The name is actually a contradiction in terms. Celebrity Family Fortunes would suggest that the family are ALL celebs. But a member of the team does not make them all celebs. Plus, this country has NO ONE you could actually describe as a celebrity outside of this country - aside, maybe some one like Jude Law and the small handful of B- list film stars. Who have since left for California. We are having to rely on E- List people such as Chris Moyles and Fern Cotton or was it Brittan, I give up.

At least 'Love Island' had the sense to remove the name 'celebrity' from their title on the last series. But this constant conveyer belt of "From that one hit wonder 80's band and that guy who appeared in one t.v series and now can only get work as a pantomime dame at christmas, here's..." is embarrasing.

Just put on Sky One and that Cirus de..blah de blah is on and they've just introduced 'From Grange Hill..Zamo' Has that guy not worked since then? How does he pay his mortgage and his groceries? he must have the worst agent in the world :) ha ha

Zammo? He tried to make it as a boxer, but didn't, and ended up with his own locksmith business :|

Roly's a DJ :D

well, no, agreed it isn't on BBC. Other than that, spot on

Veron kaye is a complete c**t, the cheeky chappy in a smart suit really fucks me off. least it's for charity, but the point missed by the producers is it only works because of the public, the stupid joe, often scottish, who makes the show. nobody wants to see how stupid our hero's are

shame, tis one of the best programmes on telly.

Funny this came up, I'm in talks with SkyWank+3 about a series I have in production. If I tell you it's name, I trust you won't spill it?

I would pay good money to see Celebrity Family Fortunes with The Sisters vs The m*****n. Especially if they got Hussey pissed before the show aired. You could have a field day with the questions.
"So Andrew, we asked 100 people why they think you don't release albums anymore..no?..I'll throw it across to the m*****n family then..I really don't think "Because he's a git" is going to be there Wayne, but let's see..oh, number 3.."
You could have the winning group face Fields of the Nephilim in the finals, consisting of Carl McCoy and his hard drive. :roll:

I really don't think so somehow.
November 2000 ... a fax from Radar Television:
Dear Mr Eldritch,

I am writing to invite you to take part in a new Channel 4 entertainment programme, which is set to be a huge hit in the New Year. The show is called Banzai and is Channel 4's new cult comedy entertainment show, which is being produced by Radar TV, and which will be broadcast on Friday nights in the coveted 11.00pm slot.

The show is aimed at those who laughed at Da Ali G Show and Trigger Happy TV, although the major difference is that the celebrities are 'in' on the gag. Presented as a 'Japanese Gameshow', the programme spoofs the bet on anything culture and encourages viewers to gamble on the outcome of short, stand alone 'leftfield' scenarios. An example being Melvyn Bragg playing 'Knock & Run' and Groove Armada versus The Artful Dodger in a game of 'Office Chair Curling on Ice.' Members of each band are curled towards 80's throwback Les Rhythmes Digitales by the British curling team, and viewers bet which celebrity-on-an-office-chair will get nearest Jaques Du Cont.

We would LOVE you to take part in a challenge. The challenge we have devised is 'The Andrew Eldritch Hitch Hiker Puzzle.' We would film this with secret cameras and it would involve you thumbing a lift near motorway services. When the car stops you would give the driver a quiz question such as, 'What's the Capital of Finland?' If the answer is correct you would then accept the lift.

Alternatively we could film 'Knock & Run' with your good self. This would mean we could film in an area nearer to your home and would take up less of your time.

I'm sure you can appreciate the surreal sense of humour we are trying to get across. The show is set to be cult viewing, which is why we are approaching very specific celebrities because we hope their involvement will develop that cult status.

I hope you get the humour of the show and want to take part. [...]

Kind regards,

etc
If anybody even expresses interest in something as dumb as this, they surely deserve to be the subject of another, equally unfunny and unentertaining "Channel 4 cult comedy entertainment show" about people desperate to be on unfunny and unentertaining Channel 4 cult comedy entertainment shows.
Whether that is the true purpose of this fax, we can only guess. Either way, it's so gobsmackingly fatuous that we typed it out for your amazement before throwing it unanswered down the fetid chute marked British Media.

The questions for Carl would be even better.."We asked 100 people what species of animal testicles they thought "ZOON" sucked... "
