The Moment of Truth (British game show)


The Moment of Truth is a British game show based on the original Japanese version called Happy Family Plan. It aired on ITV from 5 September 1998 to 29 September 2001 and is hosted by Cilla Black.

Format

Each week, 3 families would get a chance to win fabulous prizes from Cilla's "Dream Directory". These would typically be cars, holidays, televisions etc. and each member of the family would pick a prize that they wanted. However, to earn the prize, one member of the family, usually Mum or Dad but occasionally an older child, has to perform a very tricky task. They are given seven days to practice it, but when they arrive at the studio the next week they have one chance to get it "right on the night". If they do, they win the prizes they chose. If they don't, they lose the prizes they chose.
Unlike the original Japanese version, if the nominated family member fails in the task then the younger children are given a consolation prize appropriate for this.
