The Famous Five Return...erm.... Twice

Yes the popular sleuth quintet created by Enid Blyton is set to be "reimagined" as middle-aged grown-ups in a new TV drama for adults. Julian, Dick, Anne, George - with a descendant of the original Timmy the dog - will be reunited 30 years after their original exploits. In the television series, the characters will be in their forties and drawn together to solve complex contemporary mysteries. What can you do but laugh and secretly look forward to it I used to always have to watch the old tv show due to my sisters though I did always like their torches at the time which were like chunky contempory pieces for the boys and little dinky ones for the girls....yes we had little to amuse us back then....

But alas will the good news never end for a new Famous Five animated TV series, chronicling the Kirrin Island kids in a 21st century setting, is also currently in co-production with Disney. It is set to be broadcast on Disney Channel in the UK in the spring of 2008. I have to say I'm looking forward to both.,..yes I admit it...but more to the first one I just so know George ended up a lesbian and Dick could have serious issues as a direct result of his past traumas lol
