Famous 5: On the Case

Famous 5: On The Case is an animated television series which is currently broadcast in the United Kingdom, on the Disney Channel. It is a British and French television co-production, loosely based on The Famous Five series of books created by Enid Blyton. At least some of the episodes have been developed for television by Douglas Tuber and Tim Maile, the writers of the former Disney Channel series Lizzie McGuire. On June 21, 2008 the show debuted in Italy and Australia on Disney Channel. Jo, Max, Allie, Timmy and Dylan are the children of the original Famous Five - George, Julian, Anne, Timmy... and Dick - who live in the town of Falcongate. Max, Allie and Dylan are all cousins whilst Jo is their second cousin. They, like their parents before them, embark on a new series of adventures. During these adventures the new Famous Five are able to make use of newer technology such as laptop computers and mobile phones which had not been invented in their parents' day. The show has attracted some criticism from some Blyton fans.
