The pic below is of the West Cliff Hall Hotel in Hythe, Hampshire, taken c1982. The Owls Dene kitchen scenes in Five get into trouble, were filmed at the Hotel.

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series

Two pics of Gatewood House, near Exbury Village, showing the lovely back garden. The house was used in a few episodes & was also the base for Gary, Marcus, Michele & Jennifer during season 2 filming. :D https://image.ibb.co/n7wYHJ/image.jpg https://image.ibb.co/gTCUrd/image.jpg Was the inte...

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series

Thank you, Helenbee. Nice to hear from you. Again, I must stress that although I did a lot of probing by e-mail, etc, it was the chaps at the Southampton City Council who came up with the goods. Ok, I suppose I had to trawl through hundreds of old photos, maps & contact various organisations to...

Re: 1970s series incidental music.

I'm so sorry. I am meant to be time-stamping all of the incidental music for each episode. But I am now studying two postgraduate degrees so time is extremely limited. And yet at the same time, I am playing episodes of the "Famous Five" in the background! Oh and can someone please answer m...

Re: Jenny Thanisch/Child Actors

Belated birthday wishes to Jenny! Hey does anyone know if 'Five go adventuring again' was filmed before 'Five on Kirrin Island'? The 6th story (on Kirrin Island) was made into the first in the late 1970s TV series. But I have a feeling it was filmed sometime AFTER the 2nd story (with Mr. Roland and ...
