Why do they need celebrities! It should be half an hour long like the old episodes with ordinary people. They give funnier answers.

The title sequence for this show is so cringe-makingly cheesy it's genius. There must be a lot of appeal in seeing Vernon getting zapped in the arse and reacting in the campest way possible.


I agree with that, but will they have to re shoot the title sequence as Vernon now has his short hair cut?

He has cut his hair? Great Mad .

I thought they had axed All Star Family Fortunes, it seems so long since the last series.


Wasn't FF done as part of Vernon's Gameshow Marathon? Trying to remember now.

I believe Vernon got his hair cut for charity earlier this year, and has stuck with it-- maybe because of that Elvis show Laughing I think it suits him better. Or is it just I who thinks that? Laughing

Yes it was the final of the first series of Gameshow Marathon

I agree, I much prefer him with shorter hair.

Based on this clip from This Morning, it looks like there will be new titles.

I have found FF unwatchable ever since Les Dennis took over.

It wasn't his presentation style I had a problem with, it was the tacky metallic 3D graphics and overblown music I couldn't stand.

Unfortunately this latest version is even worse.

This is, at its heart, a tacky 70s US gameshow. Trying to tart it up doesn't work -- back to basics IMO.

I noticed the producers didn't even bother to look up the correct location of Kildare. It is NOT in the north, it is in the mid-east region. Poor showing.
