Just two weeks until Christmas now, and I’ve still got plenty of Christmassy content to go!
Malory Towers on TV: The Christmas Specials
and
Enid Blyton’s Christmas Stories then and now part 7
Probably not news to anyone who’s read a TV guide recently, but the first new Famous Five episode – The Curse of Kirrin Island – aired at the weekend. I didn’t watch it myself, but I plan to soon. So far the reviews and comments I have seen have been moderately positive, but most have said that while it was a reasonably enjoyable children’s show, it had little in common with any Famous Five story. I haven’t seen any outright scathing reviews, so perhaps those who have watched it so far have been the kind to go in with an open mind.

Hi Fiona, do I understand correctly;
the 1st episode “The Curse of Kirrin Island” has been aired last weekend on CBCC?
If so, it’s a pitty, I can only receive BBC1, BBC2, BBCFirst in NL.
And the BBC iPlayer only works in the UK.
So I not able to watch it unfortunately.
Have to wait until the series is broadcast on Dutch or Belgium television.
Regards
H.
