Episode description

Crack open the ginger beer and cucumber sandwiches! This week is all about George, Julian, Anne, Dick, and Timmy.


The 2023 Famous Five adaptation has got all the GB News watching public up in arms due to its Wokeness. We're here to offer some perspective - the new Famous Five is GOOD and we LIKE it.


In part 1, we discuss the life of Enid Blyton, the genius of actor Jack Gleeson, the plot of the first book and its adaptation, and how we feel about it (we feel good about it).


Catch us in Part 2 for big ideas such as "how do you adapt the work of an author who was racist?", "is George supposed to be interpreted as a transgender character?", and "should black actors be cast in Enid Byton adaptations? (yes)"
