About this deal

An entire game includes a total of five rounds. The first three rounds are for single points and the last two are for double points, where the host simply doubles the points indicated on the card before writing them on the board. Bonus Points: The computer which runs the electronic board is called Mr. Babbage named after Charles Babbage, the inventor of the first programmable computer. Les Dennis): "If that answer's there, I'll give you the money meself" (On a few rare occasions, when the answers were particularly daft, Les would take it one step further and say "If it's up there, I'll give you the car meself!") In the closing moments of one end-of-series episode from the late 1990s, Les and the winning family were waving at the camera when Mr. Babbage repeatedly sounded the wrong answer noise whilst flashing the words 'Les Dennis Tonight…'. An understandably confused Les looked round (whilst continuing to wave!) only for Michael Aspel to emerge from the side of the set to explain that the full, uncut sentence was 'Les Dennis, tonight This Is Your Life'. Under the sound of the applause, Les could be just about heard to say 'I'd better not open that, had I?' to which Aspel laughed, 'That's the empty one!' You're giving away trade secrets, man!

The team with the lowest total score after the first five rounds will select two of their members to play the first big points round. Bob Monkhouse on the other hand saved over 80 episodes in his private collection of video cassettes he recorded off-air. Family Fortunes is a British television game show based on the American game show Family Feud. The programme ran on ITV from 6 January 1980 to 30 December 2002. A celebrity version, All Star Family Fortunes, followed from 2006 to 2015. In 2020, the original version of the show returned after 18 years with Gino D'Acampo as host. [3]By an unfortunate coincidence, the episode broadcast on 21 May 2023 had a question that asked "Name somebody who regularly appears on the TV show This Morning", this edition aired a mere 24 hours after Phillip Schofield announced he was leaving the show, although in fairness, it was the last episode to air from the second series of 20 episodes recorded in 2021, they were starting the second series of Sitting on a Fortune the following week, and there were no other episodes on the shelf. From 1994 onwards, a bonus star prize was available for naming all five "top" (most popular) answers and scoring 200 points. Monkhouse was responsible for changing the name of the show to Family Fortunes as he felt that "feud" sounded too aggressive. [4] Hosts and presentation [ edit ] Twenty-four episodes were recorded for Series 21, but ITV only aired the first ten episodes within the schedule. The remaining fourteen episodes were not transmitted until Challenge started broadcasting this series, although they did eventually air on ITV during the 2004 Christmas season. The same questions are then given to the second player, who has 60 seconds to give their answers. The host presses the '60 second' button, again after the first question has been read out. These answers are written on the other side of the board. If any answer is repeated, the host will say "try again" and the player must give an alternative answer. When the 60 seconds are up, the host will go through the second player's answers in the same way.

Carlton in association with Pearson Television for ITV, 25 September 1999 to 30 December 2004 (130 episodes in 4 series + 14 unaired)One player is selected to be the host. Divide the remaining players into two teams of equal numbers. If this is an odd number one team will have an extra player. Set up the board with the front side facing the two teams. Remove battery tab from electronic unit. Play: However, we do wonder rather whether they perhaps ought to have waited to produce the series; one lesson which definitely should have been learnt from Andy Collins' version is that you need a full audience to squeal in case of ridiculous answers. An audience of 50 in an auditorium of 350 is just too quiet, and canned laughter was clearly applied a little too liberally (as evidenced by Gino ignoring one round of applause, since he clearly didn't hear it).
