Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Nice to hear from you Luke! Gary recall the ‘Old Towers’ gates being rigged up at Royden Manor on the drive somewhere I think. A big Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Blyton forums crew from me. I wasn't aware of the fact that the gates were rigged. In that case, that location is harder to ...

Just add 'Merry Christmas' at the end of your request, FFD...
So Gary said the fix gates have been around Brockenhurst. Some mystery to solve for next year I guess.

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Awesome Onkel Quentin! I know you live close to Munich. Maybe he was in a hurry. For some actors the series has a special place in their heart (as I recall an interview with the late Michael Hinz on the DVD where he says it was the best he has ever done) and for others it was just another part of th...

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Thanks timv. The link works fine. Wow, what a nice picture. I wasn't aware that exact spot was so well known and documented. I have never seen a picture yet from that location, so I believe this is a first. Number 6 did a good job there taking the picture. I see you have been quite busy during your ...

Thank you, number 6. Well done!number 6 wrote:I think this location needs no introduction! The last pic is for Luke. It's a close up of the barn that can be seen in the background of the screen shot. There's two buildings. One behind the other! I think we had a discussion about this many moons ago

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Amazing pictures, number 6! Don't worry about the ipad quality, I think they couldn't be any better uploaded to this thread. You had good weather as well, almost similar to the one during the "trail" shooting. The telegraph pole is still standing on the "farmwoman" pic. Quite ast...

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Thank you timv for the description and the update on the locations. About the tree location of "Finniston Farm", I want to remind you of a line from one of FFD posts: "The tree has now been cut down and only the base of the trunk is remaining but the bridge connecting two fields still...

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Having some fun trying to visualise what timv is saying because why not? Looks like some trees may have been removed since, certainly at 'E'. Great work, FFD. This might be the exact position of the camera. Or maybe south of the « St Leonards Cottages Road » instead of almost to the west?: https://...

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Thanks timv and number 6 for those location infos. They are quite unique. I was looking at Warborne Farm on Google Streetview and the adjacent fields might be the ones with the sheep. I will just trust you on those two locations... :) Meanwhile, I have been exploring a little bit this exciting link ...

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Have you any plans of your own to come to the New Forest in the near future? :D (...) I do find it quite odd that people from 50+ Countries are allowed to travel hundreds of miles to come into the UK, but I'm not allowed to travel very far in my own Country!! It's like everywhere, number 6. Money r...

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Great pics, number 6. Thanks for posting. I haven't been to the Dancing Ledge yet. It must be nice out there and you once said you like to dwell there looking at the waves when no one is there. I can imagine it's beautiful. I hope to visit it one day but not when it's hot since I can't stand very ho...

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
I have Pm'd him yesterday evening on why he did that and left like this and he said he had a brain fade when he deleted all the posts. I just saw this morning he rewrote or replaced his posts again "as best as he could". I guess he needs a break and I believe the deletion was not meant in ...

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Pretty sure we know Fix and Trouble stuff cos that's S2 and we have everything noted for that (right Adie?). Finniston Farm is annoyingly one of the S1 eps I have no paperwork for. I forget that one, Gary. But having paperwork for the entire S2 is already more than you can wish for. I always consid...
