Notes

Airing twice weekly, this early version of the 'Family Feud' formula pitted two families against each other. Original host Don Spencer became a regular Playschool presenter and went on to become a successful children's entertainer; his daughter Danielle was a successful model who married actor Russell Crowe. Spencer left the series after the first two months and was replaced by newsreader and TV presenter Earle Bailey, who was the grandson of former PM Sir Earle Page. Bailey went on to host this show's replacement, Tell The Truth. Producer Collins had previously produced and presented other Ten network shows including the chat show Ten On The Town.
