Famous Five 90s Style: Five Fall Into Adventure
I, like Fiona, have not managed to bring you the promised blog this week. I really need two weeks head start to finish a book in time at the moment and what with one thing and another (extra shifts at … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Get Into Trouble
This book is one of the more complex books when you get down to the characters and in a ways, although thrilling, the plot is sort of secondary. The characters and their interactions are what makes up for most of … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Go Off to Camp
Five Go Off to Camp is one of my favourite adaptations of the books. Overall it doesn’t leave too much out and the acting is very good. There is the fact that Jock is probably older than I would have … Continue reading

Famous Five 90s Style: Five On Kirrin Island Again
I think that by far Five on Kirrin Island Again is the most faithful adaptation of the books in the 90s repertoire. Apart from the usual issue of it being a little rushed, the story is pretty much all intact, complete … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Go Off in a Caravan
In my humble opinion the 90s TV adaptation of Five Go Off in a Caravan is probably one of the worst one given that in our first glimpsed of the Five, we can clearly see that Julian is hobbling along on … Continue reading
Monday
Spring is definitely here in Scotland – we’ve had sunshine most of the week and the daffodils and other spring flowers are out in force. Some of our wonderful contributors have also come out of hibernation and that means we have … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Run Away Together
A couple of weeks ago, I brought you a review of Five Go Adventuring Again, remarking on how the story line worked and the acting. I hope to do the same with Five Run Away Together. This story was filmed … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Go Adventuring Again
So it has been absolutely ages since I posted anything about the Famous Five TV series, and when I did, I think I made it utterly confusing. Which had helped when coming back to the decision to write about the … Continue reading
Our 500th Post!
So, this is our 500th post! In just over two years we’ve managed to bring you 500 blogs. How amazing is that? I hope you’re all still enjoying the blog, having fun reading the stories and reviews. We hope we’ll … Continue reading
Lazy Monday
Well as you all know Fiona has been down, staying with me this week. We haven’t been too exciting, because we’ve had such lovely weather we’ve just wanted to relax in it. However we have been to see Jemima Rooper in … Continue reading
The Famous Five TV Series: Even More (Funny) Captions
The captions I put on a fortnight ago seemed to go down well so I thought I would put some more on this week (as I couldn’t think of anything else to do!) Firstly, carrying on from last week’s leaning … Continue reading
The Famous Five 90s Series: Some More (Funny) Captions
A while back I posted these, and so for today I thought I’d post a few more funnies to do with the 90s Famous Five series. First up is a lengthy one entitled A study of Famous Five covers. I … Continue reading

Monday Monday Monday!
Another week into the New Year, where is it going?! It seems to be heading by so fast already! Anyway, this last week, we reached a tremendous new score for our most viewed day. We went up from 298 to … Continue reading
World of Blyton Exclusive Interview with JEMIMA ROOPER
We’ve had this lurking in our drafts for a little while, and we’ve been so excited it was hard to keep it a secret. But finally, to make that first week back at work more bearable, here is our exclusive … Continue reading
The Famous Five 90s Series: Some (Funny) Captions
It’s not what I promised for this week but circumstances (ie me not feeling well,) have led me to throw this together quickly. I’d like to say there’s a story behind these captions, but other than “Stef and I were … Continue reading

Just Another Manic Monday
Time certainly is hurtling past us at a fair speed of knots and I, for one, wish it wouldn’t! We are less than two weeks away from Easter, the clocks still haven’t gone forward and we have hardly had a … Continue reading
