Tipping Point

Ben Shephard presents an arcade‑styled quiz show where participants aim for a £10,000 prize. Contestants drop tokens into one of four chutes, each offering a different chance of success. The game’s simple premise revolves around choosing the right chute to claim the jackpot.

The show is an arcade‑styled quiz presented by Ben Shephard. It’s built around a game‑show format that leans heavily into the feel of a classic arcade, with a bright set and a focus on quick, tactile play. In each episode, participants are given tokens which they must release down one of four separate chutes. The choice of chute is theirs, and the drop determines whether they’ll walk away with the prize on offer. The central goal for the contestants is to land their token in the winning chute and claim the £10,000 jackpot. The tension comes from the simple yet unpredictable nature of the token’s path, turning a straightforward arcade mechanic into a high‑stakes quiz moment. Ben Shephard guides the action, introducing the token‑dropping challenge and keeping the pace lively as each player hopes their chosen chute will deliver the big win. The combination of a familiar arcade aesthetic and the lure of a ten‑thousand‑pound prize makes the programme a distinctive entry in the quiz‑show genre.
