All Star Family Fortunes

Vernon Kay brings together chef Jean‑Christophe Novelli and antiques expert David Dickinson, who join forces with their family members in a competition. Together they aim to secure a prize of up to £30,000 for a charity they support in the show.

Vernon Kay hosts a special television episode that brings together two well‑known personalities: chef Jean‑Christophe Novelli and antiques expert David Dickinson. Both are asked to join forces with members of their own families, creating mixed teams that will take part in the show’s central challenge. The programme’s format is built around Kay’s invitation, setting the scene for a collaborative effort between the culinary world, the world of antiques and each participant’s relatives. The heart of the episode lies in the competition between these family‑linked teams, each striving to secure a cash prize that can reach as high as £30,000. The amount is not for personal gain; instead, the winning team will be able to donate the sum to a charitable organisation of their choosing. This charitable aim gives the contest a purpose beyond mere entertainment, linking the participants’ skills and teamwork directly to a cause they support. Throughout the broadcast, the emphasis remains on the partnership between Novelli, Dickinson and their relatives, all under Kay’s guidance. By combining their respective expertise with the help of family members, they aim to achieve the maximum possible donation for their selected charity, making the episode a blend of competition, collaboration and philanthropy.
