Tipping Point

Ben Shephard presents an arcade‑styled quiz that blends a traditional question round with a token‑dropping element, where contestants release tokens into one of four chutes in the hope of winning a £10,000 jackpot. Each token’s path determines whether the player secures the top prize.

Ben Shephard fronts an arcade‑styled quiz show that blends classic game‑hall flair with a competitive question format. The programme leans heavily into the nostalgic feel of an arcade, positioning Shephard as the charismatic guide who steers participants through each round. The core of the game centres on contestants choosing one of four separate chutes and then letting a token tumble down the selected passage.

Success in the chute‑dropping challenge rewards the contestant with a cash prize of £10,000. The allure of that ten‑thousand‑pound jackpot underpins the excitement, as participants aim to convert a single token drop into a substantial win. Throughout the show, the combination of Shephard’s hosting and the arcade‑themed token drop creates a straightforward but engaging contest.
