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 representing a different answer, and hope their selection will trigger the jackpot in a fast‑paced format.

Ben Shephard fronts an arcade‑styled quiz programme that blends classic game‑hall flair with a competitive format. The show is built around a single, easily recognisable premise: participants are invited to test their luck and timing under his guidance, while the studio atmosphere echoes the bright, noisy world of an arcade. The core of the game sees each contestant handling a small token and choosing one of four separate chutes to release it down. Once the token is dropped, it travels the selected pathway, and the outcome hinges entirely on where it finally lands. Success is measured by whether the token ends up in the winning slot, which would award the player a £10,000 jackpot. Ben Shephard’s role is to keep the action moving, explaining the rules and encouraging the players as they make their selections. His presence adds a familiar, upbeat tone that matches the lively setting, ensuring the audience can follow each drop and feel the tension as the token descends. The ultimate aim for every contestant is simple yet compelling: navigate the four‑chute choice and hope their token lands in the right spot, unlocking the £10,000 prize. The show’s straightforward mechanic, combined with the promise of a substantial cash reward, creates a clear, repeatable format that centres entirely on the token‑dropping challenge.
