Tipping Point

Ben Shephard hosts an arcade‑themed quiz where contestants drop tokens down a choice of four chutes, each hoping to guide their token to the winning lane during the show. Success means landing the token and walking away with a £10,000 jackpot for the contestant.

Ben Shephard front‑runs an arcade‑styled quiz show, presenting a format that blends classic game‑arcade aesthetics with a competitive quiz element. The programme centres on a single, visually recognisable set where the action unfolds, and Shephard guides participants through each stage of the game. The core of the show sees contestants faced with four separate chutes. Each player must decide which chute to use and then release a token down the chosen lane. The decision‑making process is straightforward: drop the token and hope it lands in the winning position. Success in this simple mechanic determines whether the participant walks away with the prize on offer. The ultimate reward for a successful token drop is a cash jackpot of £10,000. The prize sits at the heart of the game’s appeal, giving each contestant a clear objective as they navigate the four‑chute choice. Throughout the episode, Ben Shephard provides commentary and keeps the pace moving, ensuring the focus remains on the token‑dropping challenge and the possibility of securing the ten‑thousand‑pound prize.
