Can you want revenge for the death of a wife you can't remember?

In other news, I got a new (secondhand) set of Blakes 7 DVDs today. I hope they will make good the places where my old set was getting worn and full of glitches. They are British ones this time, so won't give me a chance to learn such useful Dutch tourist vocabulary as 'Maximum Power!' and 'I'm not stupid, I'm not expendable and I'm not going'.

You've been watching it in the original Dutch?


No, it's in English, but it's a boxed set from the Netherlands and there is an option for Dutch subtitles.


Cool.

Have they found out who five was? She is the only one, who has no criminal past.


I think she was a pickpocket.


So, they are all criminals. I see. Thank you.


Yes, but she was a more minor one, without a reputation for violence.

I don’t think Five’s as famous as the Famous Five yet.


I like the Five Find-Outers more.

Who they?


Book series by Enid Blyton.

You know, I feel a cliffhanger ending coming on. I mean, how else are they going to finish this? (Given that there's a second series).

Well, she behaves like she is the most gentle person in the group.

This book series was translated into Russian, but I like the Five Find-Outers. There are also interesting characters in those books.

You'd think they'd have magnetic parts to stop that sort of things. Especially in space.

No, they are Fatty, Larry, Pip, Daisy and Bets. They have a dog, but he's not one of the group. Their books all start 'The Mystery of . . .'

Me too. Because that's what they were actually called originally. There were 13 of them IIRC. I much preferred them to the Famous Five.
