Famous Five Have Midlife Crisis


Blognor Regis draws my attention to a loony project to bring back the Famous Five as middle aged sleuths in a television programme.

Leave that stuff to Angela Lansbury, CSI and The Bill.

The idea just seems completely loopy. Leave them alone. Let their memory rest with that generation of readers. I don't want to imagine what George ended up like.

More interesting would be a contemporary take on the group. As one of the commenters on the article noted, the following titles might work.

Five get an ASBO, Five go Joyriding, Five get hammered on White Lightning and Five get High.

  1. No, I don't want to imagine George in middle age either!
