Five go mad on mescaline. Dog dies, dog resurrected. Lashings of Smirnoff and 'don't hog the space cakes, Dick'. Anyone remember Comic Strip? Wake up Hodder! Someone beat you to it 25 years ago.
There’s a juniper tree in my garden, but I have an uncle in Kiev.

I don't know about Enid Blyton and class, how abt her racial comments? They definitely needed toning down. The only Noddy story I can recall was how he was set upon in a wood and robbed of his car and clothes by a gang of golliwogs. Got me worrried abt the black window cleaner in the next town, the first coloured person I ever saw. Anyhow, Big ears saved the day, although I can't remember how.

And then there’s the Blytonesque remake of the classic ‘The secret Seven’, staring Brat Pitt, Kevin Spacey and Scamper. ‘What’s in the box, Peter?’ Maybe Hodder will finally print Blyton’s darker works: Let’s Dig up Granddad – The Walking Corpse from the Tea Rooms – Five go Shoplifting, et al ‘I swiped some sticky buns, what did you nick, Julian?’ ‘I got a flat screen.’ ‘Gosh, Jules, is it HD ready?’

Five go Cottaging in Dorset.
Five go Dogging in Devon
The Secret Seven vs The Famous Five
Dick froze, his young face jolly ashen. 'Jules. I've just trod on a mine.' Julian shook his fist up to heaven. 'Damn you, Secret Seven, Damn you!'

The famous five and the secret seven decide to settle their differences with a dog fight. ‘Don’t forget, George, we’re in the bally 21st century now.’ ‘Timmy’s a match for any dog; he’s clever,’ Georgina replied, confidently. (yuch!) 'Yap, yap,' went Timmy Scamper the Pit Bull licked his lips.
