Welcome all, to another eye-crossing chance for the Forum’s 2022 Festive Frivolities to continue!
Come join the fun!
Hidden in a straight line across, up, down or diagonally (backwards as well as forwards) in the grid below are 68 UK TV Series - which could be from the usual channels or any of the streaming channels, eg. Netflix, Amazon, etc. Each show or series, current or past, has been selected from the top 250 shows titles ranked by popularity.
The rules are simple:
I'll update the grid at intervals during the day, and will compile a leader-board at completion.
In the spirit of Christmas, the first one is a freebie:
GHOSTS K22-F17
Have at it - only 67 series titles more to go!
The proof-readers (yes!) found three extra words that are not actual UK TV Series - watch out!

I confess you have me beat. I have no idea what the answers are to the last five [even with clues] and can`t find any more words in the grid. Brilliant game and tested me. 😁
