The British version of the show, which ran from 1980 to 2002 on ITV, was called Family Fortunes. The producers reportedly claimed that they considered the word "feud" too confrontational. It was hosted by Bob Monkhouse (until 1983), Max Bygraves (until 1985) and Les Dennis when it returned two years later, before the show was moved to daytime (in 2002) with Andy Collins as host. Peter Dickson replaced Stephen Rhodes as the show's announcer shortly before its move to the "daytime" schedule. It was cancelled after this series.
