FAMILY Fortunes' iconic surveys could be brought quite literally in house as the show plans a re-boot during the coronavirus pandemic.

family-friendly quiz series, which features two teams of families battling it out, could well make a major comeback after last being seen on screen in 2015, according to Deadline.The website claims producer Thames is collaborating with ITV to film the show in two houses, as opposed to a studio, with cameramen and the hosts adhering to strict social distancing rules imposed by the UK Government.

It suggests "a presenter will be stationed at a third location" while everyone will be filmed "using remote outside broadcast technology," according to the site. The aim of the game sees contestants guess popular responses to surveys on 100 people on a specific subject - a format which could work well outside the studio, yet this is purely potential for a pilot, and very early days.

Deadline sources suggest the "feel good" programme, which first aired in 1980, is the perfect tonic for the apprehension and anxiety felt during the global pandemic.Publication Deadline has reported ITV bosses are looking at filming the show from home
