Here are the rules: We will provide an "alternate title" for a classic television series and ask you to name the actual show. Most of these are pretty easy. Please answer no more than three questions per day so others can play. You may have an answer other than the intended one--just be able to defend it! Note that the alternate title may be a variation of the original title or plot description. For this month's edition, all the answers will be British TV series.1. The Tracy Boys.
2. Irene and Soames.
3. The Himalayan Powers.
4. Nampara.
5. The Village.
6. Man With a Halo.
7. Regan & Carter.

ReplyDeleteThat's correct! It's the name of Ross's home.
