The format promises a perfect combination of head and heart, delivering both terrific stories and 'edge of the seat' gameplay.
5 Star Family Reunion (working title) will see a UK family and their long-lost overseas relatives working together, both from the studio and over satellite link, to win a once-in-a-lifetime reunion in a five-star location.
Overseas, the family must answer questions to win as much time as they possibly can for the family in studio. That’s because the four in studio will individually face questions against the show’s high-tension timer in a bid to put money in the bank and bring everyone together. If they can prove themselves under pressure, then they are in for the reunion of a lifetime. 5 Star Family Reunion will premiere on BBC One later this year and will be hosted by Nick Knowles.
Five Star Family Reunion is executive produced by Michael Mannes for 12 Yard and Ronw Protheroe for Boom Cymru. It was commissioned by Charlotte Moore, Controller of BBC one and Alan Tyler, Executive Editor, Entertainment Commissioning for the BBC.
Alan Tyler, Executive Editor, Entertainment Commissioning, BBC says: “We are delighted to be working with 12 Yard and Boom Cymru to bring 5 Star family reunion to a BBC One audience. The format promises a perfect combination of head and heart, delivering both terrific stories and 'edge of the seat' gameplay.”
