These VTs are very similar to those on the All Star version. I wonder if it’s mostly the same people working on it.


I'm wondering that myself. The opening tid bit from Gino was exactly line for line as it was on the All Star version.

Same sound effects have been reused from the All Star version too.

Roof top animation with voice over introducing the families like the classic days.

It's a female announcer introducing the families during the titles. Not to sure on the rearranged theme either.

They are definitely padding it out with inane chit chat.

Ahh lovely!

I would've preferred Vernon Kay's 'All Star' version.

I think the VO is Sophie Willan from The Circle. Not sure though. I thought it was a bit weak though.

I would have liked an updated reworking of the 2001 theme. That still sounds good today.

Don't get them introducing the families during the titles for then to do an even longer family VT.

When did Fremantle buy the format?

It's probably Thames that's producing it. They've had it since the All Star version with Vernon Kay.

Sorry, yes, Thames.

What do we think of the set?

I think it's quite slick.

The Family Feud format was originally created by Goodson-Todman Productions and that was bought by Pearson Television, the predecessor to Fremantle back in 1996.

Fremantle's gameshow library is huge as evident with Epic Gameshow which apart from Bullseye from all from their catalogue.
DE88, MarkT76 and DeMarkay gave kudos
