Cryptic TV Show Game - TV Programmes

scorer · 03-06-2008, 14:59

I don't know if this has ever been done in the TV forum but I'm giving it a go.

All you have to do is solve the clue to find a TV show.

First person to get the right answer or if you think you have and the OP is not on line sets the next clue.

Here goes.

Nice easy one to start with.

Rude Gabriel.

Blue Peter.

OK, how about this (a bit cryptic):

Nun runs around, covered with snow we hear, to give a private show! (3, 5, 7)

The Three Stooges?

scorer · 03-06-2008, 16:05

If that is right here is a new clue:

Standing above the dads.

Alright don't bite my head off I was just giving an answer.

I try to start what is suppose to be a fun thread and people take it seriously.

I don't know why I bother.

scorer · 03-06-2008, 16:55

The Frost Report(s)

You could have at least tried to explain it.

I looked on Google and it was the only TV show with 3, 5 and 7 letters long I could find.

The OP says it's wrong though so the next best thing I could find to match the clue was The Frost Report which is 1 letter short.

Carras, Top of the Pops is right.

Blue Peter was also right though I never confirmed it was until now.

Why should Scorer explain the answer given, it is a guessing after all and a bit of fun.

The rules are pretty clear at the top of the page clear so if you think you are right or it takes more than 10 minutes for the OP to confirm whether it's right or wrong you can put a new clue.

Not everyone can be on here 24 hours a day.

As I got Scorers second clue right here is a new clue.

10, 9, 8, 7............

Because it might help others understand how someone got the name of a programme from the cryptic clue if it isn't so obvious what the answer is.Considering Scorer gave the answer "The 3 Stooges" i was intrested in how he came to that conclusion.That's all

Thanks for letting me know that it's abit of fun.I'll sleep easy tonight knowing that.
