Re: General Natter Room
Sadly Morgan is no longer with us. But Julie does have a new dog called Rosie, so perhaps she was involved...

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Re: General Natter Room
I remember the incidence very well because many forumites used to pull Nigel's leg. I remember seeing a photo of Nigel, John Pickup and Cathy outside the pub here in forum. I remember very well their meet up with Julie as well. I think Morgan was still alive then. But you're right, Courtenay. Maybe it was a different meet up altogether.
Re: General Natter Room
Julie's dogs have never bitten me or anyone else to my knowledge. I rather imagine it might have been one of our six-legged friends...

Re: General Natter Room
We don't have the biting spiders that Australia has, so an insect is a far more likely culprit.

Re: General Natter Room
Well, I always wondered why Philip thought the spider that was crawling on Lucy-Ann's arm in "The Woods of Adventure" was poisonous. Well, it gave a good plot-device for Dinah.

Re: General Natter Room
I assume The Woods of Adventure was not set in the UK?

Re: General Natter Room
The series was set in the UK, this episode as well, the Woods are close to the Mannering's home when Bill pretended to have a holiday with Allie and the children to investigate the death of one of his co-workers.Daisy wrote:I assume The Woods of Adventure was not set in the UK?
They go abroad now and then, but not in this episode.

'The Woods of Adventure' sounds...er...a bit different to the other proper books in the series!! Death of Bill's co-worker?!

Re: General Natter Room
For some reason the Adventure TV series changed 'The Castle of Adventure' into 'The Woods of Adventure, at a guess because there was already a adaption of Castle and they either didn't want to use the same title or weren't allowed to . The story was completely changed as well, it's nothing like the book!Daisy wrote:I assume The Woods of Adventure was not set in the UK?

Re: General Natter Room
Thanks for that clarification... I have seen very little EB on screen and have only lately got a set of the 70s Famous Five TV adaptations.
