    Only just found out that Family Fortunes is coming to Ireland.

    Will it do better or worse on these shores than DOND...? :D;)

    Mind you, I much prefer Alan to Vernon Bl##dy Kay...

    Well, this gaffe wasn't his fault... it was the fault of the people who conducted the survey.

    They probably haven't watched Pointless... :rolleyes: :D;)

    Perhaps they got people in the survey to spell nee :) Or its the gaffe of the Production Staff. (No rehearsals? or production meetings or auto-cues where the word nee might continually be spelled incorrectly?)

    Alan: Okay folks we are looking for things viewers of Ireland AM want to use to hit Mark Cagney? So Sandra things you might like to hit my co-host of Ireland AM with.
    Sandra: Nee?
    Alan: Is knee there? our survey said

    Bing

    Alan: What where's the K gone like in C..t? Not that I'd know.

    To be fair, it was actually the fault of the numptys being surveyed who spell knee nee...

    The questions are rather dull.

    It's all very pedestrian.

    No they are different. A flu is much worse.

    Seen 5mins of it, it all seemed very Alan Partidgesque.

    Dull & Tacky would be saying good things about it.

    Xpose is not my flavour but the minute I head about Alan by god I had to tune in.

    Sure I always spell my Knee without a K, sure it's only silet at the end of the day, not reall important!

    He did an alright job last night, looked a little tense and it was a really fast game I must say. Looking forward to the rest of them, I'm sure they will get better over time :P

    I don't like this show at the best of times. Imagine if RTÉ had commissioned this and then put The Priest on as a family! uproar uproar I tell you.

    I doubt they are using their own research. Minor point TBH. No spot prizes?

    It should do well the UK version does well for the channel

    I still don't understand this, Family Fortunes is a really cringey, camp and kitsch TV format from the 1970s. Are other version not just as cringey?

    What did you expect?

    However I like the US host anytime I see him on YouTube

    So far I will admit it's not the best. It's sped up and it's like they are rushing it. I was in the audience and it wasn't what it's like on the TV. They really did cut the humorous parts of it out. Add them back in and it will become much better!

    Overall it's still early days. I'll give it a chance as I want to see my family on it but if it keeps going the way it's going, this may be it's only season.
