20. Are you watching anything good on television right now?

The Malory Towers series based on Enid Blyton's books. I was a bit unsure at first but I'm enjoying it now.

I'm enjoying it a lot too! It's really sweet and a couple of extra things aside, they're mostly following the plot pretty closely, which is nice.

I was surprised at how much I'd forgotten of the original storyline. I wonder if they'll do any more Malory Towers.

It's also surprising it's taken them this long to do an adaptation. Haven't they done a number of Famous 5s already?

[thisbluespirit]

I hope so! I mean, if they do intend to, then as they've only done book 1, they've potentially got 5 more series to go.

They have done a couple of Famous 5s, and there was definitely an Adventure series one, too, I think, but I don't believe anyone's ever adaptaed any of the school stories before.

*waves at Mary-Lou icon*

Isn't Gwendoline hilarious? She's such a trouble maker.

Have you seen the Parents Day ep yet? Mary-Lou rubbing her tongue with her hanky had me giggling.

Yes, Gwendoline is being exactly the right kind of entertainingly awful! I'm impressed.

And, ha, I have - I went through it too quickly and am now all done! And, heh, yes, I thought I'd try making some icons and thought the Mary-Lou one came out well.
