Sorry, Gary, I misunderstood. I thought you meant where it was being filmed. Sadly, I have no idea what the programme was that was being filmed.Gary Russell wrote:I wasn't asking about the location, i was wondering what the footage was fromMoonraker wrote:I must have missed that post!
Well, at least I might have solved the location mystery that Gary was asking about!

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
I'm wondering whether the two blurred photos might be stills, taken from a piece of video showing the filming of Five Go Off to Camp. A very short clip of the video can be seen in this 2008 interview with Marcus Harris and Jennifer Thanisch (0:30 - 0:45) but I assume the original footage was longer. I'm afraid I've no idea whether the complete footage can be viewed anywhere:Gary Russell wrote:Does anyone know what the two blurred photos showing people filming is from?Onkel Quentin wrote:On the german fansite, there is a picture, you can see how they "faked" the tunnel entrance and more other very interesting informations.

Good lord I have no recollection of any one ever doing behind the scenes filming on Camp or anything else and yet there it is - briefly. How interesting...

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Great stuff, Anita. Well done! I've seen the interview a few times before, but I'd totally forgotten about the brief clip. I don't think I would've thought of it any time soon!
Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Well done, Anita! I saw the whole interview (or at least I think it was the same one!) last year. I remember Gary and Marcus sitting on a beach, but have no idea what the programme was called.

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
You may be confusing one for the other. The one Anita mentions is an interview with Marcus & Jennifer for a local TV programme in the South about 4 years ago, & the other is the recent BBC One show clip which was aired last Sept/Oct time. The latter shows Gary, Marcus & Jennifer on the beach at Brownsea Island & a few other locations, one of which was Corfe Castle station (I think!).

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
The interview I linked to on YouTube, which only features Marcus Harris and Jennifer Thanisch, was broadcast on Thames Valley Tonight in August 2008.

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
That's the one, Anita! I knew it was shown in the Southern region. I genuinely thought it was only around 4 years ago. I didn't realise it was a lot longer! Just shows how quickly time has flown! Thanks again for sharing the link.

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Haha! Yes, they got my name wrong! It seems it's not only my face that's forgettable!!Onkel Quentin wrote: Thank you Daisy.
There are also a lot photos from the locations. I think you can find it, if you google:
"Fünf Freunde Fanpage Drehorte" "(Drehorte" is the german word for "Filming location").
If you read the name "Adrian Wood", this is our "number 6", but it is not his right name!
The German fan page is a great site, full of great pics/info. I think it's now got an English section, too, but I'm not sure it's fully completed as yet.

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Has anyone seen this FF movie from 2012 in the German Language? Seems to be some trailers for it here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7eYywHwtGU" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Looks like pretty good production values, maybe?
Thanks for all the recent information too, btw. Interesting reading. I've been set back by "Google Earth Pro". Seems it doesn't handle "My Places" as well as the original "Google Earth" so I had to revert back to the latter version. Hopefully I haven't lost all my places.
Has anyone ever thought of having donations at this site so that we might pay for more storage space so the site could host pictures? or is that even possible?

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
There's a thread about this film: http://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/foru ... =22&t=3834. I watched it, and I'm not sure Enid Blyton would have approved of every aspect of the film.privateer2001 wrote:Has anyone seen this FF movie from 2012 in the German Language?

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Wolfgang, thanks for the reply and the link. Perhaps she would not have approved of it, but I'm glad it got made. Has anyone actually seen it? I've followed umpteen links to nowhere in my attempts to find it. It looks good in the previews.
