Now then... Jimmy Brown may have turned out to be like Mr Galliano when he had grown up... but I'll go for Jimmy Brown as we hear so much more of him.

Jimmy Brown or Fenella?

Jimmy Brown as I longed to be him when I was a child. What a great situation Enid dreamed up for him. :D

Jimmy Brown or Snubby?

A tricky one - but I have to say Snubby - because he's one of Enid's most amusing characters in my opinion!

Snubby or Fatty?

Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

Fatty, a very smart, happy child. Would love to be like him.

Fatty or Pip?

Fatty, definitely. Pip's not bad, but he mainly acts as the slightly patronising older brother trying to keep Bets in her place. Fatty is brilliant, clever, talented and lovably infuriating (or infuriatingly lovable?) in the way he's full of himself but always lives up to his own boasting!

Fatty or Barney?

That's a hard one Courtenay!
I love Fatty as a character, always looking out for mystery, very intelligent and friendly but I think this time I will go for Barney, as he is a ideal person I need just now. With Miranda as well, of course!! ;)

Barney or Julian?

Julian, natch! Authoritative, yet jovial and also kind-hearted.
But then again, I've only read FAMOUS FIVE, not THE R------- MYSTERIES. :(

Julian or Philip Mannering?

Philip, definitely. Julian is not bad, but he's pompous and patronising at times. Philip never is, as far as I can recall.

Philip Mannering
or

Hmm, good one! I will go for Philip as the more even-tempered of the two though Dinah does add colour to the stories!

Philip, along with Jack they are very mature characters and Philip loves natures. :)

Philip or Jack Trent?

Hmmm, hard to pick, as they're both good characters and get very involved in all the adventures. I'll pick Jack because he has Kiki! :mrgreen:

Jack Trent
or
Andy (Adventurous Four)?

Ah well, it has to be Jack just because we get to know him so much better in the longer series although Andy is an admirable character too.

Jack Trent
or
Dick Kirrin?

Jack Trent. Even though I really love Dick Kirrin, I believe Jack Trent is more of an adventurer and of course, he has Kiki!
Dick is an exceptional character but I am going for Jack this time.

Jack Trent or Kiki? :lol:

How can you separate those two? It has to be Jack though.
