Posted June 5, 20205 yr Great news. My fave quiz show ever. From The Sun. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/11777...obox=1591216638 "ICONIC game show Family Fortunes is making a comeback after 18 years off air. The regular version of the much-loved show, which features members of the public rather than celebrities, hasn’t aired since 2002 when Les Dennis was host. But after being rested for nearly two decades, it will return to ITV later this year with Gino D’Acampo at the helm. The Italian chef, 43, has been chosen as the ideal candidate to fill the shoes of original presenter Bob Monkhouse, and his successors Max Bygraves and Coronation Street actor Les. The show, which sees two families providing answers to everyday questions surveyed to the British public, ran for more than 20 series before it was taken off TV. The programme, famous for its ‘Our survey said’ catchphrase, will now return in primetime later this year, filmed in a studio."
June 5, 20205 yr What's with all the classic game shows coming back :blink: Alan Carr is presenting a mix bag of them on Saturday evenings with The Price Is Right, Play Your Cards Right, Bullseye etc etc. They probably get picked up for revival next.
June 5, 20205 yr Surely its not been 18 years since Vernon Kay hosted it?? 18 years since the regular version, rather than All Star Family Fortunes. (though the article is still wrong as Andy Collins was the last host!)
June 5, 20205 yr 18 years since the regular version, rather than All Star Family Fortunes. (though the article is still wrong as Andy Collins was the last host!) Presented by: Bob Monkhouse (1980–1983), Max Bygraves (1983–1985), Les Dennis (1987–2002), Andy Collins (2002) :D
June 7, 20205 yr We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name presenters of Family Fortunes and Andy Collins was a Pointless answer :P
June 7, 20205 yr Author We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name presenters of Family Fortunes and Andy Collins was a Pointless answer :P Top answer, despite not being the first host was Les Dennis. :D
September 21, 20204 yr It's good to see Family Fortunes back but I didn't think Gino fit as the host. He felt quite out of place.
September 21, 20204 yr Are they getting more time on this final round? I swear the first person used to get 15 seconds and then the 2nd got 20 seconds in case of duplicate answers. This time it’s 20 & 25 respectively
September 21, 20204 yr Author The daughters who won were wearing very little. I never noticed tbh. ;) :D Edited September 21, 20204 yr by Crazy Chris

September 22, 20204 yr Why Gino is presenting it I don’t know he is a chef not a presenter and it shows.
