Show Information

Episode one: 27 October, 2007

Kym Ryder vs. Brian Dowling

The series opened up with Coronation Street actress Kym Ryder up against Big Brother winner Brian Dowling. In the Big Money round, Brian was asked "Name a type of bean?", after initially saying "baked", which was already said by his friend Kris, he then said "lesbian." The producers displayed the answer as "Les Bean."

Episode two: 3 November, 2007

Holly Willoughby vs. Eamonn Holmes

Week two saw popular TV presenter Holly Willoughby facing famous breakfast TV host Eamonn Holmes and his clan of brothers. When asked to name something a women does to make herself more attractive, to steal, Eamonn first mentioned a new wardrobe then followed with sexy underwear, it still turned out as the third most popular answer. For the second consecutive week, no prize money was awarded in the Big Money round. All four rounds saw the top answer to each question found first, gaining the family control of the board. The Willoughby family found their top answers in the first three rounds before the Holmes family got theirs in the final round.

Episode three: 10 November, 2007

Angela Griffin vs. Antony Worrall Thompson

Former Coronation Street actress Angela Griffin against famed chef Antony Worrall Thompson was this week's battle which finally saw the first family to win the Big Money round in this series. This was also only the second time the top money was won after Jimmy Osmond had achieved the same feat in the first series, which was also in the third week of the series in that year.

Episode four: 17 November, 2007

Louisa Lytton vs. Zoe Ball

It was a battle of the girls this time around. Ex-EastEnders actress, and now The Bill actress Louisa Lytton was up against TV presenter Zoe Ball. In Big Money, Louisa was asked to name someone you would call in an emergency, she said her mum, and ironically, despite losing the round, it still contributed 18 points to her final score. Doubly ironically (considering she's now in The Bill), the top answer was Police.

Episode five: 24 November, 2007

Sammy Winward vs. Kyran Bracken

The two celebrities this week were former England rugby player Kyran Bracken and Emmerdale star Sammy Winward. The Big Money round this week saw the highest amount of points scored in the first set of answers as Kyran's sister, Louise, scored 181 points from her five answers, considering that in the first Double Money round, she answered Lightning Man to the question, name someone who works in the dark.

Episode six: 1 December, 2007

Kirsty Gallacher vs Stephen Mulhern

This week it was the turn of popular children's TV presenter and magician Stephen Mulhern and TV host Kirsty Gallacher. In a surprising event, Stephen's family won the game on the final Big Money when Stephen answered "Private Parts" to the question, name something you keep in your trousers, and it turned out to be the remaining answer on the board.

Episode seven: 8 December, 2007

Jenni Falconer vs. Ben Richards

Competing against each other this week were GMTV presenter Jenni Falconer and The Bill actor Ben Richards, who also starred in Footballers' Wives.

Episode eight: 15 December, 2007

Claire King vs. Edith Bowman

Another all-girl battle this week, as former Emmerdale actress Claire King faced BBC Radio 1 DJ, Edith Bowman. One of the missing answers revealed in the second round of Single Money (the question was Name a game you play in Bed?) was PlayStation, to which host Vernon Kay responded, "Have we been surveying the nunnery?" and also added, "I've got better things to do with my hands in bed."

Episode nine: 25 December, 2007

Episode ten: 5 January, 2008
