Re: "Five Fall into Adventure"
Just re-watched this today. One of the best of the entire series. Agree that Markoff is deeply sinister, absolutely horrible in fact - in 1979 he gave a couple of my friends nightmares. The actor died a few months later. Red Tower actor was in Softly Softly Taskforce. Welsh Sergeant. Not likeable th...

Re: Favourite Barney Mystery
Just started a re-read today. First two chapters of Rockingdown. Will vote when I finish the lot. It is amazing that so many lines (of lots of Enid's books) are familar when I read them again. Various descriptions, quotes and character traits bring me back to the ages of 10 and 11 when I was devouri...

Re: FF - Downhill after Hike?
It makes for interesting reading Nick. Good idea about compiling a definitive list.
Even at this early stage I guess that Five Are Together Again will finish in the relegation zone (bottom three).

Re: Noddy - 1975
This particular adaptation of Noddy [with Richard Briers narration] was repeated well into the 1980s. It seems to have vanished off the radar now.

Re: Agatha Christie
I re-read The Clocks and The ABC Murders lately - very satisfying.
I find Curtain to be a powerful work; very engrossing.
Roger Ackroyd has to be up there too.

Re: The Secret Island
Are there any editions of The Secret Island that should be avoided ? [re-writes / edits]
I am searching for a 1965 Armada but will settle for later editions if one proves elusive.

The Secret Island - Armada 1965
Have managed to source replacement copies of all the mid 60s Armada "2/6" Secret series aside from the first one.
Does anybody have a spare for reasonable money
Thank you.
