Famous Five 90s Series
Re: Famous Five 90s Series
I rather think the point is the lack of entries after '96/'97...

I wonder where she is now, and what she's working with?

Re: Famous Five 90s Series
It seems to be a common theme of the actors/actresses from the 96/7 series. With the exception Jemima Rooper, most haven't been very successful in acting since. I guess it was only broadcasted on regional and children's TV.Moonraker wrote:If she did nowt, there won't be any entries!

Christopher Good hasn't exactly avoided the limelight...

Christopher has made a lot of one-off camera appearances in TV programmes. He's been in Midsomer Murders, Egypt, Rosemary & Thyyme, Famous 5: On the Case and Doctor Who: The Beast Below. Nothing for a sustained period of times but he's done better than most of them.

I never heard of that film. Is it the newest FF movie or a TV production?

Hi Chrissie - it's an animated TV series which is broadcast on the Disney channel in this country. It's based on the Famous Five series but the adventures involve the children making use of new technology such as laptop computers and mobile phones.
All the children have different names as well, although Timmy the dog has remained the same. It's essentially a modern version of Famous Five.

Aren't the children supposed to be the offspring of the original four?

Re: Famous Five 90s Series
It's strange that the 1990s series never captured the imagination in the way that the 1970s one did.

Re: Famous Five 90s Series
That depends on the person. It certainly captured my imagination more than the 70's series. And a lot of Jemima's fans know her from The Famous Five.
