Tipping Point

Ben Shephard presents a game show in which contestants answer quiz questions to win turns on a large arcade‑style coin‑pusher machine that slides tokens across a glittering platform. The player who gathers the most turns then competes for a £10,000 cash jackpot.

Ben Shephard fronts a lively game‑show format where ordinary people get the chance to test their knowledge and compete for cash. The programme is built around a simple premise: participants answer a series of questions, and each correct answer earns them a chance to operate a massive arcade‑style coin‑pusher. The core of each episode revolves around the quiz segment. Contestants are posed with a variety of questions, and every time they get one right they are awarded a turn on the towering coin‑pusher machine. The device works like a classic arcade attraction – coins are dropped in, and the hope is that they’ll cascade down the ramps and push other coins over the edge. The more turns a player secures, the greater their opportunity to amass a sizable pile of coins. When the game reaches its climax, the contestant who has accumulated the most successful pushes moves on to the final round. In this decisive stage they play for a £10,000 jackpot, with the coin‑pusher still determining whether the prize is claimed. The combination of trivia, tactile arcade action, and a ten‑thousand‑pound reward gives the show its distinctive, interactive feel.
