Will the magic still be there at 50
28 August 2007
I’m hoping that those of my generation (and earlier) are feeling just as excited and anxious about this — the Famous Five are coming back! Not as children off on adventures and solving crimes, but middle-aged adults who are brought together by another crime.
No one should be surprised that I identified with George the most when I was a child — I was a total tomboy (it definitely wasn’t any sort of gender confusion, I just thought boys had the better games, sports, toys) and the Famous Five just fed my completely unrealistic desire for adventure. Growing up in a middle-class suburb in Singapore doesn’t really offer much opportunity for exploring and intrigue. The best we had was the dark house at number 13 (or 11a, as it was re-numbered).
The only thing I’m worried about is seeing the Five at 50 might spoil the fun for me — but I doubt it. Bring it on!

Watch "The Comic Strip" versions…
"Five Go Mad in Dorset"
"Five Go Mad on Mescaline"
It will give you a whole new perspective on the F5 as adults!!!
