BBC reveals cast and first look images for ‘Drive’ director’s reimagining of The Famous Five

The new adaption is based upon the 21 children’s books Blyton wrote about four fictional children-turned-adventurers and their faithful companion Timmy the dog.

The stories follow Julien, Dick and Anne as they go and stay with their aunt, uncle and cousin Georgina (who refuses to answer to anything but ‘George’) in the fictional British coastal village of Kirrin for their summer holidays. Together the five find themselves entangled in countless adventures.
