The beautiful lady in the White from the Powell family is my mum, R. I. P ❤️

R. I. P. to my Uncle too ❤️

Bob Monkhouse was on top form as ever. He had a joke for every situation and they're still funny to this day. He was the best Family Fortunes presenter.

[@Gaming_with_Jacko]

Max was good too started off badly then recovered in the later series’s

[@Parknest]

Im not saying he was bad. He's not a patch on Bob or Les.

[@omarnour348]

Except the Japanese joke - that was just razy lacism *ba da boom tish* I'll get me coat ...

[@staurtsharman2299]

Bob was the Gameshow King Of The World. Impeccable, smartly turned out, stylish... And very funny.

[@staurtsharman2299]

@@Gaming_with_Jacko I agree with you there. He brought a more relaxed, laid back, sincere approach. In patches he hit exactly the right note, and when he did, he could be very funny.

Gotta love that brand spanking new Atari 2600 and Combat cartridge bonus prize on offer!!

Bob Monkhouse all the way and always looked very dapper in his 3 piece suit, memories of Friday night and watching it on a Philips g22k550 tv. I always remember asking my nan why the board used to always keep changing ever round and eh eh sound was. So miss being a young child

This episode has the ATV Zoom 2 ident and ATV Colour Production endcap due to the fact the series was made in 1981, before ATV became Central. A Central Presents frontcap would have preceded Zoom 2 or the Central ident would have been played out live, plastering over Zoom 2.

[@Musicradio77Network]

They did the same for “The Muppet Show” when it was originally on ATV did the same “In Colour” bumper and the “Colour Production” at the end when it was imported to series through ITC for US syndication. This was right up until “The Muppet Show” ended in 1981 when ATV ended its run.

[@antster1983]

​@@Musicradio77Network Well, it wasn't exactly the same. There would have been two separate editions made - one for broadcast in the UK by ATV (which would contain an extra sketch due to ITV having shorter commercial breaks at the time), the other for international export by ITC. The ATV/ITC endcap at the end was superimposed over Zoot playing the off-key note at the end of every episode.

"It's Famileeeyyy Fortannnnes" - old school announcer!!

[@markboulton954]

I have fond memories of enjoying Family Fortunes just before we went for our weekly family swim, and we'd be leaving just as the Cannon & Ball theme tune started playing. So I have fond memories of that too, but not because we watched the programme! Also our local swimming complex, recently opened (in December 1980) used a mixture of browns, beiges and yellows in its décor, so it almost seemed like we were going to the "Family Fortunes" swimming pool. EDIT: Good grief, that "We are SAILING!!! No, we're not sailing!" - that brings back an absolute vivid point-in-time memory from seeing it at the time - so much so it's spooky!

[@AlbertCalis]

I'm surprised Sean Connery or William Wallace weren't listed as Famous Scotsmen.

Who knew the “Bob’s your uncle” thing was this old ? Lol

[@Christine_1985]

I’m Scottish and didn’t even know straight away a famous Scotsman when Bob asked the question!😳😳😳. Oops.

[@birdy100]

Fast forward a few years later with Max Bygraves and not one person in both teams could name a "famous Irishman" either.

[@Christine_1985]

birdy100 oh I remember that lol 🤣. It was on Challenge tv.

[@analystab1]

"Living or dead, name a famous Scotsman"-rather surprising it did not turn out anywhere near as funnily as "name a famous Irishman" from the Max Bygraves era.

[@rajnirvan3336]

Oh yeah that was funny plus Turkey. Wonder how Bob would have handled it

[@antster1983]

"Uh, turkey. (laughs)"

[@michaelangst6078]

He was definitely the 2nd best family feud host behind Richard Dawson, despite him trying to do the exact same comedy style

[@christopherhulse8385]

This must have been 1981 as it was Central in 1982.

[@partyentertains4092]

Produced and recorded by ATV in 1981, but presented and broadcasted by Central early 1982.

[@Classictv90s]

Have you the celebrity edition featuring Alan Minter and Dailey Thompson?

[@gordonbeattie4864]

Look back on here later tonight... ;)

[@kmully8873]

The question ever remains: why put the THICK one forward for the final? You always play your best players. No wonder we haven't won a WC for over 60 years!!

[@andywright3450]

Classy Bob monkhouse was great host

[@ABCEasyas--]

Is Robbie Burns the same as Robert Burns?

[@Thediamondduck11]

7:37 Rod Stewart isn’t even Scottish!

[@bpage4132]

Rod Stewart was actually born in Highgate, London, in case you want to know.😊😇💯❤♋

[@bryanhiggins3102]

Bob on Big Money: "If you repeat any of the questions... Oops... Any of the answers that Jill gave me..." Also, he said at the end of the first Big Money round, "right on the 20 seconds, but acceptable', when it was actually 15 seconds. If Max had made a slip-up like that, he would have got slated for it. Bob & Max weren't all that different really, in that sense.

[@thejacal2704]

Bob is a much better presenter / entertainer / comedian; he didn't get flustered at all, Max seemed to get lost sometimes.
