In for a Penny (game show)

The programme consists of many different segments and games through the series. They include:

• Pump It Up - Stephen greets drivers at a petrol station, where he asks them how much petrol they want to put in their car. If they can pump exactly the correct amount in two tries, Stephen will pay for their petrol.
• Mum's The Word - People are asked to call their mum and describe a word (which changes on each episode) they're not allowed to say the word or three other specified related words, if that happens, they leave with nothing. But if the mum guesses correctly, they win £100.
• Check It Out - In a supermarket, Stephen checks out peoples shopping. All the shoppers have to do is say whether one item of shopping is more or less expensive than the last. If they get all of them right, Stephen will pay their shopping trolley.
• Weigh To Go - Stephen meets members of the public at an airport check in desk, where they have to guess how heavy their suitcase is. If the get it correct, they win £100. If they get it wrong, they have to add or remove items from the suitcase to make it correct. If after three attempts, they still haven't got it right, they walk away with nothing.
• Whatever The Weather - There are five buckets, four filled with water, one with confetti. Each contestant has three chances. If they get the confetti, they win £50.
• Driving Me Round The Bend - Introduced in Series 2, sees people having to reverse into a parking space. If they park without touching the white lines on the ground, they win £100.
• You Are What You Eat - Introduced in Series 2, this segment sees two blindfolded people having to guess what each other are eating. One of the members of the public is fed a piece of food, and they have to describe it to the other person. Each correct answer they get wins them £10.
• Pet Vet - Introduced in Series 3, the players dog must sit and stay on a giant golden coin. Players must then take 5 steps backwards, if the dog stays, they win £100. If the dog moves even one inch, they walk away with nothing.
• In for a Penny, In for a Grand - At the end of each episode, Stephen approaches members of the public shopping on the high street, to take part in a special game show, but only if they have a penny on them. Each contestant takes part in five rounds - four focusing on different challenges, and the final focusing on stopping at a selected number of seconds (i.e. stopping between 9–10 seconds) - and should they complete all five, they win £1000, but if they fail on one, the game ends and the entire production crew run off to find the next contestant, much to Stephen's frustration.
