The show is a competition between two families made up of five contestants each. The object of the game is to find the top answers for a question which was asked where a 100 people were surveyed. ...  Read the complete review

The fact that this programme has run on and on for years is ample testament to its durability and resonance with the British public. Surviving a number of presenters over the years, Family Fortunes was initially opened for business in 1980, with the late and inimitable Bob Monkouse playing our ever - affable host. Since then, the show has seen a ...  Read the complete review

This was one show that I used to watch religiously as a child - and looking back I have absolutely no idea why! When they brought back the celbrity version with vernon Kay I did watch it but I got a bit bored with the celebrities they had on - I know it was all for charity but the spot prizes they now seem to win seemed a bit odd - most ...  Read the complete review

One of the main reasons I used to have to watch this family based quiz show is that it was hosted by the super dishy Vernon Kay who is great looking and with his cute northern accent and twinkle in his eyes it managed to keep my interest in what was in reality a rather pedestran game show. There have been other hosts over the years and perhaps the ...  Read the complete review

Family Fortunes has had quite a variety of hosts over the years and my favourite by far was always Les Dennis. It was shown on Saturday nights on ITV1 (of course it was just ITV back then!) and repeats are still available now at quiet times or on Challenge TV or similar channels. There was also a recent remake which was being hosted by Vernon ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to Saturday night TV, Family Fortunes has got to be one of the classics! For most of it's run, the programme was presented by Les Dennis, though it has also been presented by such names as Bob Monkhouse, Max Bygraves, Andy Collins and Vernon Kay. Personally, Les will always be the presenter that I will identify the ...  Read the complete review

Family Fortunes is a great game show which used to be hosted by lew dennis, back then it features normal people and their familys which was great to watch and les was a bit of a character him self. I wasn't too sure what to expect when it was announced that it was coming back, and this time with a new host Vernon Kay however he took to ...  Read the complete review

WHAT IS IT ABOUT: Two families battle it out against each other on this opinion based game-show. All of the questions require contestants to guess the answers given from the public on a range of questions; for example, one member of each team may be asked 'we asked 100 people to name something green'. The contestant to give the first correct ...  Read the complete review

Firstly I must apologise if you are expecting to read a review about the television programme - this is actually a review of the PC Game Family Fortunes which is based on the popular television programme - unfortunately there isn't a category for this yet so I have placed it here as I imagine that the people who are interested in the ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Great for everyone and always has at least one person giving a stupid answer - Advantages: Contestants giving stupid answers - Disadvantages: not on enough

I've never fancied going on Family Fortunes. It's not that I don't like the show - because I do - it's just that I don't fancy making a complete fool of myself like most of the families who actually go on the show. You just wonder if you need to show signs of insanity to make it through the auditions. The show is ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

So we have Les Dennis who hosts the show, poor old Les who is married to Amanda Holden. I know she is a great looking girl but I seen her ...  Read the complete review

Who are these 100 people they survey every week? What world do they inhabit? Probably the same one most of the families do and, I'll give you a clue, it's not in our galaxy. If you don't know the format of Family Fortunes then let me explain. Two families with the average IQ of a small houseplant are given name badges (so they ...  Read the complete review

What a super concept of a game show !! and one that is different every time you watch it. THE BASIC IDEA OF THE SHOW There are two teams of family members - (each team consists of 5 members of one family). In turn each family member is called to the stand to try and guess correctly the top answer to a selected question. (The ...  Read the complete review
