Successor to the wartime show Forces Favourites, Family Favourites (also known as Two-Way Family Favourites) was broadcast at Sunday lunchtimes on the BBC Light Programme, BBC Radio 2 and the British Forces Broadcasting Service until 1980. It was a request programme designed to link families at home in the UK with British troops serving in West Germany or elsewhere overseas.

It had the memorable signature tune "With A Song in My Heart" (original played by Andre Kostelanetz and his Orchestra) and was presented by a variety of well-known radio personalities including Cliff Michelmore, Jean Metcalfe, Michael Aspel and Sarah Kennedy. Its final presenter was Jean Challis.
