'78 series Famous Five Quiz

[Boatbuilder]

Also, I had to laugh when Quentin says in this episode, ‘stay where you are, don’t come any closer, I’m in quarantine’, to George when the Five arrive at Kirrin Cottage.

Seems like he had a premonition of 2020. Maybe he can find a cure.

[Anne Gracie]

Ah yes Boatbuilder! They got off lightly the Kirrins didn’t they?! I remember watching those episodes pre-Covid and thinking, wow, the things they had to deal with back then.. not like modern today.

Hmmm ... perhaps this is a stretch but here's a video version of a 78 series quiz, based on the Hike Together adaptation.

Well, I hope it occupies a few spare minutes in your day.

Here’s a new question:

In which episode does Aunt Fanny remind George to take her hayfever pills [deliberately written into the script because Michelle suffered visibly from hayfever]?

[Morgan Jones]

Anyone?

[daanton]

It was “Five Get Into Trouble”.

[Morgan Jones]

It was indeed. The first part of Five Get Into Trouble.

Over to you, daanton!

[Morgan Jones]

I’ll ask an easy one:

Comparing the book Five Go Off in a Caravan to the TV adaptation, what was different about the children’s mode of transport?

[Morgan Jones]

Any guesses? They were caravans in both cases, but what was different about them?

[Moonraker]

Totally different vans.

[Morgan Jones]

Yes, I’ll accept that. Enid describes the vans as modern and the illustrations in the book reflect this, showing the run-of-the-mill caravans often used by holidaymakers. In the TV series, the vans are the traditional traveller/Romani type, sometimes called vardos.

Over to you!

[Moonraker]

Thanks, Morgan.

To which of the books does this refer, and to whom?

The little scamp has taken Dick's bike and is off via the woods and the valleys and the hills to Granton to rattle the window of a man who could be connected with the current situation.

[Morgan Jones]

Is the person Jo, and is it Fall into Adventure?

[Morgan Jones]

Bump.

Nigel?

[Morgan Jones]

This isn’t really about the 1978 series, so if Nigel doesn’t answer, and nobody else guesses, we may as well have a new question.
