- TriviaBob Monkhouse was the one that suggested that the show should be called "Family Fortunes", as he felt that the American title "Family Feud" was too aggressive.
- Quotes
Les Dennis: Name a way of toasting someone.
Contestant: [buzzing in] Over a fire?
[audience laughter]
Les Dennis: If that answer's there, I'll give you the money myself! Over a fire?
[revealed as the 5th most popular answer - grill]
Les Dennis: [in surprise] Oh, no!
[more audience laughter]
Les Dennis: [still in shock] I owe you £12! That's the first time it's ever happened!
- Crazy creditsAfter the closing credits of the 1990 Christmas special, Les Dennis is seen riding on a magic carpet with a genie. Les asks the genie where they will be going for Christmas and the genie replies "What do you mean we?" The genie rubs the magic lamp and Les is sucked into the magic lamp.

Featured review
A solid structure. 2 families, each containing five contestants guess the most popular items in a list for a question such as "Something you might find in the garden". There are Single/Double Money rounds, then the winning team goes on to play Big Money, with the captain and a selected teammate attempting to guess all the top answers from 5 questions.
Family Fortunes has always been good for a laugh in my eyes. It always keeps you entertained, with it's lively atmosphere, colourful studio and family anecdotes. Not forgetting, of course, the ridiculous answers they give for some questions! (e.g. Name something that comes in pairs... "Rabbits") The Les Dennis episodes were top class, he was its best presenter by a mile. Andy Collins couldn't hold a candle to him, though. It's newest incarnation, featuring Vernon Kay, isn't too bad so far, but they should make a version with normal contestants soon rather than celebrity editions, which actually weren't too bad. Long may this show appear on our screens, I say.
