Think Tank

Bill Turnbull hosts the show, where three additional contestants battle for a cash prize. The regular cast of contributors, known as the Think Tank, provide answers that can either assist or obstruct them through each round of questioning for the competitors.

Bill Turnbull fronts a light‑hearted competition in which three fresh contestants step onto the stage, each hoping to walk away with a cash prize. The format centres on the host’s interaction with the players and a group of regular contributors, collectively called the Think Tank, whose presence adds an extra layer to the game. The three participants answer a series of questions, but their progress isn’t decided solely by their own knowledge. The Think Tank members supply answers that can either give the contestants a boost or throw a spanner in the works, meaning the players must decide when to rely on that input and when to go it alone. Their success ultimately hinges on navigating this mix of assistance and obstruction while keeping an eye on the prize at stake. Throughout the episode, Turnbull guides the action, introducing each round and reacting to the Think Tank’s contributions. The regular cast of contributors, known simply as the Think Tank, remain a constant fixture, offering their perspectives and influencing outcomes each time they speak. Their role is to shape the flow of the competition, either smoothing the contestants’ path or creating hurdles, which keeps the tension alive until the final cash prize is awarded.
