It doesn’t happen all that often but there is Enid Blyton related news this week!
The BBC have announced a new Famous Five adaptation which, apparently, is already being filmed! There will be 3 90 minute episodes and it will be created and produced by Nicolas Winding Refn. There’s very little else been advertised about it so far – other than words like modern, progressive and reinterpret being thrown around.
Will it be one book in three parts, or three books with one part each? Either way, which book(s) will feature?
Who has been cast?
When will it be on TV?
So many questions and literally no answers – yet.
But here’s a fun opinion on the incongruous choice of creator (I keep the blog family friendly but this article contains brief descriptions of violent and sexual scenes in movies).
Letters to Enid 32
and
Five On a Treasure Island: The Graphic Novel
In celebration of this news why not revisit some of the fun of the best Famous Five adaptation to date and have a laugh with some hopefully funny captions.

World of Blyton 
I didn’t care for the 1970’s modernized FF TV series, so most likely I won’t watch this new series. I prefer the remake TV series from the 1990’s, because it finally takes place when the books were written, in the 1940’s and 1950’s. It has the right feel for me. Even George looks like George on the Soper illustrations.
