Tipping Point

Ben Shephard hosts an arcade‑themed quiz where contestants compete for a £10,000 jackpot. Each player selects one of four chutes, drops a token down the chosen lane, and hopes it lands in the winning position to claim the prize immediately.

Ben Shephard fronts an arcade‑styled quiz show, presented as a lively game‑show where the atmosphere feels like stepping into a classic amusement hall. The programme leans heavily on the visual of bright chutes and the excitement of a token‑dropping challenge, all under Shephard’s familiar presenting style. The core of the game sees each contestant approached with a simple yet tense task: they must release a token into one of four separate chutes. The choice of chute is theirs, and the token’s journey down the narrow passage determines whether they’ll walk away with the top prize. The entire premise revolves around that single decision and the hope that the token will find the winning path. Success in the quiz is measured by the chance of landing a £10,000 jackpot. If a contestant’s token makes it to the correct chute, they claim the cash reward, turning a casual arcade act into a potentially life‑changing moment. The prize amount remains fixed, offering a clear goal for every participant. Overall, the show blends the nostalgia of arcade machines with the tension of a high‑stakes quiz, all guided by Ben Shephard’s steady hosting. It delivers a straightforward format where dropping a token can mean a substantial payday.
