Think Tank

Bill Turnbull presents the programme as three further contestants vie for a cash prize, with their success shaped by the answers given by the regular contributors, known as the Think Tank. The Think Tank can either help or hinder them through their input.

Bill Turnbull fronts a television programme in which he guides the action and interacts with the participants. The show is presented as a light‑hearted contest, with Turnbull acting as the central figure who introduces each segment and keeps the pace moving. In each episode three new challengers take part, all aiming to walk away with a cash reward. They answer a series of questions or complete tasks, and their progress is measured against the ultimate goal of securing the prize money. A distinctive feature of the format is the involvement of the regular contributors, collectively known as the Think Tank. Their responses to the contestants’ attempts can either give a boost or create an obstacle, meaning the players must navigate both the main challenge and the input from this group. The interaction between the three competitors, Turnbull’s hosting, and the Think Tank’s influence forms the core of the programme’s appeal. It’s a straightforward competition where success hinges not just on the contestants’ own abilities, but also on how the Think Tank’s answers shape the outcome.
