Tipping Point

Ben Shephard presents a game show where participants answer quiz questions to earn spins on a massive arcade‑style coin‑pusher machine. Each correct answer grants a turn, and the contestant who accumulates the most turns then competes for a £10,000 cash jackpot.

Ben Shephard fronts a game‑show format that pits everyday participants against a series of quiz questions. As the presenter, he guides the contestants through each round, keeping the pace lively while the stakes gradually build. The programme is structured around a single, clear premise: answer correctly and you earn a chance to operate a massive, arcade‑style coin‑pusher. The heart of the show lies in the coin‑pusher machine, a towering device that resembles the classic arcade attractions found in amusement halls. Contestants who answer the posed questions correctly are awarded turns on this contraption, giving them the opportunity to drop coins and watch them cascade down the playfield. Each successful answer translates directly into a tangible chance to influence the machine’s outcome, turning knowledge into a physical reward. When a player finally secures the winning position on the coin‑pusher, they move on to the ultimate prize segment. In this final stage, the successful contestant is offered the chance to claim a cash jackpot worth £10,000. The combination of trivia skill and the tactile excitement of the coin‑pusher creates a straightforward yet engaging route to the substantial monetary reward.
