ITV’s “Tipping Point” Debuts July 2nd
How about this for a quick turn-around. It was just last Thursday we first heard about ITV’s upcoming game show Tipping Point, and Friday about host Ben Shephard. We’ve now already got a debut date. The new daytime quiz show will bow on Monday, July 2nd, at 5:00PM UK (12:00PM ET). ITV has ordered twenty 60 minute episodes of the game. Each episode sees contestants trying to answer questions in order to play a large coin drop machine. A wrong answer, though, means you could face elimination. The final contestant tries to win the golden jackpot disc to win a large cash prize. If any video or previews pop up we’ll be sure to show you.

Why can’t ABC have a turn-around time this quick for The Last Exit?
I just watched several eps. of that on Youtube and it is undoubtedly everything you could ever want in a game show. Playable,. new format, genuine, quiz-style host, suspense, and yes, pure torture for the person reciting the list. I would love to email ITV and tell them how great both The Chase and The Exit List are.
And yet another reason why the British are better than us.
Well, if you like watching paint dry this is the show for you. No audience enthusiasm required other than watching a few counters drop off the shelves. Might as well go to Southend arcade and play with pennies on the waterfall. Boring, boring, boring. Bring back The Chase.
20 hours of this dross to watch each day before I go to work?? WTF were you thinking ITV, no way will this tripe last 20 shows, bring back Golden Balls!!
What a absolute lot of crap! Tipping point is the most boring ‘game’ show ever!!! Bring back the chase please.
sooooo slow, had to turn off bring back the chase
awful, slowly losing the will to live.
had the misfortune to catch one episode. billed as “nerve jangling”? – don’t make me laugh. What trained (or untrained) monkey came up with this idea. About as cliff hanging as a snail race . . with one snail!!
Who in there right mind gave this the go ahead! They need a reality check!
Five minutes into watching this for the first time, I had to switch it off. It’s the most utterly boring and unecessary gameshow since Red or Black. I would rather watch the same repeated episode of The Chase every day for a month (as long as it was one with Mark Labett) until a new series comes back than ever watch this dross again. Ben Sheperd has as much charm and personality as a box of shredded paper. ITV, please just find an old series of 3-2-1 or something to re-run until the new series of The Chase is ready!
just watched todays game do they not know there are 4 suits and not 5 in a deck of cards
m schofield – I thought I’d misheard the answer when she said 5 suits in a deck of cards and Ben Shephard said her answer was correct!
What a dreadfull game show. I thought I was with my grandchildren in Blackpool. 20 shows of this rubbish. no way I would rather turn my TV off
What a load off rubbish. Bring back The Chase or Golden Balls
they should stroll over to the machine whistling innocently then give it a gentle whack to get the coins to drop. dont hit it too hard though or the alarm will go off and a fat security guard will chase you…. actually that all sounds much more fun than the actual game which is shit
worst. show. ever
Ben Shephard makes me want to stick pins in my eyes.
If I hear ‘ghost drop’ ‘its riding’ or ‘nice and flat’ one more time I will scream.
Bring back The Chase!!!!
