The audience and the host shout out the names of the prizes, especially in later series, allowing the contestants to carry away large numbers of items. This led to an affectionate joke: "Dinner service.fondue set.Cuddly toy! Cuddly toy!", which is sometimes quoted when the show is mentioned. A trademark of the show is that a cuddly toy is always among the prizes. Originally, this was scored the same way in the first rounds, but when Davidson took over, the winner was decided by an audience vote.Īt the end of the show, one member (both members during the second Forsyth era) of the victorious team watches prizes pass on a conveyor belt, and wins as many as could be recalled in 45 seconds (20 seconds per teammate during the second Forsyth era), with some items awarding a bonus prize if the contestant or team recalls that item. The couple that scores the highest go through to the final 'conveyor belt'.

This is often a big set-piece performance in the series presented by Bruce Forsyth it was usually a drama or farce, in later programmes a musical or dance performance. The two highest-scoring couples compete against each other in the final (or End Game as Larry Grayson called it). At the end of each of the first two rounds, the couple with the lower score is eliminated. The other game usually involves more of a quiz element, such as identifying pieces of music.
The contestants attempt to do the same, and a score is given by the professional.

One game usually involves first seeing a skilled professional construct or perform something, such as pottery or dancing. In the first two rounds, two couples compete against each other in two games. Sometimes aunt/nephew and uncle/niece played.
Most of the time it was mother/son, father/daughter. The couples were a generation apart and in later series, but not originally, of different genders. There are eight competitors, hence the catchphrase "Let's meet the eight who are going to generate" used in earlier series by Bruce Forsyth.
