Looking at The Famous Five Annual 2016, part 2
On to the second half of the annual this week. The first half is reviewed here. You can also see my review of the first annual from 2014 here and here, and then the 2015 one here and here. A TOUR … 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
Looking at The Famous Five Annual 2016, part 1
In what has become an ‘annual’ tradition I will look at the current year’s annual in two parts. (Apologies for the bad pun.) You can see my review of the first annual from 2014 here and here, and then the … Continue reading
What Blyton products we would like to see in 2016
After the joys of Christmas and the new year have left us and that January gloom has set in, let us get back to the consumerism that we’ve all been trying to avoid in the longest pay month in the … Continue reading

The Famous Five Stationery
I was treated to all three items of stationery in December. (I have a huge desire to mis-spell it as stationary every time I type that, despite knowing how wrong it is.) They came out in September last year and … 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
2015 birthday and Christmas present round up
I can say I was truly spoiled last year, and I was lucky enough to get a whole pile of Blyton gifts between my birthday and Christmas. I will most like end up reviewing them all in-depth at some point, … 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
Making Blyton’s Food: Fresh and gooey macaroons!
Fresh and gooey macaroons! What Enid Blyton fan doesn’t hanker after macaroons? Whether you’re a Find-Outer or a Famous Fiver, macaroons centre deeply within these books, and are mentioned time and time again and they leave us youngsters wondering; “What … 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
Five Have a Mystery to Solve: An exciting dramatised adventure
This is the last of the CDs that I have, and I’ve left this one to last as it’s one of my least favourite Fives. It’s hard to say why. Something to do with how un-Fiveish it is for them … 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
The Famous Five Adventure Game book 2 as played by Fiona
Based on Five Go Adventuring Again this seems to be partly a book and partly a game. It’s not quite like the ones where you create your own story by choosing what direction to go in, as it’s based on an … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Have a Wonderful Time, part 2
After promising you this blog last week and failing to write it, I hope you don’t mind me bringing you the second part of Five have a Wonderful Time, part 2. Part 1 can be found here if you need to refresh … Continue reading
Famous Five 90s Style: Five Have a Wonderful Time, part 1
I have decided to do Five Have a Wonderful Time in two parts, because it is a two-part episode and because I think that this adaptation needs to be looked at in two different chunks. A lot of character development … Continue reading
