ITV - Family Fortunes

We asked 100 people to say if they watched ‘Family Fortunes’. Our survey said ‘NI-NURR! Described as Les Dennis’s flagship vehicle (and I’m thinking milk float rather than racing car), Family Fortunes has been with us longer than Phillip Schofield been dying his hair. It epitomised the dullard factor of the 80’s, which carried over disturbingly to the 90’s. The show consists of two families, usually from places where the accents are thicker than the people themselves. There are 5 members on each. There is the ‘zany, but sensible’ captain ... more

Family Fortunes is a game show currently hosted by Les Dennis although he is leaving now!! They are moving the show to early afternoons and Les has decided he doesn’t want to work then, perhaps it’s too early for him. You get two teams, each team is made up of one family (six people I think!) and the team is called by the surname of the family, ‘the smith family Versus the jones family’. A member of each family goes up to answer a question, whoever gets the highest answer gets to choose whether they want to play on this question or pass it to the other family. Each ... more

We have a TV in the kitchen and the others I live with think it’s a crime ever to be in there and not have it on, so as a result I get to see quite a bit of, ahem, quality daytime and early evening television while I’m cooking and eating. We go through phases – first it was that Neighbours had to be on, then that the News was more important and so on.

As game shows go, it’s not all that bad ... more

So we have Les Dennis who hosts the show, poor old Les who is married to Amanda Holden.

Now to get on Family Fortunes you need to have a ... more

Family Fortunes has been running for a number of years now. Presented by the comical Les Dennis, it could leave the lucky family walking away with £5,000 and a car! There are 2 families, both consisting of 5 members. In the first half of the show, each member of the family will take it in turns to face each other next to Les. He will ask them a quesion. 100 people have been surveyed, and he wants the top 3, 4, 5 or 6 answers. Like, name a green vegetable. The one who gives the top answer, or higher than what the other contestant gives, has a choice to either play that game, or pass it over to ... more
