I voted for the 70s series
When I saw the series for the first time I was 8 years old and I only new the German Famous Five audio cassettes by then so I couldn't really compare the TV series with the books. And I still don't do it because I loved the stories back then the way they were and I loved the actors (especially Gary...
I had a crush on him, but shh... ) who did a great job (but did I envy George/Michele for having
that dog!
...
) and I don't want to loose the good feeling I had about it when I was a child. The kids who played the Famous Five in the German audio plays also did the dubbing for the 70s series. And hearing the same voices again on TV made me feel comfortable (but thank God they didn't use the same dog!
). Of course it would have been nice if some of the episodes would have been closer to the books but for me the stories were exciting anyway. Four kids + a dog (!!) + an adventure = perfect combination, no matter what
.
Marcus, Gary, Jennifer, Michele and Toddy were
my Famous Five and oh, did I hate the 90s series when it came out!
I was 13 at that time (= not a good time for changes)
Gosh, I was so stupid!
Now I like the 90s series though I haven't seen all the episodes yet
But the 70s series will always be my favourite!
