@@AutomaticDuck300 Well in that case if it were me I'd listen for the question where Turkey would make sense as an answer rather than just answering Turkey to all the questions 🤣

For me, Les Dennis was the best presenter of Family Fortunes. I think he must have proved a popular choice at the time as he was allowed a 15-year reign as the show's host. He was funny but not too rude & just had a nice way with him for making contestants feel at ease. I think a good comedian makes for a good host on a TV show of this nature.
I'm guessing he was thinking turkey as in a turkey sandwich for a picnic, but it was just hilarious how the answers kept kind of fitting in after that. One of my all time favorites.
He overheard the first contestant get ‘chicken’ as a top answer so thought turkey would be a good second answer. Then panicked and gave it for every answer.
I read something that Bob didn't have the headphones on properly while the contestant was on stage. He knew chicken was an answer, but not to which question.
As an American these old episodes of Family Fortunes are just as funny as Family Feud. So we open our bowels, close are legs, and only have one big toe. Next time i am at the supermarket I have to make sure the first i buy is a turkey then take it to the beach.
4:59 Even though they’re in a Television studio, they must still consider it a theatre and/or the crew were theatre vets, and thus they held up the superstition of never saying “Macbeth” inside a theatre and thus they threw “Scottish Play” on the board 🎭
"If it's up there I'll give you the money myself...OH NO! I owe you twelve pounds!" Gotta love those people who think toasting someone means roasting 'em over an open fire!!
Hahaha. I love how Lee just says "Naomi Campbell" with absolutely no hesitation whatsoever. Janet's answer is actually pretty correct, I would be very surprised to see a nun in a brothel or a strip club unless she was was a lapsed Catholic.
I met a Nun in a brothel once - the poor woman had fallen over and, having started to rain, was moved gently inside until me and my ambulance arrived. The poor lady was more concerned that I thought she was there as a working girl...

I am American but yes Les Denis was by far the best. Bob Munkhouse I would put at a close 2nd. Bob was the same as our presenter Richard Dawson was British and appeared on Match Game back in the 70's. I believe your version was called blankety blank probably early 80's. Still very funny.

6:47😂😂😂😂 that episode was also where no one could name a famous Irishman. Max Bygraves kept goofing everything up after replacing the brilliant Bob Monkhouse
I've never laughed as much in ages watching this clip. A good laugh at outtakes like this is what we need during Covid-19.I understand why contestant sometimes give silly answers.Sometimes it's the way the question is worded and the contestant is so deep in concentration that he/she focuses on one word in the question. E.g Instead of hearing"Name something you have more than two of" they hear"Name something you have Blah Blah TWO OF." I think the question setters in Family Fortunes word the questions in such a way so that there is a better chance of saying an hilarious answer and my aching laughter muscles are all the better for it.😂😂😂😂😂😂X 1000

"over a fire".

A bit of trivia: The British called their show "Family Fortunes", because the
producers felt "Family Feud" was considered too aggressive.
That sounds like us...
I thought it was the original host Bob Monkhouse who suggested it.
@@EightThreeEightYeah, it was Bob who suggested "Fortunes"
Well, the Hatfields and McCoy's got nothin' on the Lancasters and Yorks.
