Tipping Point

...just how little English contestants know about the history of their own country. Program after program their lack of knowledge is astounding. Example, King Canute came to the throne in 1018..was her from Russia, Spain or Denmark. She thought it sounded Spanish but guessed the correct answer, Denmark. An embarrassment to the state of general knowledge in the UK...BTW...I'm Australian

I like the programme, it's actually good entertainment and one can learn, join in and see the questions it is for the folks watching on tv ( unlike Pointless which as as its name suggests Pointless. Not a show for the home audience as the questions are not on the screen long enough and the hosts take up too much time talking to each other taking the limelight from the contestants ) Ben Shepherd is an excellent host and seems a nice guy my only grumble is he repeats the questions that the contestants have alreasy answered correctly there is no need for that seems a bit of time wasting and finishes a question which he started but ran out of time. The loosing contestants should take home what they manage to win or do they anyway? I'm not sure! Maybe they should start off playing for points then switch to pounds. PLEASE STOP REPEATING THE QUESTION even the ones contestants have got right it's annoying time wasting and feels like your just being PEDANTIC, PATRONISING AND SARCASTIC to the players when they don't do well answering the questions. As for the new format my theory is it's so they can fit more adverts in the programme! Btw 24 May 24 contestant Patsy was enchanting ♥ her!

I like the bit where the coin displaces other coins which in turn push other coins into the trough.

Hi Ben TIPPING POINT is my absolute favourite show and if I'm home, NOTHING makes me miss it.

I LOOOOOVE the show and you are a presenter of note!

Sadly, I have noticed that the show is rigged. Why do I say that? Well, I am totally convinced that you guys spin the tokens to your liking. I tried to do everything I can to convince myself that it is not true, but unfortunately there is to much evidence to the contrary. The last one being a token that was dropped down DROPZONE 2. It hit the bottom and spun to the left so hard, that it hit the wall and bounced back more than half way, simply just to roll (or should I say spin, because it was fast) all the way way back left to the wall again. Something, because of the law of physics, is absolutely impossible, unless it has been spun viciously.

You will very likely deny this. However I would ask you not to. If I am wrong, then put lines or dots or whatever you wish on the tokens and prove to us that I'm wrong.

I wish I never had to write this, but I believe it is necessary, Kindly Daniel.

P. S. Doing the spinning of the counters only takes place once the JACKPOT COUNTER is included. If it is left, you spin the tokens right and vica versa.

Which puts more proof to what I'm saying, because in the earlier rounds you do not do so. The counters are all over the drop zones - left, right and middle.

Are Tipping Point questions too easy or is it meant for primary school children's viewing? A typical question and answer may be as follows- Ben - "What fruit is orangey flavoured, orange in colour and has a chocolate version made by Terry's?" Contestant - "Is it a Cadbury Cream Egg?"

Maybe not but comes close.
