Aren't you glad that the Dearly family appeared on the show as contestants? Let's see how they do on the first round of Single Money as we watch part two of Family Fortunes!*** Patch: All right, those are our families. We are now ready to play the game. Edward, Lucky, come join me at the center. It's time for Family Fortunes!Edward, meet Lucky. Lucky, meet Edward. Remember, it is the first family to reach £300 that will move on to the Big Money round for a shot at our progressive jackpot of £42,500. In this first game of Single Money, we have the top six answers on the board to this question we asked 100 people. Name a type of bank. (Lucky rings in) Patch: Lucky. Lucky: A savings bank. Patch: All right. We're looking for a savings bank. Our survey says... (top answer fanfare) Patch: Very well done! You've found the top answer. Lucky, for that, you have control. Are you gonna play or pass? Dearly family: Play! Play! Play! We'll play! Lucky: We're gonna play. Patch: Okay. The Dearly family is going to play. Rejoin your family. No conferring. Burke family, start conferring; you might get a chance to steal a bit later. Two-Tone, can you come up with another type of bank? Two-Tone: A loan bank. Patch: Okay, let's see if a loan bank is up there. (Uh-uhhh!) Patch: Good answer, but it's not there! That means the Dearly family lost a life. Lose three lives, and the Burke family will have a chance to steal the money. Rolly, what's your answer? Rolly: A blood bank. Patch: A blood bank is what you're going with. Let's have a look. (Ding) Patch: Nice job. Cadpig, we're looking for another type of bank. Can you find one? Cadpig: Um, a sperm bank. Patch: Okay, making a deposit-- (laughter from audience) Patch: Let's have a look for a sperm bank. (Ding) Patch: It's there. Absolutely. Tripod, I need another type of bank. Tripod: A bottle bank. Patch: A bottle bank. Let's have a look. (Ding) Patch: Excellent. Lucky, can you come up with another good answer? Lucky: Uh, a grass bank. Patch: We're looking for a grass bank. Our survey says... (Uh-uhhh!) Patch: It's not there! You lose another life. Burke family, if the Dearly family loses one more life, then you'll get a chance to steal. Get ready. Two-Tone, you need to give me another good answer to stay in control. Two-Tone (frustrated): Um--oh...I got nothing. Patch: You have a bit of time to think. Two-Tone: Sorry. Nothing's coming to mind. (Beep) Patch: Oh, that sound means you've run out of time! That means you'll now hear this sound. (Uh-uhhh!) Patch: So, that's your third and final life gone. The Burke family now gets a chance to steal the money. Lawrence, I need an answer. What can you come up with? Lawrence: A piggy bank. Patch: A piggy bank. Susan? Susan: A piggy bank. Patch: So, that's your answer, as well? Harold? Harold: A piggy bank. Patch: Going along with them, are you? Margaret? Margaret: A piggy bank. Patch: Looks like we have a great agreement on an answer here. Edward? Edward: Um, yes, I'll go with my family and say a piggy bank. Patch: Okay, then. The entire family is agreeing on a piggy bank. Let's see if it's on the board for the steal. (Ding) Patch: It's there! Well done. Burke family, you have stolen the money at the end of this round! Let's take a look at that missing answer at number six. (Ding) Patch: A river bank. *** End of part two

Here comes part four! This is the third and final round of Single Money. If the Dearly family doesn't score in this round, then there's a chance that they'll make a comeback in Double Money. *** Patch: Let's see how our families are doing so far. The Burke family has £135. The Dearly family has still yet to score. Harold, Rolly, come join me at the center. It's time for more Family Fortunes!Harold, meet Rolly. Rolly, meet Harold. In this third game, we have the top six answers on the board again to this question we asked 100 people. Name a part of the body beginning with the letter "B". (Rolly rings in) Patch: Rolly. Rolly: Belly. Patch: I knew you would say that, judging by the fact that yours is always popping out. (laughter from audience) Rolly: Go ahead and talk about my fat body all you want, Patch. That's not gonna bother me at all. Patch: I see what you mean. (laughter from audience) Patch: We're looking for belly. Our survey says... (Ding) Patch: It's the fifth most popular answer. Harold, there are four answers better. Harold: Eh, I'll go for bum. Patch: Bum? Harold: Or buttocks. Or bottom. Patch: Okay, then! (laughter from audience) Patch: Let's have a look for bottom, or buttocks, or bum. (top answer fanfare) Patch: Excellent! You've found the top answer! Harold, you have control. Check with your family. Play or pass? Burke family: Play! We'll play! Let's Play! We'll play! Harold: We've decided to play. Patch: The Burke family is playing. Rejoin your family, and no conferring. Dearly family, start conferring in case you get a chance to steal. Susan, what do you think? Susan: I think back. Patch: You think back. Okay, let's think back. (Ding) Patch: Very good. Lawrence, let's now think forward with another answer. Lawrence: Round objects, Patch. Balls. (laughter from audience and both families) Patch (laughing): We're looking for balls. Whatever they mean. (laughter from audience) Patch: Our survey says... (Uh-uhhh!) Patch: No! Thankfully, it wasn't there. So, you lose a life for that. Edward, can you come up with a better answer than that? Edward: I'll go with what Lawrence doesn't have, a brain. Patch: Good answer. Is brain on the board? (Ding) Patch: That's more like it. Margaret, can you name another body part that begins with the letter "B"? Margaret: Breasts. Patch: Yeah, I like to see those breasts up there on the board. (small laughter from audience) Patch: What are you laughing at? Let's see if it's on the board. Breasts. (Ding) Patch: I knew that would be there. Harold, I need another good answer for the clean sweep. Harold: How about, eh, how about bowels? (laughter from audience) Patch: Uh, I don't know who raised you as cubs, but, for the clean sweep--and I do mean clean sweep--let's have a look for...what he said. (Uh-uhhh!) Patch: Again, close call, because it's not there! Dearly family, you might get that chance to steal, so get ready. Susan, can you do your family a favor, and try to save that last life? Susan: I'm gonna say brow. As in eyebrow. Patch: Yes, a very clear answer indeed. Again, for the clean sweep, is brow on the board? (Uh-uhhh!) Patch: It's not there! That was your third life gone. The Dearly family is now getting a chance at stealing the money. Tripod, I need an answer. Tripod: Bladder. Patch: Bladder. Cadpig? Cadpig: Bones. Patch: Bones. Rolly? Rolly: Biceps. Patch: Biceps. Two-Tone? Two-Tone: Bladder. Patch: You're going with bladder as well. Lucky? Lucky: I'll go with the majority and say bladder. Patch: Okay. For the steal, let's have a look for bladder. (Uh-uhhh!) Patch: Oh, no! It's not there! Burke family, you win the money! Let's see what the sixth most popular answer was. (Ding) Patch (pissed): Big Toe? Who have we surveyed? (laughter from audience) Patch: The scores at the end of Single Money. The Burke family is at £229, and the Dearly family is still at zero. (groans from audience and the Dearly family) Patch: I know, but the Dearly family is not out of it. We're gonna take a quick break, and when we come back, we'll be playing Double Money, where the Dearly family could make a big comeback. Stay tuned for that and Big Money. (Cheers and applause from audience and theme music plays as the show goes into a commercial break) *** End of part four

After Single Money, the Burke family has taken everything, leaving the Dearly family with a goose egg. But Double Money is coming up right now, so the Dearly family can still make a comeback. Let's see how the families do on the first round of Double Money. *** (Cheers and applause from audience and theme music ends as the show comes back from commercial break) Patch: Welcome back to Family Fortunes! Let's see how our families are doing so far. The Burke family is taking a big lead with £229, while the Dearly family still has yet to score. It can all change, though. Susan, Cadpig, come join me at the center. It's time for Double Money!Susan, meet Cadpig. Cadpig, meet Susan. Double Money means that each answer from now on is worth twice the prize they were before the break. In this fourth game, we have the top five answers on the board to this question we asked 100 people. Name something a dentist says to you. (Cadpig rings in) Patch: Cadpig. Cadpig: This won't hurt. Patch: This won't hurt. Always. (laughter from audience) Patch: Let's have a look. (Ding) Patch: It's the second most popular answer. Susan, you have a chance at finding the top answer. Susan: Open wide. Patch: Sounds like a good answer. The dentist would tell you to open wide. (top answer fanfare) Patch: Top answer! Susan, you have control. Play or pass? Burke family: Play! Play! Play! We want to play! Susan: We want to play. Patch: Okay, the Burke family is playing. Rejoin your family. And start conferring, Dearly family, because you need some money on the board. Lawrence, what else does a dentist say to you? Lawrence: Have you had a problem? (laughter from audience) Patch: The dentist would say, "Have you had a problem?" (Uh-uhhh!) Patch: It's not there! So, that means a life is gone. Honestly, Lawrence, it's you that has a problem. Edward, can you give me another good answer? Edawrd: Lie back and think of England. (laughter from audience) Patch: What's going on with you people? The dentist would probably say to you, "Lie back and think of England." (Uh-uhhh!) Patch: It's not there! Dearly family, get ready, for you might get a chance to steal. Margaret, you need this answer to be on the board. Margaret: Just general chit-chat. Patch: Okay, the dentist would just talk to you about anything. We're looking for just general chit-chat. Our survey says... (Uh-uhhh!) It's not there! You've just lost all three lives. Dearly family, your chance to steal has come, and you could finally get yourselves on the board. Tripod, what's your answer? Tripod: Rinse and spit. Patch: Rinse and spit. Cadpig? Cadpig: Rinse. Patch: Going with rinse as well? Rolly? Rolly: Rinse. Patch: Agreeing with that answer, are you? Two-Tone? Two-Tone: Um, you'll just feel a little prick. (laughter and applause from audience and the Dearly family) Patch: You'll feel just a small prick. Lucky? Lucky: Well, as much as I like to go with Two-Tone-- (laughter from audience) Lucky: I'm gonna go with the majority again and say rinse and spit. Patch: Okay, it needs to be on the board, otherwise the Burke family will have enough money to win the game. For the steal, the dentist would tell you to rinse and spit. (Ding) Patch: Yes! It is there! Finally! You're on the board! You've stolen the money from the Burke family, and stopped them from winning the game. Let's see what the two remaining answers were. Number four? (Ding) Patch: Nothing to fill. And number three? (Ding) Patch: Hello, or good morning. *** End of part five

But still, that's the end. The Burkes won and they're moving on to Fast Money now. Believe me, that's how the game works.

But still, that's the end. The Burkes won and they're moving on to Fast Money now. Believe me, that's how the game works. Wrong, Belchic. That's not how the game works. Sorry to be rude, but the game is not over yet. Just like in the American version, 300 is the magic number to win the game. So, the Dearly family can still win the game if they can win the next round and score enough money there. Remember that I'm using the £300 goal from the pre-2006 versions of Family Fortunes and not the 2006 version itself, when they switched the scores from pounds to points, and when the winning goal was changed to just being in the lead after the main game.

Here's the round that may decide who will win the game and move on to play the Big Money round for the progressive jackpot of £42,500. The Dearly family is coming back, but will they be the first to reach the £300 goal? Let's find out as we see the families play round two of Double Money. *** Patch: Let's see how our families did after the first round of Double Money. The Dearly family is making a comeback with £156, but taking the lead with £229 is the Burke family. Lawrence, Tripod, come join me at the center. It's time for more Double Money!Lawrence, meet Tripod. Tripod, meet Lawrence. In this fifth game, we have the top four answers on the board to this question we asked 100 people. Name something a doctor puts onto you that is cold. (Tripod rings in) Patch: Tripod. Tripod: Stethoscope. Patch: Let's have a look for stethoscope. (top answer fanfare) Patch: Yes! Top answer! Tripod, you have control. Are you gonna play or pass? Dearly family: Play! Let's play! Play! Play! Tripod: We came here to win, Patch, so we're gonna play. Patch: All right. The Dearly family is playing. Rejoin your family. Lucky, what else does a doctor put onto you that is cold? Lucky: Rubber gloves. Patch: Okay, let's see if we can find rubber gloves on the board. (Uh-uhhh!) Patch: It's not there! You've lost a life. Two-Tone, do you have an answer that could be on the board? Two-Tone: Hands. Patch: Hands, without the rubber gloves. Let's have a look. (Ding) Patch: Excellent work. At this point, either family can win. Rolly, what's your answer? Rolly: An ice pack. Patch: We're looking for an ice pack. Our survey says... (Ding) Patch: Good work. Cadpig, I need another answer. Cadpig: Um, that jelly that the doctor puts all over your body. (laughter from audience) Patch: I don't know what kind of jelly that is that the doctor might put on you, but all right. For the clean sweep, and the win, let's see if that jelly is on the board. (Uh-uhhh!) No! It's not there, thank goodness. Two lives are gone. Burke family, your chance to steal may come up, so get ready. Tripod, it all comes down to you. What's your answer? Tripod: Um, what's that thing called? The glass thing the doctor puts in your mouth. The thing that takes you temperature. Patch (laughing): What?! You don't even know what it's called? (laughter from audience) Lucky: Hey, Tripod, it's called a thermometer!Tripod (shouting): A thermometer! I'll go with a thermometer! Patch: Okay! Again, for the clean sweep, and the win, let's have a look for a thermometer. The glass temperature thing that the doctor puts in your mouth. Whatever. (Uh-uhhh!) Patch: No! After all that trying to figure out what that glass temperature thing was, you've lost your last life. The Burke family now gets a chance to steal. Lawrence, what's your answer? Lawrence: A hammer. Patch (confused): A hammer? What?Lawrence: The doctor uses it to knock your knees. Patch: Okay. A hammer. Susan? Susan: A hammer. Patch: Oh, so that's gonna be your answer, too, huh? Harold? Harold: Hammer. Patch: Going along with them, are you? Margaret? Margaret: Hammer. Patch: Okay, that's all I'm hearing from here. Edward? Edward: You know what? I'm just gonna go with my family on a hammer. (large laughter from audience) Patch: Okay, then. This is very important. For the steal, and the win, let's have a look for the dreaded cold hammer. (Uh-uhhh!) Patch: It's not there!The Dearly family wins the money and the game! Let's see what that missing answer at number six was. (Ding) Patch: A spray. Well, Burke family, you had the lead all game, but the Dearly family came from out of nowhere and took the game away from you. But you won't leave here empty-handed. You're going back to Winchester with £229. Edward: Thanks a lot, Patch. Patch: Thank you, Edward, for bringing your family here. They've been absolutely brilliant, ladies and gentlemen. Let's give a big hand for the Burke family! (cheers and applause from audience) *** End of part six
