Phil Dunster is following in the footsteps Gordon MacRae and Hugh Jackman (for at least two nights) and will play Curly in an upcoming performance of OKLAHOMA at Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

Tom Hendryk loves him some Philip.

-While Phil is going very live, a few other AFC Richmond-ers are going animated. Cristo, Hannah and Brett with Cristo providing the voice of Chipiri in THE CASAGRANDES MOVIE on Netflix;

and Brett and Hannah (who recently won a Royal Television Society Award)

in the upcoming THE GARFIELD MOVIE.

-Also, for the children is James Lance, who appeared in the second installment of THE FAMOUS FIVE: PERIL ON THE NIGHT TRAIN.

James is living for this hat/scarf combo, isn't he?

Still in the kids realm, Brett has conquered the Muppets, now he is on to Fraggle Rock!

Appearing as Pryce, Brett also gets to sing in the episode.

-On the live-action side, we now have a release date for Moe Hashim's next project; the Anthony Hopkins gladiator saga THOSE ABOUT TO DIE - coming to Peacock on July 18th.

-David Elsendoorn has been hanging out with the Boom Chicago crowd in Amsterdam, but took time out to visit Stephen Manas.

For those wondering who George Kirrin is: may I present 8-year-old me's hero, a 1940s children's book character

#pinning this #because what else explains my silly little life like the character that introduced me to transness a solid 15 years before I transitioned #and remains part of a special interest that my brain likes to cozy up in for comfort #my mum got me this copy for my collection for christmas and it was originally owned by someone who grew up in the same village as my dad #so its v special :3 #george kirrin #the famous five #enid blyton

I'm working on something about the inadvertent queerness of Enid Blyton's works. So if you have absolutely anything to say on this matter, up to and including:

the transess of George Kirrin

Bill unorthodox gender presentation

Bill and Clarissa

The lesbian undertones in both Malory towers and St Clares

Adaptations adding/ removing queerness

anything else

Please, please, please talk to me about this in any way shape or form. I would love to hear anything you have to say.

George from The Famous Five (Enid Blyton books)

Reasoning: Listen. I, as a little transmasc egg, read about him and thought "oh, just like me! :)" and didn't think more of it. Then, about a decade or two later, I suddenly remembered him and holy shit, he was straight up trans. Like it's not even coding, he literally identifies as a boy, experiences gender dysphoria, experiences gender euphoria, he... he's literally just straight up trans and nobody even told us when we were little. This is a trans character from 1942. He's literally trans. Save him

[couldtransitionsavehim]

Could transition have saved him?

Propaganda: Look. Nobodys gonna say it was remotely intentional. But George wants to be a boy, hates being called a girl, loves being "mistaken" for a boy, it's not a reach. Made me transgender.

Mum found and bought collection of ALL The Famous Five books by Enid Blyton !!!!!!!! (At least it is all of them as far as I know, I have not looked properly yet or ordered them).

I am so so happy excited !! These books I have loved for soooo long. I haven't read all of them, I don't think. But we had growing up a book that was a collection of several of them combined, I read it so many times over.

I will have to put them in order and start reading! The nostalgia will be so good. These characters have stayed in my mind for such a long time.

I always find it funny that growing up I was a lot like George from The Famous Five because I refused to wear dresses, hated being called a girl and constantly tried to do what my older brother did but when I read the books my favourite character was Anne who is the complete opposite of me.

#she’s just so sweet #and I love how the older three are so protective of her #the famous five #famous five #enid blyton #george kirrin #anne kirrin
