The Nicknames Game {2}


This is second game of its type, the first one can be found here. This might be a little more difficult than the last Nickname Game but hopefully not too hard. 

To Play: Read the clues below and leave a comment guessing what period drama each clue is talking about. I'll hopefully respond with your score. Answers will be posted next week.

Scoring: One point for each correctly guessed period drama. A total of 10 points can be earned.


Period Drama Nicknames:

#1. In this period drama series the heroine's slip of the tongue sticks so she calls her future husband "Manly". He calls her "Beth" after her middle name of Elizabeth.

#3. In this period drama a family friend is called after his surname but the heroine calls him "Teddy".
