The Comic Strip Presents... Five Go Mad In Dorset - Part 1/4

The middle classes biting the hand that feeds them, again. Still, this is brilliant

This is the nearest thing to Enid Blyton's original. The latest BBC pile of dog waste is a disgrace!!!

The Famous Five books clearly irritated the
the REAL fascists of the bigoted hate-filled
Left. Mrs Blyton should be congratulated if only for that. Well done that best-selling author. Carry on.

Lashing of ginger beer 😅

Timmy has been poisoned,Never mind George we'll get another

Here for the nostalgia trip! Is that a very young Robbie Coltrane behind the counter?

The Vomit Strip. Incredibly unfunny

"Our bikes happen to be in first class order"
Priceless!

Strange that some comments are upholding this as an example of pre pc and wokeness comedy when it’s clearly taking the piss out of people who are against those things

RIP Robbie Coltrane...the bits he plays in these are really funny

Aww RIP Robbie, the first time i saw you, loved u eversince xx

First watched it in 1988 on mtv on sunday nights , always a favorite. Jennifer gets more beautiful as she got older.

“This man looks foreign - let’s call the police” great line. Nowadays you couldn’t make jokes like that anymore

Positively wizard! 😂 😂 😂 I'm 38 and from 🇮🇪 but I've read everything from famous five, secret seven, adventurous four, St Clair, malory towers, magic faraway tree, with Dame Spankalot, zall the original noddy books with the savage golliwogs... This is the perfect piss take of Enid Blyton... Who was fond of outdoor nude couples tennis to say the least...

Had this on video. Bloody hilarious. All those empty gin bottles around the cottage. 😂
Why can't people just see the daft side of things these days...instead of banning everything.
My kids (all grown up now) still use some of these wonderful phrases. 'Never mind, we'll get another' , 'oh Timmy, you're so licky'. 'I' m so filthy rich, I don't 't have to' (say please) 😂😂
And our favourite..' why can't we do normal things, like Country Dancing...I'll pretend I didn't hear that '.

It's not how I remember the books. Lol

I just heard the latest news about the five. Julian had to resign his position in the army due to his authoritarian leadership style, Dick was a successful food critic for a brief while, but found that it worsened his obesity. Anne is under suspicion of poisoning her domineering husband and George is serving a ten year prison sentence for trying to revive the British Union of Fascists.

The pillorying of people back when this was made (in accordance with Enid Blyton’s attitudes) who are suspicious of immigrants - immigrants so hated by the Trump - who actually has married two immigrants and brought an additional two into the US - seemed comic before Trump and Brexit. So strange that what was once comic due to being so far-fetched is now the way two of the world’s dominant countries take as normal.

absolutely brilliant, my ginger beer cup is over flowing! Take the piss...any time you like

lashings of ginger beer! classics!

Golliiwog!!!!

Hagrid in drag 😆

Thanks, Old Stick!!

Kool !

It's Mental Mickey from 'Only Fools and Horses'! Just found this show and loving it already! How good was British comedy in the the 80s!?

MTV showed some of these WAY back. Nice to see them again.

THANKS SO MUCH!!! It's great to see them so young and still full of so much talent:-) Love 'Bags of lettuce and lashings of ginger beer!'

i've been looking as well since I saw it on telly in 82

OMFG I have been looking for this for years
