Les once again promised to give her the money himself if it was there - and it was the 4th most popular answer (or 'Wee in public', to be more precise). She confirmed that Les had indeed done this.but that the cheque bounced! In response, Les gave her a second, framed cheque! The second occasion involved a contestant who had faced the question, 'Name something that a dog can do that you wish you could?' and she came out with, 'Wee in the street'.

The woman in question appeared in the audience of the retrospective show Family Misfortunes where Les asked her to confirm that he wrote her a cheque for ВЈ12 after the recording. only to find that it was the 6th most popular answer and 12 people had said it - yes, the people surveyed could quite often come up with answers just as bizarre as the contestants did! Once Les had shouted 'Oh no!' he looked at the board, shook hands with the contestant and laughed his way through the words 'I owe you twelve pounds!'. One of the questions was 'Name a way of toasting someone' the contestant buzzed in with the answer 'over a fire'! Cue huge laughs from the audience and Les making his promise. Les's catchphrase of 'if it's up there, I'll give you the money meself' backfired on at least two memorable occasions.

The famous UK Game Show Page cockups list! A fairly comprehensive list of the hilarious wrong answers produced by some contestants over the years can be found here! Many were featured on two programmes entitled 'Family Misfortunes', in which Les Dennis showed footage of these answers and spoke to some of the families involved, who were in the audience.Д«ob Monkhouse and the rather aptly named 'Thicke Family' in 1980:ДЇamily Member 2 (Liam's Mother): We'll play!ДЇamily Member 2: 'We've already answered that one!' An audience of 50 in an auditorium of 350 is just too quiet, and canned laughter was clearly applied a little too liberally (as evidenced by Gino ignoring one round of applause, since he clearly didn't hear it).

However, we do wonder rather whether they perhaps ought to have waited to produce the series one lesson which definitely should have been learnt from Andy Collins' version is that you need a full audience to squeal in case of ridiculous answers. We do rather miss the scrum at the end of jackpot-winning episodes, though we understand why it was missing there was social distancing in place as a result of Covid-19. Take two families, a large game board which looked like it was brought from a dodgy salesman at a bargain price, a host who could do an impression of Mavis from Coronation Street and questions supplied by the public in specially commissioned surveys.ДЄ few problems: Its consolation prize of twice the losing total is frankly miserly when in 2006 losing All Star teams got three times that and from 2007 on the higher of ten times that or ВЈ1,000, and Gino has a really annoying habit of obstructing the board when not given answers are being revealed.
