Christmas Mega WordJumble - UK TV Series PART 2

[pgn]

Welcome all, to a slightly less eye-crossing chance for the Forum’s 2022 Festive Frivolities to continue!

Come join the fun!

You have the jumbled-up titles of 67 UK TV Series - which could be from the usual channels or any of the streaming channels, eg. Netflix, Amazon, HBO, BritBox, etc. You have how many words, and letters per word, for each, in brackets (similar to any standard crossword puzzle). Each show or series, current or past, has been selected from the top 250 shows titles ranked by popularity.

The rules are simple:

1. Unjumble the words and letters to find the name of the TV series in question
2. Give me the full series title you’ve found, and the line number for it
3. Then give someone else a chance, and repeat

I'll update progress at intervals during the day, and will compile a leader-board at completion.

Tagging in the usual suspects: @Cleoriff @jonsie @Mi-Amigo @J9el @BobM @Bambino @MI5 @Spenny @RafaC @Breanna @Comben 

Go for it! And I hope the naughty word checker leaves the jumbles alone 😁

Here's the final roundup and the answers and anagrams, minus the single typo that snuck through the rigourous quality control (actually, proofreader said the anagrams were jumbling her brain, so gave up - the jumble very nearly did not see the light of day 😂).

Hope everyone enjoyed that, thanks for taking part - and as Christmas is on the wane, and Santa leaves the building, I wish you all the best for 2023, just around the corner.

[BobM]

Quite a game @pgn - thanks for arranging and running that one.

Pity I'd to bow out for a bit but made it back for the finale. 

Well done all who took part. 👍

[Mi-Amigo]

Great game @pgn - despite the few problems.

Well done, everyone - especially @Cleoriff who is the Queen [or Lioness ?] of Word Scramble 😀

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo and @BobM - and I think definitely "lioness" 😹

It's nice to have a puzzle format that everyone enjoys, and Word Grids seem not to be everybody's cup of tea - hence the Mega WordJumble for round 2 was born - and I was unsure how well jumbling the letters into groups that kinda made sense when read out aloud would work out. Or, for that matter, how the overly-sensitive Forum Naughty Word Filter would handle some of the words!

Thank goodness it is over now though - time for a large mug of tea and a gingerbread man here now!
