This is my idea for a new set for Family Fortunes. I would like to see the regular version return and if it did, it would likely be produced on a lower budget than the current 'All Star' version. The set is inspired by the previous Family Fortunes sets of the 1990s but adopting the predominant blue colours of the current All Star set. The game board would be a large led screen but, like the 1987 board, it will imitate the traditional 'Mr. Babbage' board when in gameplay. For consistency reasons, the logo will be the same as the 'All Star' version but unadorned with 'All Star' and white stars. The screens behind the contestants can change colour between, light blue, dark blue (for Big Money), pink and orange. For Big Money, the whole set will become a very dark blue. During Family Fortunes and Double Money rounds, when a top answer is revealed, the whole set will become bright white and then will fade to the normal colour scheme. The 'Lock Out' sequence will remain as it used to be, with traditional buzzers and lights. The lights are the white globes (the person who buzzes in first is indicated when the white globe becomes red). I intend the prizes to be the same as the current 'All Star' version. The contestant podiums are much thinner than previously, the name of the family will appear on a screen below the podium top, this will switch to the points total at the end of each round.

I bet you did not even look at my post, you just saw my username and decided to make me angry with your pathetic remark. It is no wonder TV Forum is not what it used to be. Farewell TV Forum, I will not miss you.

It would be sad to see you leave, IM. This obviously wasn't the best mock of all time, but I don't think it's right to leave over a petty and rude comment.

No tears shall be shed here. He's another one with a lousy attitude, posting any old sh*te in anticipation of praise and adulation. And then spitting his dummy out spectacularly when that obviously doesn't arrive.

So, farewell, Invent. Your talents go unwarranted here. Until your next Sketch Up, at least. In about a week.

Mixed thoughts about your apparent departure. I used to respect you as a Mocker, as you could produce decent things, but since the whole Thames mock debacle, and your comments claiming superiority, that sort of went away, especially since you've kept this idea of being better, and superior since, and have suddenly decided that one comment is enough to depart with.

Never thought I'd say this, but I don't think you'll be missed.
