In each episode, two families competed for the chance to win £100,000. At the start of the episode, each family was given £100,000. The families would then go head-to-head in a series of challenges. As the rounds were being played, the amount of money in each family's balance would decrease.
Each round involved a giant button. This was used for different things in different games, such as starting or ending a timer.
Series 1 consisted of 6 episodes and launched with 7.25m viewers. It ended its run with 4.34m. The second series of 8 episodes began with 5.85m and ended with 3.92m.
