And then I was reminded of this priceless moment, which I also had the pleasure of actually seeing. A family of half-wits had somehow managed to get themselves through to the show’s climax, ‘Big Money’. A middle-aged bloke was second up to answer the five quick-fire questions. To his own amusement (but not to the amusement of his disgruntled family who, thanks to this chap, had to do without the £5,000 and the car / holiday) he gave the same answer three times in succession. One answer was good, one was okay (but wouldn’t be most people’s choice), and the other… well… see for yourself:
Something you take to the beach Turkey
Something you buy in a supermarket Turkey
Something you eat at Christmas Turkey

  1. My family, 3 sisters and an aunt, all nurses, were up against a family of firemen. Les Dennis, probably 1988?

    I was asked “Name something you would step on” I hit the button before I really thought about it, and instead of the split second answer “mat”, it came out as “man”!!!

    I have never lived it down. It was quite hilarious. I’ve been trying to find the episode as I lost my copy on VHS, several years ago!

    Any idea where I may find it?
