Tipping Point is a British quiz show that has aired on ITV since 2 July 2012. The show also airs repeats on U&W, which is owned by the UKTV network, and Really, which is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. The programme is presented by Ben Shephard and features three players (four players in Series 1–11) answering questions on the subject of general knowledge in order to win counters, which they use on a large coin pusher arcade-style machine, that represent (mainly) cash prizes.[2][3] The machine was hand built by Lotus Cars mechanics working on the weekend.[citation needed]
