Tipping Point

Ben Shephard presents an arcade‑style quiz show where participants aim for a £10,000 prize. Contestants drop tokens into one of four coloured chutes, each offering a chance to claim the jackpot if the token lands in the winning lane in the game.

Ben Shephard fronts an arcade‑styled quiz show, presenting a format that leans heavily on the feel of classic coin‑pusher games. The programme is built around a single, recognisable mechanic that gives it a nostalgic edge while keeping the action fresh. As the host, Shephard guides participants through each round, setting the tone and keeping the pace lively. The heart of the game lies in a simple yet tense challenge: contestants are given tokens and must decide which of four separate chutes to release them down. Each chute offers a different possibility, and the decision rests entirely on the player’s instinct and strategy. By dropping a token, they hope the mechanism will work in their favour, moving them one step closer to the ultimate reward. Success is measured by the size of the prize on offer – a £10,000 jackpot that awaits the lucky participant who manages to navigate the chutes correctly. The combination of Shephard’s hosting, the arcade‑themed setting, and the clear goal of a ten‑thousand‑pound win creates a concise, focused experience that centres on the thrill of each token’s descent.
