The Famous Five (Part 2)

Aaaand we're back for part two!

If you listen to things in the correct order, you'll have already heard us discussing the life of Enid Blyton, the genius of actor Jack Gleeson, the plot of the first book and its adaptation, and how we feel about it (we feel good about it).

Now we've got all that out the way, we can tackle big questions such as, "how do you adapt the work of an author who was racist?", "is George supposed to be interpreted as a transgender character?", and "should black actors be cast in Enid Byton adaptations? (yes)"

Enjoy!
