Just watched the programme, very good indeed but far too short. If anyone missed it here's the link to the BBC South Today recent features archive.

You will need Realplayer or Media player installed on your PC, select the 256k option for best results.

Yes, I watched it too, a nice little segment. I have to say though that I get increasingly annoyed to be told as fact (this time by Sally in her introduction) that Enid wrote Corfe Castle in as Kirrin Castle in the Famous Five books, when we have it writing from Enid herself that the whole thing, Castle, island etc, was based on an island off the coast of Jersey!!

I was just reading a snippet in the Blackmore Vale magazine - about the Birthday Party. "Come to Corfe Castle - the real Kirrin Castle..." it said.

Maybe I could pretend I live in the real Kirrin Cottage.....? :|
