Tipping Point

Ben Shephard presents an arcade‑style quiz show where participants aim for a £10,000 jackpot. Each contestant drops a token down one of four chutes, hoping the token lands in the winning lane to secure the prize. The format combines trivia with a physical token drop, adding a chance element to the competition.

The programme is an arcade‑themed quiz presented by Ben Shephard. It blends the feel of a classic arcade with a traditional quiz format, offering viewers a lively mix of competition and nostalgia. Shephard takes on the role of host, guiding participants through each round of the game. In each episode, contestants are given the chance to drop tokens down one of four separate chutes. Their goal is simple: navigate the token through the chosen chute and hope it lands in the winning slot. Success in this token‑dropping challenge can secure the £10,000 jackpot on offer. The show’s structure revolves around that single mechanic – the token drop – which is presented with an arcade‑style aesthetic. The four chutes each provide a distinct path, and the participants must decide which one gives them the best chance of reaching the prize. The tension builds as each token descends, with the host commenting throughout. If a token reaches the designated winning position, the contestant walks away with the full £10,000 prize. The format keeps the focus on the simple yet exciting act of choosing a chute and watching the token’s journey. Ben Shephard’s hosting ties the whole experience together, maintaining the arcade atmosphere from start to finish.
