HISTORICAL FACTS: Tipping point fans outraged at contestant s classic sci fi blunder | History Defined

Tipping Point fans were outraged when a contestant made a shocking sci-fi blunder during tonight's episode of the ITV quiz show. The contestants were in the second round and answering quick-fire questions to build up their pot of counters.

During her round of questions, Jill, a cookery teacher from Newcastle, was asked "Which Star Trek character was played by Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto?". She answered with "Doctor Spock", which didn't go unnoticed by eager-eared fans.

Jill eventually made it through to the final round where she took home the £10,000 jackpot. With mystery prizes of a slushie machine and a hotel break, she said she'd look forward to a good shopping spree with her winnings.
