It doesn't play on my pc. It stays at the beginning of the track. Do I need an account to listen to it?

No, I just tried it, it works fine - maybe you have to enable javascript or the like to get it going. I had to allow two sites to run scripts so I could listen to it.

I tried it from chrome and it works. It doesn't work from my IE, maybe it is out of date or not configured correctly.
I haven't watch much of the series, but it is interesting to hear about this and Gary is a good speaker.

Gary is a pleasant speaker and has a lot to say. Listening to him is always taking me back in time.

I never knew he was given extra screen time because he was the oldest - and it may also have been to do with him being a good actor... not that the others were bad, though.

I found this Thread, earlier today, after a forum search, will definitely listen to the above, when I have got the time, below is a screencap (from the 1970's TV Version of The Famous Five) of Gary Russell.

From part one of the two part story - Five Get Into Trouble (1978).
