The Famous Five
The BBC reports that "The Famous Five," Enid Blyton's childhood sleuths, are going to be "reimagined" as middle-aged grown-ups in a new TV drama. Blyton wrote the Famous Five books between 1942 and 1963. The television series takes place 30 years after the end of the book series, and they hope that adults who read the books as children will be drawn to the familiar characters who now share a lot of the same problems and concerns as they do. Disney is, at the same time, producing a Famous Five animated TV series, about the Kirrin Island kids in a 21st century setting. Phil Clymer, Chorion's director of TV and film, said: "The Famous Five obviously have an appeal that crosses generations. We thought, in addition to the new dynamic animated TV approach for the core audience of kids, that it would be a fascinating exercise to look at what might happen to the characters when they arrive at middle-age." Jo Wright, of the production team, added: "We felt that the idea of a grown-up Famous Five would appeal to many generations of readers in Britain and Europe. The characters will be looking back to a simpler time when their lives were stress-free and more enjoyable."
