The New Famous Five! A Whole Load of Crap!

Right, So I know my first post was on the new update of the Famous Five, but suddenly over at least Four British Papers today, there have been articles on the New animation series.

I get that to get people to read the books you might have to make an animation of the books, but that does not mean that you have to update it so much that it is as unreconisable as The Famous Five- which it orginally started out as!

I suppose for most Enid Blyton Fans the definitive series of The Famous Five was the 1976 Version- which is fair enough. But as a "Verteran" Of the 1996 series I have to say along with Many others that this is going to spoil the Magic of the books and the Magic of Enid Blyton herself!

I see the point in updating the stories to Animation, but why change every single thing about The Famous Five!

These characters will become icons for the next gernation for potential Enid Blyton Fans! They will come to read the books and fall flat on them because of the fact that they are nothing like the TV Series that they grew up with!

Obviously things would have to change, for Political correctness sake (Although God knows why, Because the books are of their time) that you would have to have Ethnic Diversity, but seriously! They thing is un reconisable from it's counter-part!

To prove my point, I have posted the links to the articles in the papers, today! The Sun is particulally interesting because it has a very bad clip of the first episode! The Sound's a bit crap!

Well see what you think and Let me know you're thoughts and feelings!

___Answer Truthfully___

100. Is There Someone You Want But You Know You Can't Have? Yes for a long time now, there’s a couple of them actually.

Birthday!

It's that time of year, when I can be as happy as I want and no one questions why!

I'm Seventeen on Monday!

Yippee!

Seventeen! OK OK, so the only real extra advantage is that i can drive. And I plan on taking that advantage and running with it!

I can't wait really! I have my first Driving lesson next Thursday! I'm really looking forward to it!

I'm having some friends over tomorrow for pizza and a movie. And I suppose we'll muck around a bit too! Nothing like having friends over to lighten the spirits.

I suppose you're sitting there, reading this and thinking to yourself- She's seventeen, why isn't she having this great big party and total mash up? Well this is because there is more to life than drink! I don't have big parties because I'd have to clear up all the mess.

I am not above drinking as a rule, I just don't see it as necessary to go out every Friday, and Saturday Night and get mashed down the park, where anything could happen. I'm quite happy with simple things such as the Internet, my books, and my music.

You don't need Alcohol to have a good time, and it does so much damage to your body, It's a wonder anyone still has a body left. But to have a really good time, you're mates are the most important thing out there! You can be drunk, and lonely. You can be lonely in a crowd. But with a few really good mates, you can have a fabulous time!

Now I not saying that Alcohol is a bad thing, taken in moderation it can be a good thing, But too much can be bad for you.

Now I'm looking forward to Monday for several reasons;

1. It's My Birthday!! (Obvious)
2. I haven't got Chemistry (YAY! I'm failing and not having Chem on my birthday is a great Birthday Present!)
3. I don't have to go to work (Nuff said)

And Of course, PRESENTS! YAY! The best bit about birthdays!

So as you can see, I can't wait for my Birthday! The one day a year, I would say I'm allowed to be a little selfish!

LOL Just Kidding!
