Family Fortunes is a long-running British game show, based on the American game show Family Feud. The programme began on ITV on January 6 1980 and ran until 2002 and revived 4 years later in 2006. The difference in the show title is because the producers thought the word "feud" too confrontational in the UK cultural context. It was originally produced by ATV, then by Central and finally by Carlton, who had acquired Central. The 2006 revival is produced by talkbackTHAMES.
