YES ! Funniest thing I've ever seen in a 2 minute clip.Max Bygraves was The Host. He said Turkey, inexplicably, for the first question. which was " Item taken to the beach " After that by an hilarious co-incidence he had to name a Country competing in Europran Football Trophies, then a farmyard animal, then something that makes you think of Xmas and he kept on saying TURKEY !!
@@MikkelMane Just because a country is small does not mean it isn't there. Govt. pos. or not, people would still probably mention it in a survey. Brat still means a spoiled CHILD, even pejorative. Rise up with your manners first, filthy-mouthed good-at-nothing!
@@ectopudding Oh yes, bullseye. I remember now seeing a behind the scenes thing about the show and each family had to bring along a sixth member, in case one of them had to pull out at the last minute for whatever reason.
If he said "Turkey" for every question, I'm thinking it would be possible that answer showed up for a Eurovision song contest country, a nursery rhyme animal, a government position, and a slang word for a child. As far as a vegetable you chop up, turkeys do eat grasses and leaves, so turkeys are partly processed vegetables. Maybe not likely anyone would give that answer in the survey, but anything is possible.
To be fair I also said "brat" when I saw this on TV when it was broadcast. I couldn't think of anything else in the moment in that era. Also it's tough when the top answers are taken.
Rigged! Luxembourg was the most successful Eurovision nation of all time when this was filmed. Would have been a top answer if people in the UK actually watched it.
Haha, "say we're from England?"....no dude, we usually call ourselves British. And as a Welshman, I certainly don't say I'm from England...I say I'm from Wales or Britain...but mostly Welsh because I'm proud to be from Cymru.
It's actually a pretty tricky set of questions (once the top answers have gone), especially the nursery rhyme and government position ones. In neither case do answers leap out at you.
Chancellor yes, or home/foreign secratry. Speaker of the House, however, is not a government position as they are required to be independent and are no longer a party MP.
KingKaitain if I was playing as the second contestant my answers would have been 1. France or Spain 2. Mouse (as in hickory dickory dock) 3. Chancellor 4. Onion 5. Bairn
Best one ever was when Les asked "name something you would put in a fruit salad" and the answer provided was "cucumber". I'm still laughing 30 years later... 🤣😂🤣
England shouldn't have been accepted as an answer to the first question - and I say that as someone who is English. There's a UK entry but not a separate English one.
There was one particular incident on a Fast Money round on Family Feud with Steve Harvey where a man scored 182 points but the woman give out some good answers and the woman didn't scored a thing.
Luxembourg hasn’t competed in Eurovision since 1993. The year before this episode was made. Even if it had I doubt it would be the first answer to come to most people’s mind when thinking of Eurovision
He only said "turkey" three times in a row. He then said Hurricane Higgins for a snooker player but his sibling had already used that answer; he ran out of time before he could answer that question or the last one.
Also, this programme dates back to the 1990s, so Luxembourg may well have still been in it at that time. Anyway it's not easy to think of a good answer when you're under pressure like that.
For a second I thought Les Dennis was saying the top answer for a government position is "sheikh." Maybe if the survey was taken in Saudi Arabia. British and Irish accents sometimes throws me off.
still dont know why Les Dennis's career dropped while his minging fucking slag of an ex wife Amanda Holden went on to have an amazing carreer after sucking off Neil Morrisey behind Les's back. Maybe if everyone decided to be a horrible cunt more of us would get on tv judging tv talent shows. Now thats irony, Amanda Holden judging talent. Thats like making Joey Essex the minister for education and putting Jimmy carr in charge of the Inland Revenue.
That's the first time I have seen Les ask a contestant on The Big Money for an more exact answer on the government position question where the contestant just said minster and then had to changed it to prime minster.
Who the heck is Andy Pandy? I'm not from the UK, so I'm not really familiar with that answer. Also, while I've heard of the Eurovision song contest, Luxembourg isn't the first country that would come to mind who compete in it.

He would have got 153 if he went first . Lady might have better in 2nd round. I think he got stumped by having to come up with 2nd answers. Threw him a lot.
I'm from the US, & on our version, called Family Feud, our hosts seem to be similar. Max Bygraves has a bunch of similarities to Richard Dawson, & the same goes for Les Dennis, who has a bunch of similarities to Ray Combs. Also, I don't think Max nor Richard has ever had a person get all 0's on the last round, but I know Ray has, & now I know Les has too...
wow ..i am loving these old game shows .thanks 4 downloading them i have been up all night watching them...i watched all the bullseye ones ..now i am going to watch all these family fortunes...what a plonker this man is he didnt even get one right..ha ha
England has never been in the Eurovision contest , its the united kingdom that is represented , if scotland becomes independent , scotland will enter as Scotland and the remaining countries will enter as the usual United Kingdom.
Mark Viduka exactly these idiots don't know how the game works. Your not guessing the right answer your guessing what answer the public gave. Right or wrong.
Better tell Ronnie Carroll, Kenneth McKellar, Lulu, Mary Hopkin, Clodagh Rodgers, Rikki, Scott Fitzgerald, Emma, Gina G, Bonnie Tyler, Jessica Garlick, James Fox and Lucy Jones they were singing for England at Eurovision. Ignorant boot, and so were the producers for allowing it.
You know, I always thought the same thing. Max Bygraves always seemed like the English version of Richard Dawson to me, because they were by far the funniest hosts of this show on their respective sides of the Earth. After all, they hosted the most legendary episode of their respective shows. Dawson got the alligator, Bygraves got the Irishman and the Turkey. RIP, Richard Dawson and Max Bygraves.
My answers were: 1. Sweden 2. Cuckoo (my mind blanked, I couldn't think of an animal...I later thought 'cat'...as in the cat from 'Hey Diddle Diddle the cat and the fiddle...') 3. Prime Minister 4. Carrots 5. Kid
'Name a slang word for a child'.

Whereas the woman would have got 100 for England.

"Brat."
Sounds about right....
I laughed 😂
"How many fingers do you have?"
"Twelvtey!"
Two-teen
That's right Tubbs Edward is very pleased
Les Dennis Was Th Best Presenter Of This Show For Me
At the end, it looks like their dancing to the theme tune, mind u it is quite a dancey theme tume.
The late great Bob Monkhouse was the best. Les was a close second and was just as funny.
He is absolutely funny I like him
max bygraves might have made gaffes every episode but he was way more funny and entertaining
Anyone who's shagged Amanda Holden I'd hold in the highest respect 👍😉
They should have had a gag prize for someone who gets all zeroes.
Well he may have led to the creation of Pointless so there's that
I think he was unlucky. Other than Andy Pandy they aren't horrendously bad answers.
@@MikkelMane Just because a country is small does not mean it isn't there.

@@MikkelMane president isn't a government position!? What planet do you live on? It never said British government, just government in general.
@Keenangoal Dude that kind of attitude isnt necessary....

2:22 is there even another slang term for child? i feel like kid is the only answer
Bairn would have been a decent answer.

To be fair I also said "brat" when I saw this on TV when it was broadcast. I couldn't think of anything else in the moment in that era.
Also it's tough when the top answers are taken.
Tot?
I probably would have said brat once kid was taken.
Sprog?
I would not have considered "kid" as a slang term. (But I'm from the US)
and in front of an audience on TV
That top answer sound lives on in my warmest of dreams.
Rigged! Luxembourg was the most successful Eurovision nation of all time when this was filmed. Would have been a top answer if people in the UK actually watched it.
@@capella5783 Luxembourg is a separate country and part of the benelux.
meg fan I thought Ireland would have been the top answer for the Eurovision!?!
The show isn't based on correct answers as much as it is based on what the 100 people surveyed said.
I think they need to look at the sort of people who they use for the surveys !
That’s a shame, he wore his lucky shirt too.
"Name an animal in a nursery rhyme."
"Andy Pandy".
REALLY???!!!
England? The United Kingdom competes in Eurovision not England.
just English ignorance as usual
We do not call each other people from the United Kingdom. We say we're from England. That's why people said England as their answer
blood and silver Well i'm English and i know the difference!
Haha, "say we're from England?"....no dude, we usually call ourselves British.
And as a Welshman, I certainly don't say I'm from England...I say I'm from Wales or Britain...but mostly Welsh because I'm proud to be from Cymru.
+DarkLight753 People from England say they're from England.
President, Andy pandy, leek, brat, Luxembourg were all terrible answers...
"Name an animal with three letters in its name."
"Hippopotamus."
They won't be laughing in a minute, you bet they won't, I bet they beat the living daylights out of him
I bet he's trapped in their basement.
This guy lives in Luxembourg now.
With Andy Pandy,and enjoys eating chopped leeks with the....president
Perfect place to raise a little brat :)
It's actually a pretty tricky set of questions (once the top answers have gone), especially the nursery rhyme and government position ones. In neither case do answers leap out at you.
Agreed......................................
The nursery rhyme isn't that difficult. Just say a farm animal. You don't have to know what nursery rhyme it's from.
But baa baa black sheep is the obvious one and she didn't say it. :) Also, most people know their MP.

You know a a cucumber is technically a fruit. In fact it tastes quite good in lemonade, Sprite launched a cucumber drink a few years ago as well.
@@Mike--Oxmall Botanically it´s a fruit, but people hardly use botany in the kitchen. And cooking wise, it´s a vegetable.

That also happened five times in Russia.

Lol...
He was thinking of the song from the 'Watch With Mother' episodes; he knew straight away he'd made a mistake.

In the days when things had a reasonable price.
Don't forget this was back in the early eighties.

Luxembourg hasn’t competed in Eurovision since 1993. The year before this episode was made. Even if it had I doubt it would be the first answer to come to most people’s mind when thinking of Eurovision
They’re coming back this year (2024)
Even though, at the time, Luxembourg held the record for the most number of Eurovision wins.
@@bigredsock1 I wonder if that’s why the contestant came up with that answer
Name an animal in a nursery rhyme: "Alligator"
Fear is the mind killer.
This is the ONLY time I can think of where a contestant got five zeros in the end game, without passing on any of the answers!
no there is another where a guy says turkey 5 times in a row for every answer.LOL
He only said "turkey" three times in a row. He then said Hurricane Higgins for a snooker player but his sibling had already used that answer; he ran out of time before he could answer that question or the last one.
England has NEVER taken part in the ESC, fact! Luxembourg has not been in it since 1993
That doesn't matter, it's the answer folk gave, it doesn't have to be correct.
Correct. Glad they blew it. Fuds.
Also, this programme dates back to the 1990s, so Luxembourg may well have still been in it at that time. Anyway it's not easy to think of a good answer when you're under pressure like that.
The copyright date for this episode is 1994, so it may have been filmed in 1993.
Yeah, except I'm pretty sure if people had said Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland it would not have been considered "correct"...
Would of thought at least 2 people would of said "brat".

Think Luxembourg quit Eurovision before this
Can we also acknowledge that even the prize money amount given away is wrong? £361 doubled is £722, not £711. Someone owes this family eleven quid!
They scored 175 in Big Money which was doubled to make £350.
£350 added to the £361 from the main game is £711
The Eurovision question kind of unfair as there are so many possible answers
