an understanding of spoken English.

They also meet a chimpanzee memory wizard, a 25 year old gamer orang-utan called Katie and that well-known genius of the ocean, the dolphin.

"And, using their hearts as well as their heads, they will confront the moral challenge: that if humanity fully understood animal intelligence, would we treat them differently?

And two brand new teaser clips show the Chasers clad in swimwear with Shaun "The Dark Destyroyer" donning speedos and Anne "The Governess" in a bikini.

Mark "The Beast" emerges from the sea in a style reminiscent of Daniel Craig's James Bond, while Anne cheekily remarks that she is enjoying the view from her balcony.

And Shaun shows off his surprising tattoos on his arms as he works out on the beach in his budge-smugglers.

The trio of quizzing geniuses then head into their jeep with Mark in the driver's seat.

In the second clip, the Chasers head into the water and swim with some dolphins while they discuss their various levels of swimming abilities.

They all then took part in some behavioural challenges as Shaun and Mark were blindfolded in their goggles and had to replicate the sound Anne was making by clapping.

Shaun said: "It was strange swimming around blindfolded, but it was really to see whether I can use my sense of hearing and my sense of direction even though I couldn't tell where I was."
