The Enid Blyton Society

I rather think the point is the lack of entries after '96/'97...

If she did nowt, there won't be any entries!

This is true, but as the questions were:

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

It's not overly enlightening

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.

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.

Hi Deej,

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

I think he's in a Foyle's War too.

Oh. I've missed more points than most people have missed buses.

Not sure about that, he may be.

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?

You're right there, and even Aunt George appears now and then.

It's strange that the 1990s series never captured the imagination in the way that the 1970s one did.

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.
