The most misleading Famous Five covers
While doing the worst covers I almost chose several which actually had good or at least reasonable artwork. I was picking them as terrible because they don’t match what actually happens in the book. There are various very generic covers … Continue reading
What Would Julian Do? The Religion of Julianity
I don’t even remember quite how this started, but in 2011 Stef and I created a Facebook page called Julianity. We’ve just scheduled it for deletion, actually, as it had been a very long time since we have posted anything … Continue reading

The Famous Five books have been in print for nearly 80 years now, and along the way they have appeared with a lot of different looks from the original Eileen Soper covers to TV tie-ins and famous illustrators. We will … Continue reading
Funniest Scenes from the 90s Famous Five
Especially in the second series of the 90s Famous Five, we had some cracking funny and cringe worthy moments. I thought we would have a look three of the best ones. 3. Uncle Quentin’s sandwiches in Five Run Away Together … Continue reading
Famous Five on TV
As we all know, there have been various adaptations of the Famous Five books for the TV and big Saturday afternoon screenings back in the fiftes, but I thought we’d just have a look at the reviews I’ve done over … Continue reading

Famous Five 90s Style: Five on a Treasure Island, part 2
Last week we looked into the first of the 1990s Famous Five episodes and actually it came out quite well in the grand scheme of the episodes. So shall we have a look at how part two shapes up compared … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five on a Treasure Island, part 1
For me, where it all began For many, Enid Blyton’s books were the beginning of their journey into the world of Blyton’s Famous Five, Secret Seven, Five Find-Outers and Adventure series and, yes, I did read Five Go to Mystery … Continue reading
A Guide to Blyton on TV and in film
This is a (roughly) chronological list of Enid Blyton’s works adapted for TV and film. I haven’t included stage or theatre productions unless they were filmed. I have tried to include information about who made the work, the cast, episode … Continue reading

Famous Five 90s Style: Five Are Together Again
Now the general consensus from Blytonites is that Five Are Together Again is one of the weakest series endings to come from Blyton, and that it really isn’t the best adventure the Five could have ended on. If you think … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Have a Mystery to Solve
Five have a Mystery Solve is somewhere in the middle of my rankings of the Famous Five stories. Its neither one thing or the other. It signals the end of the series and the downward curve it takes from there. … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Go to Demon’s Rocks
Five go to Demons Rocks is one of my favourite books and one of my first books as a child, although it was much later on in my life when I actually read the story. Again I see it as … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five on Finniston Farm
Five on Finniston Farm has to be one of my all time favourite adaptations in this TV series. It is possibly because I watched it when I was younger, and had the video on permanent loan from the library (my … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Get into a Fix
This episode is probably one of the furthest from the book you can get. It in the second series and it’s just a shame that the budget perhaps wasn’t big enough to provide the sort of snowy back drop that … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Go to Billycock Hill, part 2
I know there has been a break in the flow of my reviews of Five Go to Billycock Hill, for which I apologise, but when the break is made up of those gorgeously gooey macaroons, can you agree with me … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Go to Billycock Hill, part 1
Another two parter from series two, and we’re back to splitting the episodes again because I couldn’t find a block of 50 minutes to watch the two back to back (this week has been crazy busy) but I’ll walk you … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five on a Secret Trail
Five on a Secret Trail is a hard to find episode, especially on video cassette. A limited number of video tapes were released with this episode in the 1990s from the retailer WHSmith. Thus when the likes of eBay was … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Have Plenty of Fun
It has been a bit of a week for things not being set in stone. Tuesday night when she was due to write her blog, Fiona’s internet went down and I was supposed to be our Tuesday night but as … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Go to Mystery Moor
Time to move away from two parters for a short while, and look now at a 25 minute adaptation of Five Go to Mystery Moor. Mystery Moor is one my favourite books and in fact was the first one I … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Go Down to the Sea, part 1
Five Go Down to the Sea is another two part adventure in the 90s Famous Five listing. A lot of the second series were two parters and not usually for the better but that said, Five Go Down to the … Continue reading
