Think Tank

Bill Turnbull presents a game where three new contestants battle for a cash prize. Their progress is influenced by the responses given by the regular contributors, the Think Tank, which can either help or impede them through their advice during the competition.

Bill Turnbull front‑loads the show, acting as the presenter who guides the action while three fresh contestants step up to vie for a cash reward. The programme centres on this competition, with the added twist that the participants’ fortunes are swayed by a regular group of contributors called the Think Tank. The three contenders each try to out‑perform the others, aiming to secure the prize money. Their progress isn’t decided solely by their own answers; instead, they rely on the input from the Think Tank, whose responses can either boost a contestant’s chances or create extra obstacles. The Think Tank itself is a standing panel of contributors who regularly appear on the show. Their role is to supply answers that directly influence the game, acting as a sort of collective advisor whose help or hindrance can tip the scales at any moment. Throughout the episode, Bill Turnbull keeps the pace moving, introducing each round and reacting to the Think Tank’s impact on the contestants. The interplay between the host, the three players, and the Think Tank creates a dynamic where knowledge, strategy and a bit of luck determine who walks away with the cash prize.
