Strictly Famous Five

Post by Viv of Ginger Pop »

There was a F5 spoof last night... 48 mins in

... and when I turned over to watch QI there was another (brief) F5 reference!

I saw the Strictly Famous Five sketch. It was full of lashings of spiffing cliches, but I always think it's a good sign whenever something like that is done. After all, if no one knew who the Famous Fiver were, there wouldn't be any point in showing something like that.

Yes, I saw it, it was very good. I loved Timmy!!! Pity Brendon couldn't have joined though and made it the Famous Six, or should that be the Sexy Six!!

As Katharine says, most people know who the Famous Five are, which is excellent for all Blyton fans, as Enid lives on. :)
