Think Tank

Bill Turnbull presents a game where three additional contestants battle for a cash prize in each round. Their progress is influenced by the answers of the regular contributors, the Think Tank, who can either help or obstruct them through the answers they provide.

Bill Turnbull takes on the role of presenter in this programme, guiding the action as the central figure on‑screen. His presence anchors the episode, providing the connective thread between the various elements that unfold. The format centres on his interaction with participants and the regular contributors, creating a familiar structure for viewers. The core of the show sees three fresh contestants stepping up to vie for a cash prize. Their progress isn’t determined solely by their own knowledge; they rely heavily on the input from the Think Tank, a standing group of contributors who are part of the regular cast. The Think Tank’s responses can either propel a contestant forward or act as an obstacle, making the competition dynamic and unpredictable. The Think Tank, as a collective of recurring contributors, plays a pivotal role throughout the episode. Their answers are the primary mechanism that can aid or hinder each competitor’s attempt to claim the prize. This interplay between the contestants’ efforts and the Think Tank’s guidance forms the essential tension of the programme, with Bill Turnbull steering the narrative from start to finish.
