🎥 Big Trouble On Billycock Hill (2025): Movie review

Released in December of last year, this is currently the most modern of the movies that I’ve watched. It’s a BBC children’s film that follows the adventures of the Famous Five. It’s number five in the series. 

Although set in the thirties – or possibly the forties by now, as war is underway – the cast is very much a modern day imposition, as it’s no longer an all-white list of people. 

I’m a big fan of the Famous Five and, taking away the updates as just referenced, as a stand alone film, it’s pleasant to watch. The story itself isn’t based on an actual Enid Blyton book.
