Max cracks me up when he says. "You have won a prize." Also when he says, "Big Money."

Love max great actor too sadly missed by many

Max Bygraves was such a lovely talented gentleman and could do many things. A great singer, actor and comedian, but no one was less suited to being a game show host. He did his best for two years though and you can’t begrudge him that.

Max said in his autobiography he never really watched gameshows as he wasn't a fan. Also said he wasn't at the same level of gameshow hosting as Bob. On the other hand had great time and laughter meeting families

Wasn’t nice to his wife or family Though.

Max and Bob were probably the best hosts of the show history

Les Dennis is okay but he gets on my nerves when he does impressions of Mavis and Frank Spencer. Vernon Kay is is annoying when he shouts mega loud, "Our servey said!" Then he acts like a prized prat when he gets the props out and gets the families to dress-up and act. I think to myself, "Is this a quiz show or a bloody pantomime on behalf of Christopher Biggins?" Then then there's the annoying Gino D'Acampo that keeps on saying, "Come to Gino." Another prat on a half-decade pass from the prat farm. He's supposed to be a chef not a TV presenter. He can't even present a fart from his arse.

Ainsley Harriott has also presented TV shows, and he's a chef. I've never seen a person's usual TV job as a barrier to them being a presenter... Comedians, singers, newsreaders, actors... All have hosted gameshows... So why not celebrity chefs too?

Totally agree with that. Looking back, Max gave it a damned good show...he was very funny in, and was great with the contestants.

I remember when this episode aired was at both my parents and grandparents moved houses and I was 6 years old. My nan and I were watching this episode expecting Bob Monkhouse to come out and unexpectedly thought whose this😂

I used to look forward to Friday when I finished school as a child off to my grandparents house and get excited when LWT would start as live in London. I loved watching Family Fortunes with my now late grandmother (passed away last year 😢 💔 miss her dearly) when Bob Monkhouse was host. I was intrigued by the board always kept asking why it kept changing every round 😂🤣 or the eh eh even how it changes from at the start from Family Fortunes to Bob Monkhouse name and back to Family Fortunes 🤣

I'm more bemused about the veiled reference to one Richard Dawson (or the guy (a Brit himself at that) that was famous/infamous depending on your viewpoint for kissing women contestants on the lips here in the US, funny enough as an aside, his last wife he actually met on the show, her family came on and won a few games, he got her number and eventually they had a little daughter some time after his version of the Feud as we know it went off the air for the first time and got married).

The first question should've been, Name any item that uses a zip fastener.

Max at the top of the show "this is my favorite programme" Max 15 years later "how I hated that show" Just listen on the first lockout, how he explains the rules - all over the shop

Everything seemed classier back then by the looks of it.

The sound we hear when somebody gets an answer wrong sounds like a fart.

Max the "attractive" GOAT 😊😊❤❤

Max was so awkward. Bob Monkhouse was the master.
