Family Fortunes first appeared on UK TV in 1980. It was based on the US games show called Family Feud but the name was changed to the more family friendly name of Family Fortunes. The first episode of Family Fortunes appeared on 6 January 1980 on ITV. Family Fortunes was broadcast until the year 2002 by which time it had been moved to a daytime TV slot. It was then revived on prime time television and on a Saturday night with a new host and featuring celebrities and their families.
The first producers of Family Fortunes were the television company ATV. It was then produced by Central, Carlton and more recently by talkbackTHAMES.
Theme Tune For Family Fortunes
The theme tune for Family Fortunes was composed by Musical Director Mike Alexander. Snake Davis played the saxophone solo.
Presenters of Family Fortunes
There have been several presenters of Family Fortunes and these include the actor and comic Bob Monkhouse who was the first UK presenter of Family Fortunes from 1980 through to 1983. The entertainer and singer Max Bygraves then became the second presenter of Family Fortunes from 1983 to 1985.
There were no new episodes of Family Fortunes in 1986 and in June 1987 it returned to television with a new host. This was the comedian and impressionist Les Dennis who became the longest running presenter of Family Fortunes until 2002. By this time Family Fortunes had been moved to a day time slot and the new presenter of Family Fortunes became Andy Collins. He was a former soldier and the youngest to serve in the First Gulf War and then became a television presenter. Sadly the game show was axed.
Ant and Dec presented Family Fortunes briefly in 2005 as part of their Gameshow Marathon. This was in the finale and celebrated the 50 years broadcasting of ITV. The finalists were Carol Voderman and Vernon Kaye. Carol Voderman won though Vernon Kaye continued his association with Family Fortunes on 28 October 2006.
All Star Family Fortunes

As the new name suggests All Star Family Fortunes is a star, celebrity and famous people gameshow. Each week two famous people and their families compete against each other for the prize fund. In another popular twist the cash prizes are donated to a charity of choice of the stars.

How To Play Family Fortunes
Though Family Fortunes has been broadcast for over 27 years the rules, style and how to play the game show Family Fortunes has not changed much. There are still two families each with five members. These typically consist of husband, wife, brother, sister, mum, dad, grandfather or grandmother.
Each question at Family Fortunes has been set to 100 people to gain a wide range of answers. This led to the catchphrase 100 people were surveyed and we asked 100 people to name...
To gain possession of the set of questions each family member would face the other team's representative and have to hit the buzzer first and then give an answer. The other team family member then answers and the person who gets the highest number of points takes possession of the board to play Family Fortunes or if they think it is a difficult subject then they can pass. Most families choose to play.
Each family member then has to guess the answers that the member of the public said to each question. If an answer is given that is not on the board then the family receive a strike with a big negative sound effect of an oh oh and a large X is placed on their side of the board. If three Xs are scored against the team then the other side take possession of the board, which is called The Steal, and only need answer one question correctly to win the points. Each X strike is counted down as two lives left and then one life left. Though if they get the steal question wrong the other family take back the points. During the steal the families are permitted to confer. Vernon Kaye first asks each family member for an answer before the celebrity gets to discuss and decide on the best answer.
The points are then converted into pounds.
After these rounds there is an advert break and following this the Family Fortunes teams play for double money, ie double points.
The third and final round goes to the team with the most points and pounds. In the earlier episodes of Family Fortunes this round went to the team who reached £300 first. This is called the Big Money round. Two members of the family are chosen to represent the team. One goes into a sound proof room whilst the other takes turn to answer. One more 100 people were questioned and the family member has to correctly give the answers within 15 seconds. This is a fast nerve racking round and can give some really daft questions. For example in the 1980s a contestant called Bob Johnson replied Turkey to the first three questions which included Name an item you would take to the beach! He faired better in the third question which was Name a food often stuffed? Family Fortune legend and myth has it that Bob's headphones were not correctly placed and he heard the answer chicken and thought by answering turkey his family fared a better chance of winning. This story appeared on the Channel 4 documentary Our Survey Said where the family was interviewed.
Bob Monkhouse did not escape daft answers in Family Fortunes when the Thicke family mother was asked Name something Blue? she replied My Cardagon!
In another episode of Family Fortune one contestant gave the answer Naomi Campbell to the question Name a bird with a long neck!
The best howler during the Big Money Final was made by TV personality Brian Dowling during All Star Family Fortunes. Brian Dowling was asked to name a type of bean and replied Lesbian! The laughter at this gaff was huge in the audience and the host Vernon Kaye could hardly contain himself. Poor Brian Dowling and his quiz partner Kris looked mortified at his daft answer. The computer screen politely inserted his answer as Les Bean!
The second family member gets an extra five seconds because they may have to give an alternative answer if their answer has already been given.
Together they must reach 200 points to get the big cash prize. Les Dennis introduced an additional bonus feature in 1994 where the family would get a bonus prize if all top answers were given by the two contestants. Early episodes of Family Fortune saw the big money prize as being £1000 though when gameshow prize limits were relaxed in 1996 the big money jackpot rose to £5000, though a car was the bonus star prize at family Fortunes from 1994 to 1997. The next year contestants could choose between a car or a holiday so that all family members could enjoy the prize. All Star Family Fortunes saw these figures rise to £10,000 and a top prize of £30,000 if all top answers were given. These thousands of pounds are donated to the chosen charity of the families.
