Talk:Family Fortunes

"Feud" too confrontational
That story was related by Les Dennis on one of the "Family Misfortunes" blooper specials. I didn't know how to stick that into the opening sentence smoothly (I thought it would make it sound like Les was the principal host), but perhaps in a future rewrite someone else will find a better spot for it.

Return
But what date (in September), will it return? James Forde 22:24, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Just found out the day of return according to http://www.radiotimes.com/ListingsServlet?event=3&jspLocation=%2Fjsp%2Ftv_listings_list.jsp&jspError=%2Fjsp%2Ferror.jsp&channels=26&searchString=Family+Fortunes&x=64&y=8 Saturday 28th October

No mention of "The Turkey Man" ?
When Max Bygraves was the host, one contestant in the final apparently got tongue-tied and confused and answered: "Turkey" to every question. When talking about that event in a later interview, Max Bygraves stated that the cost of making an episode was around £50,000.

Doctor Who
I wonder if it is worth writing about how this show is currently winning in it's time slot beating competition from Doctor Who in terms of ratings? yettie0711 (talk) 20:06, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

The sound of the buzzer
I keep seeing the buzzer's sound represented in writing as "uh-uh". It was even "(ELECTRONIC UH-UH)" in the subtitles of yesterday's episode. And here it's "eh-uh" and then later "uh-uhh".

To my ears, it sounds nothing like "uh-uh". Nor "eh-uh", though that doesn't feel way off in the same way. Indeed, it's more of an "i"-type sound - I guess [ˈɪʔɪ:] is the best IPA representation of the sound I can come up with. But I'm not sure how best to write it onomatopoeically.... — Smjg (talk) 22:45, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Help!
I have updated the Transmissions table, but I have had to comment out a bit of it because it's coming up with an error. What am I doing wrong?-- Laun  chba  ller  09:32, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅ The closing   was behind another named ref. Have a look. Sam Sailor Talk! 10:39, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Surely it would be more useful to have it inside the ref, on the grounds that the ref sources the contents of the note?-- Laun  chba  ller  11:00, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Vernon Kay / Leslie Crowther
Is there a good reason why Vernon Kay isn't mentioned on this page? Didn't he present this show for years? Come to think of it, didn't Leslie Crowther also present this show back in the day? Dybeck (talk) 19:16, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
