FAMILY FORTUNES

NEW SUNDAY / ITV / 8PM / ENTERTAINMENT

Our survey says that Family Fortunes is one of our all-time favourite game shows.

It was hosted by Bob Monkhouse and Max Bygraves in the early 1980s before Les Dennis took the helm from 1987 to 2001. Viewers couldn’t get enough of the hilarious answers as two families went head-to-head to guess popular replies to survey-based questions posed to 100 people.

In more recent years, fans have been able to enjoy a celebrity version, All Star Family Fortunes, hosted by Vernon Kay. But now it’s the public’s turn again, as Italian chef and all-round TV favourite Gino D’Acampo takes over presenting duties.

Promising to be ‘unapologetic and unfiltered’, Gino will guide two families through a series of rounds as they play for the chance to win the top cash prize in the famous ‘Big Money’ finale.
