    @ Splunge: In red? They're highlighted in white for me. Just a guess, but I think Chas used them as keywords for the search.

    O, and, thanks for the rules, Chas. :)

    Waiting for Aldazar's verdict.

    I would assume it's because he used the search facility to find those threads using those keywords. In case you have never used the search facility, it highlights the words you were searching for in the threads it returns.

    Oh yea. I see all the red. These were from my using the search to find the posts.

    So, How do I 'capture' a link to the posts after I find them via a search so I can post a link that will not have red words all over the place?

    I would imagine all you have to do is remove the "&highlight=..." part of the URL.

    [Yup. -Tal]

    Thanks for the explanation guys.

    Loreseeker, since 24 hours have passed since you made yoyr guess, and Aldazar hasn't responded, you can assume you're correct and post a clue of your own. (This way the game can keep moving rather than waiting for days for someone to show up.)

    Thanks for the explanation, Splunge.

    Here's my clue:

    A child (in the later episodes of the show) has the charming initials D.D.T.


    EDIT: (Monday 3:00 pm)
    Since it's been nearly 24 hours, here's another clue:

    "This time next year, we'll be millionaires." (The show is British, by the way.)

    To be honest, I expected someone to guess this one rather fast, but anyway, here's another clue:

    The show is a comedy.
    Del and Rodney live in Peckham.

    Trotters Trading

    That would be 'Only Fools and Horses' then.

    What do I do now, give a clue to a TV prog, hmmmm...

    How about, in Hong Kong it was known as 'The Kato Show', but what was it really called?

    @Arcless - welcome to the Boards! (and the game) :)

    Just a bit of a note on the rules - you're supposed to wait for confirmation from the original poster that your guess is correct. If you're absolutely sure you're right, you can go, but generally we wait anyway.

    Anyway, assuming you're right, I'll guess that yours is The Green Hornet

    Just confirming the guess Arcless made.
    It was indeed "Only Fools and Horses..." :)

    Yep - the Green Hornet

    Well done Loreseaker, Thought that was likely to be a bit harder to work out.

    Thanks for the welcome.:)

    Sorry to jump the Gun, I was up late lastnight (my timeframe) and as you said was sure of my answer; your go.

    Huh. And here all along, I thought my name was Splunge. :p

    OK, next round:

    This show's opening theme started with a burning map.

    Sorry, Splunge - you of course got the correct answer.

    And also apologies to Loreseeker - misspelt your moniker :(

    Regarding Burning Map:

    That has just got to be Bonanza, a simple tale of the Cartwright Family in the American West

    Leapt in with both feet!

    [​IMG] Okay so I saw this thread and thought I'd have a go.

    What I don't know is the fundamental rules, this being 'Name the Prog 8'. So I'll offer up a clue for a prog that may not have got out of UK TV to the rest of the World, if that contravenes any particular rule tell me and I'll come up with something else - fair enough.:D

    A Detective Series, but one of them is dead!

    [​IMG] Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)?

    Marty was hilarious.
    (If I am right, I loved that show, and it did get out of the UK, I saw it in Serbia.)

    [​IMG] Yep, well done Loremaster but did you ever see the version done a few years ago with Reeves and Mortimer the British Comedy Duo.

    It was a great tribute to the original, they played it straight with just the original tint of humour.

    Anyway over to you, looking forward to your clue.

    Sorry Loreseeker (not Loremaster), still getting used to this.

    Here's my clue:

    Sydney works for the Centre. Jacob used to work there.

    @Arcless: No, I didn't see it.
