But in the end, the four of you stuck it all during two summers of production.

Even in spite of your cow phobia and that T-shirt, and Michelle's growing hay fever.


Commendable, I would say!

We had better clothes in S2. Well i did anyway. And a funky 70s jacket with go-faster stripes on the sleeve. Go me, yaaaay!

Michelle and I both suffered badly from hayfever. I just had pills that worked!

[daanton]

And also in Series/Season2, Jennifer/Anne got her distinctive lighter blue jacket that finally set her apart from Michelle/George's....!

I like also how Michelle's hay fever (and the pills for it) got worked into Series/Season2. Lightly touched upon (respectfully, of course) in four episodes. I suppose doing it that way was less expensive and less time-consuming than having to audition for a replacement actress....?

[Gary Russell]

Not sure why you think the idea of replacing Michelle would have even crossed anyone's mind. It's only hayfever, not the bubonic plague.

Enjoyed reading a lot of this Thread, yesterday, and definitely a Thread, which I will return to (a lot of interesting info on this Thread), yesterday, I received a copy of Enid Blyton's Famous Five Go to Smuggler's Top Annual (1979), which I bought on eBay, the Annual was in excellent condition.

[Billy Farmer]

Can anyone please let me know, how many Books, were published, that featured the cast of the 1970's TV version of The Famous Five, on the front cover.

I have got a lot of issues of TV Times, on DVD ROMs, including many issues from the late 1970's, that feature TV listings/and features, for the 1970's TV version of The Famous Five.

There's the full set of 21, plus I think 4 or 5 annuals, two bumper books, 6 large books, 2 large 3 in one books.... I'll have to dig them all out My facebook 78 series page has most if not all on there

[Billy Farmer]

Thank you for the above info, I would be grateful for any more info you could provide.

Just being thankful that it *was* only hayfever. That's all I'm saying.

Now there's a FF "TV book" fan! [BTW, long time no post!] I'd be lucky to have gotten only half of what you yourself have collected.

Thus far, I only need one (or two?) original book(s) and one more TV Annual. Perhaps we can compare....

Yes, my apologies, I put a post in Introducing when I slunk back.

I would be happy to compare

And, just in case I haven't already said so, welcome back.

[George@Kirrin]

Thank you

Tonight, I won the following item (The Famous Five Adventures Card Game, from 1978), on eBay.



On eBay, it stated that the above item contained a full set of the Cards and rules, and it also stated that the Cards and Box, were in mint condition.

[George@Kirrin]

Great stuff, it's a nice set

[Julie2owlsdene]

Well done, Billy. I did have a set, but sadly since I bought it back in the 70's I can no longer find it.
