All Star Family Fortunes

1980 - 1985


Family Fortunes began in 1980 with Bob Monkhouse as the host. The first logo was the dot matrix board lit up to spell out the words 'Family Fortunes'. Max Bygraves replaced Bob Monkhouse as the host in 1983.

1987


In 1987 Family Fortunes was revived with new host Les Dennis. In his first series, the traditional board, called Mr. Babbage, was replaced by a then state of the art screen in addtion to a new set.

1987 - 1989


From Les Dennis' second series the screen was replaced by an LED board, not the similar 1980 to 1985 board which was dot matrix. The LEDs allowed the board to remain visible when the studio lights were darkened. The logo was for the first time an electronically generated graphic comprising of gold coins each with a letter from the words 'Family Fortunes' embossed on it, the set was slightly changed with one of the two words being behind each of the families podiums.

1990 - 1994


In 1990, Family Fortunes recieved a new look. The logo was now a large 'F' with a smaller 'F' within, 'AMILY' written in large Arial etters with 'ORTUNES' written in Gill Sans Bold in smaller letters beneath. The logo had a gold finish. The set was entirely changed to a morem odern set which was grey and blue with some pink.

1995 - 1997


In 1995 Family Fortunes recieved a new title sequence and with it a new logo which features five 'Eggs'. The letters were of a block type and was underlined, the 'M' in 'Family' has a bow tie on it, presumably representing the 'Dad' of the 'Egg family'. The set remained unchanged.

1998 - 2000


In 1998 Family Fortunes recieved a new cream/gold set. The title sequence and the logo were amended to remove all blue elements.
