Wow! Thanks for thisNick.

I'm in the area too - a bit wet the past 24 hours though

Will get to Burley and have a look. Fingers crossed the weather clears. We're in a tent!

Hello Poxy!! I sent the original message here a couple months back. My partner and I cycling through and staying in this area in May this year! I'd love more info from what you posted already. Share? :P Please do PM me if easier, as I will you. My message /post above Pete. Cheers and hoorah! Marc

Albeit in a similar style I don't recall this being used in the serie, S1 or S2.

Thanks for the link though! Nice to see more of this classic incidental music is being uploaded and appreciated

Hi and merry Xmas! To answer your question directly. The NZ/Aus release is not worth buying. It's basically VHS converted to DVD. See the previous threads here on this. The UK version is being made in conjunction with Moviemax who did a complete cleanup/upgrade of the series in 2010. I was involved ...

This came in from my contacts at Moviemax GmbH. Looks like the imminent UK release will feature the cleaned up footage. Fingers crossed for Bluray also. It's the extras which are the most intriguing!! :) "Licensor Moviemax announced that the UK rights have been granted to the original series fr...

I assumed as much re the Aus/NZ release. I contacted the German company and they said no one approached them about utilizing their enhanced HD footage. The packaging states their are extras. Surely this is false advertising as there seems to be none going by comments above. The cost is def too high ...

It's a shame none of these new releases are being produced on Bluray. I was involved in the German release late last year and I have to say the image results are startling. It may have the perpetual English subtitles but I'm still very happy to have the full 1080p image upgrade. Maybe the eventual U...

It's great having all this info so readily available and of course a translation of the German fan site! My partner and I will be traveling next year for a few months and plan to do a cycle trip in the south of England. Still considering adding a tent to our pack ;) Accommodation in Exbury easy to c...

MJ, could you provide a link to your Papillon?

Love a copy of that

Thanks and Hoorah it's the weekend again!!

After three emails - including PayPal receipt - since August. Still nothing :( He replies on Facebook wall that he's looking into it but no action still. Dealing with diff timezones also. By the quiet of this thread I'm thinking others got their refund? Anyone can help me out please? It's quite dist...

Hi all,

I did get a reply from my Fbook wall post. He says shutting down the biz is necessary to start work on refunds and related issues ASAP . It's all in the works, apparently.

Good to see something is on its way! I would love to see a documentary made tracing the whole cult status of this series, which I ran home from primary school each Monday afternoon to watch. There is so much material and I'd (as a New Zealander), would love to see the locations and actors as they we...

Feeling both relieved and sad at this recent news... I had nearly clean forgotten about the book it had been so long, I logged on here for something else and I went to check and saw all these comments! I can understand how others like myself were excited to be part of this tome if we paid upfront an...

Ordered!

It's been quite a year for us Famous Five fans!

Def keen to support your work Gary

Some of my video editing work is on the German released Famous Five DVDs.

Hoorah!! Looking forward to your Dec launch.

Marc xx

Ok - didn't know or had access to this info.

Oh well, so be it. I will be receiving a free copy of the edition, so happy all the same and when (if ever) the Brit version comes out I'll get that one too.



Thanks for that!
