Here's the wording the IPO used in their response to me:

The test of a series is NOT simply whether the marks in the series would be regarded as confusingly similar to each other if used by unrelated undertakings. Any variation in the non-distinctive features in the marks must leave the visual, aural and conceptual identity of each of the trade marks substantially the same.”

 

Sounds like a prime candidate for the Plain English campaign imho
