![]() ![]() It’s strange but if you take away the familiarity of the Five, any episode could be considered the first one. Surprisingly Kirrin Island Again does lend itself to an introductory episode. The initial reaction to this question is one of pure puzzlement – I mean why would anyone assume that the sixth book in the series could make a decent foray into a world we all love and adore. Let’s see how the 1970s lot managed to make Five on Kirrin Island Again their first episode. ![]() ![]() Regardless I failed to review them even on the second viewing of the series for the blog, and for that I should be told off and denied any of Joan’s lovely cakes and biscuits (that’s ok, cause I’m on a diet!) Anyway, I think we should start. I mean, the 1970’s Famous Five skipped Five on a Treasure Island all together and used Five on Kirrin Island Again as their first episode (something to do with the copyrights still being tied up with the Children’s Film Foundation who shot the black and white cinematic episodes in the 50s). I did give it a go, however it never really got off the ground because doing the first episode was far too complicated. Right so, a long time ago at the beginning of time (for this blog) I had this crazy notion that I was going to compare these TV series like for like and side by side. ![]()
