Nicknames for tv shows

[Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain]

Just for fun. Do you have shortcuts nicknames for anything? When I see my mum and Who Wants to be a Millionaire is on we always call it Millionaire. Plus we love Jeremy clarkson.

Eastenders is known as DeadEnders

We call I’m a celebrity get me out of here. Jungle

Taxi across Canada - for one of the RATW series.

Just to clarify, that's Race Across the World.

I get irrationally incensed by cryptic initials in posts, and realise that not everyone watches that programme.

This is a throwback to the early 2000’s but Home and Away was always ‘Homers’.

Hahah that is very true of that season! We just call it Race in our house very boring

I don't think I have any currently other than the standard shortenings. But I used to call that Gillian McKeith thing where she inspected tupperwares of human shite 'How Clean is Your Arse?'.

Any televised England cricket match is known as 'the imminent collapse' in this house. As in 'do you mind if I turn over to the imminent collapse?' He knows instantly what I'm planning on watching.

Murder she Wrote is called Murder she Caused

We call Eastenders, Misery.

We used to call it 'Gillian's shit in a a box.'

We used to call Masterchef, MasterShout, but that was when Gregg hosted it. Not sure what we'll be likely to call it now.

Bake Off is Cake Off
Antiques Roadshow is Medals and Crying

We used to call Game of Thrones “Dragon Tits” and were then astonished when the characters in Peep Show called it the exact same thing! Perhaps we were sat next to the writers in the pub one night.

Death in Paradise is simply ‘Death in’ but said as one word

We always now refer to Eastenders as 'Market Shouting' - after a word cloud game describing it on House of Games (ROHOG) where those two words were the most prominent, and Richard Osman suggested that it would be a better name for it!

"Small Children Getting Hurt" - You've Been Framed
"Curly-Wurlies" (shortened from 'Find the Curly-Wurlies') - Four in a Bed

'Ranty Vision' is our name for Question Time.

'SHOUTY OAF!' was Inside the Factory when Gregggg Wallace was on. We call it 'LOUD NORTHERNER!' now. Can't remember his name but we know who we mean.

We renamed the gameshow The Finish Line as 'Santa's Super Sleigh' in our house, as we thought it was just a much better name!

Game of Thrones is known by loads of people as Tits and Dragons, that’s pretty normal tbh.

We call Long Lost Family, 'Who's Your Mum?'. To such an extent it's taken me 10 minutes to remember the real title.

A bit of an oldie, but a friend used to call Dawsons Creek Dawson's crack because they were all full of shit.

Any show (and there are many) with Drew and Jonathan Scott doing a renovation is called the Twins Show.

Back in the day when Top Gear was presented by Clarkson and BBC Sunday night viewing, it was known in this house as 'Car Wankers'.

An old one, but the police drama 'Between the Lines' became 'Between the Sheets' due to the amount of bed hoping and bedroom scenes. Call the Midwife is now 'Call Dr Turner'- self explanatory for those who have watched it from the beginning. Lots more I cannot think of right now.
