Fun Rerun [BB313]
Treat yourself to an early Birdbrain this weekend – my way of saying I’ll be posting the Storm results a little later. (Am up in Sydney for a few days, mostly unwired.) Anyway, so what’s the deal with these twelve clues…?
Let me explain. Twelve British sitcoms, both past and present, have been paraphrased. Blokes Skylarking, say, is Men Behaving Badly. Please cordially identify the others.
And why not paraphrase some other TV shows in the forum? Pick the better known, just to give us all a shot. And see if we can’t unmask the lot.
