Malory Towers

I have really enjoyed watching this series downloaded from CBBC. I am 40 odd years old! I loved these books growing up. Yes it is not 'high art' but this is Enid Blyton and the treatment is pretty spot on i.m.o. The girls have been cast well ,Darrell is played very well and I too have to commend ghastly Gwendoline's portrayal.

In the currently difficult climate this has been a wonderful escape from reality and it's been lovely to immerse myself in such innocent nostalgia.

Please make another series!

So nice to find a wholesome show but also interesting and unique plot line. The scenery and set design matching the era are incredibly well done. Loved it!

Hello, I first read the entire series of Malory Towers in 1957. I was 7 years old. I was born and raised in a poverty stricken Salford, Near Manchester - times were hard, yet my mother spent money we couldn't really afford to buy me these second hand books. You might think that I read these books and felt envious of the characters - they did, after all, have so much more than I - but no. I was intrigued, captivated and laugh-out-loud entertained by their antics. I've always been a prodigious reader - but some themes', some ideas stay with you a lifetime - in this case it's the 'rose tinted glasses' ideal of an England where the Summers last forever... where friendships never fade and justice is served. The acting was... as has been noted... occasionally poor - but not exceptionally so - and the editing could have been far better. To summarise - this show holds true to the very essence of the books - and I believe that Enid Blyton would have been extremely happy with this outcome.

A good show that everyone can enjoy. The characters are great and played by good actors.

Delightful! Enjoyable entertainment for the whole family. Characters are charming and fun. Well written. Enjoyable!
