'' was a very long-running
British Game Show , based on the
American game show ''
Family Feud ''. The programme began on
ITV on
January 6 1980 and ran until 2002. The difference in the show title is because the producers thought the word "
Feud " too confrontational in the U.K. cultural context.
In March
2006 , due to popular demand, a new series by the same name entered production after four years off the air. It was originally produced by
ATV , then by
Central Television and finally by
Carlton , who had acquired Central.
