29 - Family Fortunes

This next game show I remember from my childhood.  I always used to love this show mainly because the premise revolved around those infamous words "we surveyed 100 people and asked..." and the line "our survey said..." - two phrases that were perhaps repeated the most throughout the series.  I loved this style of Quiz as the answers weren't necessarily right or wrong, just what people were most likely to have said.  Of course the competing families would have to guess correctly or hear that now infamous buzzer.

The show was based on the American show Family Feud.  In the Family Fortunes incarnation two families would compete, "control" of the board would be determined by a quickest answer round which pit one member from each family against one another.  The families competed for a cash prize although there were bonus prizes along the way which were won for revealing top answers etc during the game.  The current UK presenter for Family Fortunes is the marvellous Mr Vernon Kay but I will always associate Les Dennis the host I first saw present the show.
