I watched it this evening and I now have a much better understanding of why none of the main channels were interested in showing it.

If I review this for the blog would anyone object if I quoted their opinion from this thread?
"It's the ash! It's falling!" yelled Julian, almost startling Dick out of his wits...
"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.

I've been looking forward to this since I heard it was coming on - picture then my dismay when I discovered on Wednesday night that we do not have Gold :evil:

Very disapointed with Five go to Rehab... I watched half an hour of it and then switched off. I was surprised they refered to George as their sister. I thought it was silly and unfunny. Also offending to Blyton fans... I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone. Also I heard that there wasn't as much 'taking the mick' in this one... Well how much taking the mick can you get?

Umm.. it doesn't sound good at all! :twisted: No, seriously, I don't even know if it comes on here in India, but I'm not gonna bother to find out if it's so bad!

As Tony so rightly said elsewhere, it is down to a personal matter of opinion. Never be put off by other's comments, it is important to form your own opinion. Be guided, but not controlled, by another opinion.

This proves that different people think different things! Unfortunately it isn't here on TV in India, but soon enough it'll come on you tube, so I'll watch it then!
