I'm not really sure what I think of this. They really do look more like Scooby Doo! I remember watching the tv series of it when I was little !happy!

Did you ever read the books? I read all of Enid Blytons books.
Absolute classics.

It's been updated for a 21st century audience.

Read a lot of them when I was a kid. When you've just discovered the joys of reading, you devour a hell of a lot of books. They were enjoyable at the time.

It looks like a load of shit to me, but I suppose I'm hardly the target audience any more!

I read quite a lot of Enid Blyton books when I was younger (my favourite was Malory Towers) but I didn't read all the famous five

I read all of them and still have them.
I remember the 1970s Southern Television series- wonderful.

Used to love Enid Blyton books as a kid. The Faraway Tree and The Magic Wishing Chair were great...

Tv never lives up to the books though.

So it'll still be a load of middle class shite then?
