The One Show
The One Show
Last night's The One Show, (7pm BBC1) had a feature on food and the Famous Five. Watch it again here. It is featured almost from the start, so is well worth watching. There's even a "geek" interviewed who has listed hundreds of facts!

Re: The One Show
Thanks, Nigel. The relevant part starts about 11 minutes into the programme. Fancy someone going to the trouble of drawing up a food chart!

Not too surprising as we've just had the summer solstice.

Re: The One Show
How amazing that the man has actually made a spread sheet of everything they'v eaten in the F.F. books, nice to hear that he actually made the reference to the fact that Enid never said lashing of gingerbeer!

I walked in halfway through it last night, but I have just watched it again on Nigel's link. Josh Sutton was his name, but he is not a registered member of the forums and does not he belong to the Society despite being a Famous Five food fanatic!

The BBC hates us, doesn't it? Anyone knows if this is available on YouTube?

Re: The One Show
I saw it when it was on TV. I'm sure someone's already posted a link, a long time ago, to an article about that guy. I've definitely seen an extract of his chart before.
As I was watching it in the my Mum shouted my name from the living-room and I immediately answered "I'm watching it!" I then had a text from my aunt telling me it was on. It's almost like my family know I like Blyton!

"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.
