Catchphrase returns

Not unusual though - I think Family Fortunes have been in a can for a while. Stephen will also be off doing Britain's Got More Talent for the next month or so.

The information they give at recordings isn't always accurate.

The current series of Family Fortunes was actually filmed at the end of November. I went to a recording of the previous series in February last year, and they said it would be shown in the summer, but actually got shown in March.

There could mean, It will be broadcast BY the summer?

I'm surprised someone from STV Productions didn't poke him in the eye for saying that.

"Other Channel 3 regions are available..."

The Dale Winton lookalike warm up man told us last night it will be in March. They also recorded two openings one which says "welcome to a new series" and another one just introducing the game.

What's the end game like and what do they win ? I thought I read it was different to the original ?

Instead of a massive grid of letters, there's a pyramid of numbers one includes a prize and if completed the top prize is £50,000.

Last nights recording was for the last one in the series and was a celebrity special.

It featured a Coronation Street actress


A Benidorm actor


And a celebrity chef


The recording overran because one of them was thick as .... and kept buzzing in at the wrong moment or shouting the answers out. I don't know how much they will keep in, but it was a good laugh.

Stephen did say that this one will air at the end of the series as an Easter special and will air before Downton Abbey.

There is also a contestant appeal plugged for the next series.

Watch out for a rude catchphrase from the actress... was very funny!

I suppose we dont have to guess very hard who is the thick one do we, or will we be surprised?

(By the way, any post which does have spoilers does appear in full on the homepage, so one for the techys to sort out there!)

She spells her name with a Y.

And her surname with an S.
