Not sure how well this will go but I’ve had another idea for a quiz.
For this quiz, the question setter gives three sentences in first-person tense that point to the answer. A riddle of sorts.
The clues can be simple or cryptic but they MUST be decipherable based on the clues alone.
For example:
I am a film [movie]
I involve a superhero [superhero movie]
I span multiple planets [galaxy]
Answer: Guardians of the Galaxy
Or:
I listen to people [bug - insect]
I am annoying [bugging]
I am not male [lady]
Answer: ladybird
Additional clues can of course be given if need be, but the answer must be discernible from the initial clues.
The first clue:
I am a TV series
I give thanks
I am from the 80s

Has to be Giraffe because of the tower clue.
Haven't heard the slang, but I guess having a giraffe means having a laugh in Cockney?
